Mentioned six years ago, but not posted - The Long Goodbye (1973) by Jack Davis:

which was commissioned to replace the original poster(s) by Altman's preferred artist Richard Amsel, after the studio figured the odd tone of the movie needed to be signalled.

The perspective and utter lack of grip in that helicopter poster are really getting me rn

i just love the blasé look on their faces as they dangle from the copter

Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Monday, 27 July 2020 14:46 (five years ago)

if you think that poster's bad, the helicopter scene itself is measurably less thrilling.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 27 July 2020 17:40 (five years ago)

lol "Party Camp," by that point there was just a machine generating titles, posters and movies.

Improper Channels, 1981

A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 8 September 2020 17:54 (five years ago)

We've had that one, because I remember posting the very incongruous to that artwork plot summary from IMDB:

Improper Channels (1981)

A father brings a young child to an emergency room to get treatment for a minor injury occurring in an innocent accident, but he gets accused of child abuse. Child welfare agencies commit grossly unfair over-reactions to remove the child forcibly from the Father (Arkin), who must brave the arcane system to reclaim his daughter.
