Dirty Tricks

― andrew m., Friday, 15 February 2019 15:12 (seven years ago)

trying to guess the plot of dirty tricks based on the poster. coming up blank.

― andrew m., Friday, 15 February 2019 15:22 (seven years ago)

at some point i looked it up... i want to say kate jackson is an aspiring singing star and there's probably like one scene where they're in a bathtub together. the rest i have no idea.

Don't forget they were all painted by George Washington.

― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Friday, 15 February 2019 15:53 (seven years ago)

George Washington / "Dirty Tricks" = gotta be Rich Little doing a Nixon impression in there somewhere.

who's the one all the way in the back, center?

That's Buttigieg pulling up the rear.

"Knock, Knock..." also plausible as the title of a forgettable comedy from this period, nice work.

Cory Booker in that drawing looks like Keegan Michael Key about to tell you about Liam Neesons

Uptown Saturday Night (1974)

― andrew m., Thursday, 21 February 2019 21:12 (seven years ago)

lots of blaxploitation film posters fit the bill

― andrew m., Thursday, 21 February 2019 21:14 (seven years ago)

those have def been posted, in the thread's early days, but maybe not captioned. i watched "bingo long..." a few years back because of this thread!

dangit, i made that mistake with dirty tricks too. will be a better thread checker. but yeah, some older ones not captioned.

Leader of The Band, 1987

― a large tuna called “Justice” (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 1 March 2019 22:05 (seven years ago)

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vM0XJING3p0/U0wIQwPDfcI/AAAAAAAAGnk/OrdDJY-ojFw/s1600/Between+the+Lines.jpg

Between the Lines (1977). Pretty sure this has been posted but Ctrl-F didn't turn it up. Saw this movie tonight in a gorgeous restoration and it's a thumbs up. Pretty aimless and the ending is kinda frustrating ---- it definitely reads as a male-written script directed by a woman who's trying to tug it back towards really understanding her female cast ---- but there's a ton of good stuff in there, especially if you get a kind of warm fuzzy feeling from seeing 70s domestic and workplace interiors dressed to be maximally sloppy and piled up with books and papers and shit. Also Goldblum is already peak Goldblum.

I remember pointing out the Southside Johnny appearance.

aha, yes - it's here: post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

Riding Tall (1974)

Final day for two rarely-screened '70s rodeo dramas: a beautiful Sony Archive 35mm print of Cliff Robertson's J.W. COOP (1971) plays tonight (Thursday) at 7:30pm paired with the not-on-dvd rarity RIDING TALL (1972) starring Andrew Prine at 9:50pm. pic.twitter.com/NsXCDkSwqv

(er, 1972 according to the tweet, 1974 based on posters online)

I went to that last night!

― ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 15 March 2019 15:10 (seven years ago)

How was it?

Also, kind of a photo variation of busy/claustrophobic:

Un permiso para ligar (1980)

I say this every time that The Paper surfaces in an ILX thread but I love that movie

Pretty sure this is posted somewhere uncaptioned upthread, but:

Dragged Across Concrete (2019)

― ... (Eazy), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:27 (seven years ago)

I dunno, this style of poster feels like the slicker 90s cousin to the busy/claustrophobic etc. I remember a lot of the Grisham movies having posters similar to this.

― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:39 (seven years ago)

that one is neither busy nor does it contain caricature

― blokes you can't rust (sic), Thursday, 11 April 2019 15:41 (seven years ago)

It is busy in the sense that a lot of actors faces are crammed into it. Like I said, the less fun 90s variant on what we're talking about here.

The Magic of Lassie (1978)

― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Friday, 12 April 2019 03:17 (seven years ago)

Another latter day parody of the style, this one is particularly dire:

The Pink Angels (1971). Huge, high-quality version here. Probably posted before without caption, what a piece of work. The Davis-esque artist is C. Bruce Steffenhagen, also responsible for:

Up Your Alley (1972)....

Close Shave (1979)... and also Alice Goodbody, aka Gosh (1974), already posted upthread.

I so want to pitch a coffee table book of the best of this thread one of these days...

Your Three Minutes Are Up, 1973

I thought surely Kentucky Fried Movie would have one of these, but its poster was surprisingly tasteful.
