Here's an interview, with loads of great art, by the guy who painted one of the Silencers posters, and one of the Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo posters.
One fun oddity is that he was commissioned to do a new, action-packed Raiders Of The Lost Ark poster while the UK original was up all over the country, because that was deemed to be too dull

And this seems-to-be-unused poster for The Apple (1980), under the title Star Rock:
https://i.imgur.com/bUafZU1.jpg
Original art and roughs for some 80s Bond posters in there, too.
His busy-ish caricature poster for The Castle (1997) does to the photographic Australian original what the pullquote says the film does to an Oscar-winner.

The 1986 John Cleese vehicle Clockwise has an absolutely terrible poster, proposing that a huge image of a soggy, naked Cleese is all that's needed to get punters into cinemas around the globe.
Imagine if one of these pieces of concept art had been commissioned and finished, though:

I feel like a lot of the "retro" ones don't have enough stupid bullshit for the characters to be doing, or don't give enough visual room for it somehow. In the old ones it's like Where's Waldo --- if you were standing in line outside the theater staring at one, you could have really kept yourself occupied for a few minutes. Points for including a banner-flying biplane, though.
