Dunno if my favourite Star Wars posters from Burger King are admissible:

Hadn't seen this one before, done in the style of the outsider artist in the film.

Do the credits at the bottom of America list Robert Downey as "the director of Putney Swope"? I've never seen that in the little credit box before

Must have been trying to harness anew the undeniable Kibbee/MacMahon chemistry that enchanted us all in Gold Diggers of 1933.

GDo1933 is fantastic, tho that's mostly down to the script and obv the production numbers. but hmm!

I'm frankly amazed that *this* Cracking Up (aka Smorgasbord, 1983) doesn't also have a busy etc poster:

Pacific Banana (1980)

visiting, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:30 (four years ago) link

The production of this film was raised in the South Australian Parliament as a criticism of the then government for allowing the South Australian Film Corporation to helm such fodder after it had produced such reputable works as Sunday Too Far Away (1975), Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and Storm Boy (1976).

Good one! The rest of the Lenny Weinrib filmography qualifies as well:

Wild, Wild Winter (1966)

the tagline of Out Of Sight has sent Epic by Faith No More running through my head (never a bad thing)

hahaa

Doctor Casino, Monday, 17 February 2020 15:47 (four years ago) link

there's something subtly really bad about the wild wild winter one. Maybe it's the way the brunette in right is stepping on the head while getting a ski up her butt. Also the weird non-straight "cut-out" wild wild songs, the way the "guest star" boxes don't really balance out the giant blonde, the black bar that just stops 3/4 of the way across the top, etc.

thread title should really be "post movie posters done in a horny/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s"

an abundant sub-genre, for sure

In the retro pile: CBS going for this aesthetic in promo images for their police sitcom "No Activity":

You're A Big Boy Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1966)

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 14:57 (four years ago) link

til that there's an American remake of No Activity starring Jesse Plemons, Jason Mantzoukas, Cristin Milioti, Bob Odenkirk, Amy Sedaris, Chris Gethard, JK Simmons and Joe Mangianello, that still stars the Australian lead and is still entirely directed and substantially written by the Australian writer/director
