post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

Looking at the imdb trivia for Munster, Go Home, and learned that it's box office failure caused Paramount to cancel a planned Get Smart feature film, the script of which was retooled into a three-part episode.

There was a lot of good trivia related to that, thanks for the tip.

^^Alotta Rob Zombie trivia as a bonus.

Wacky Taxi, 1972

The Blue Bird, 1976

I assume a decline in Bad News Bears series quality matches the decrease in poster busy-ness.

ALL NEW! NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

the van poster is great... bonus points for busyness in the title text.

The title lettering does kinda make you want to watch the movie and use it as a bingo card.

IT'S FOR EVERYONE!

The Daydreamer, 1966

Wow. Jack Gilford and Marget Hamilton made me smile, couldn’t quite place The Pieman until I peeked below.

I just happened to be looking up a film from somewhere upthread called One More Time (directed by Jerry Lewis), and came across this doozy in the plot synopsis:

London nightclub buddies Salt (Sammy Davis Jr.) and Pepper (Peter Lawford) link Pepper’s dead twin to diamond smugglers.

Salt & Pepper is great. We really should have had the intern do a complete audit of Davis seven years ago.

Where The Heart Is, 1990

Arielle Dombasle was in a lot more movies than I thought.

Going back briefly to the film/sitcom discussion upthread, I knew there was something big we'd missed, and while reading something else I realized what it was.

There were 2-TWO!-McHale's Navy feature films made during the series' run.

McHale's Navy Joins The Air Force, 1965

The latter of which happened sans McHale (Ernie Borgnine).

great find.

"The Boss' Wife""s decision to opt against the final S is driving me crazy

Long & Hanks photo is infuriating. get out of the way, clowns!

Great work on recovering McHale, suppressed in your memory as well as public distribution.

The film was released to VHS on March 31, 1998

The Very Sexy Movie With The Very Funny Title, 1968

(A Flea In Her Ear)

i wonder if that title was funnier back then

The play is from 1904 so it had already stood the test of time

It doesn't *look* very sexy?

uh, those hats are doffed af

Rex Harrison and Rachel Roberts, no doubt a car crash of a production.

OMG

Breaking News In Yuba County, 2021

maybe it's the pixels but that looks like a novel combination of techniques/styles --- claustrophobic composition but almost like a 1960s paperback cover aesthetic? like a Tom Swift/Nancy Drew look.

looks more like the 1980s montage style but painted digitally to me
