sorry, I missed the '70s/'80s part

The Long Goodbye one is in the tradition of this, I guess, or of Mad magazine: (x-post, speaking of!)

Double x-post, yikes!

Are there any posters in the last 15 years that are a throwback to this style?

machete kills has a poster like this.

(in this tradition, that is)

Are there any posters in the last 15 years that are a throwback to this style?

I've never seen that Nashville poster upthread before! Altman's preferred poster artwork ended up on the soundtrack instead:

Came up on my Nashville image search:

Wikipedia's alt text:
A man in a dinner jacket holding a pistol is in the centre of the picture. Various scenes and images surround him, including two women in bikinis, a midget with a pistol, a car stunt and explosions. At the bottom right, oversized and pointing towards the man in the dinner jacket, is a golden gun, with a hand holding a bullet, about to load the gun. The top of the picture has the words "ROGER MOORE as JAMES BOND 007". At the bottom are the words "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN"

Dirty Tricks

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

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.

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)

lots of blaxploitation film posters fit the bill

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.

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!

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:

Here Come the Tigers (1978)

From that rare subgenre of Bad News Bears knockoffs.

http://i65.tinypic.com/xfzprr.jpg

Dragged Across Concrete (2019)

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.

that one is neither busy nor does it contain caricature

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)

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:

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...

Utilities, 1983

This was another poster for the film:

Your Three Minutes Are Up, 1973

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

kind of amazing tarantino has restrained himself from doing this for every single movie

that’s some cast for Combat Academy
