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?

(in this tradition, that is)

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

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"

Helluva soundtrack, whatever the hell that is.

I hope Thomas Dolby and the Beach Boys were on the same song.

do we need a thread for awesome movie taglines (that are real)

Yes. Yes we do.

By his usual standards, Finders Keepers looks like Davis drew it while running for a train.

now i'm wondering if it's been posted before. i swear i control-F'ed first, but those roller derby women look familiar.

zillions of posters unsearchable itt because they're not captioned, and loads of those have linkrotted anyway

I keep thinking that last post is the title of a Tortoise record.

oh for sure. maybe in the "california suite" style that really brings out the facial mugging.

Whenever I show someone the movie They All Laughed, I always paraphrase one of Morbs' posts about it: "Watched the first 20 minutes of They All Laughed. I didn't."

Inspector Clouseau (1968)

woah - i knew they went so far as to stitch together a Clouseau film from old Sellers footage after he died, but somehow never knew they'd attempted to crank one out without him while he was busy filming something else. explains why the next one had the otherwise nonsensical title The Return of the Pink Panther, with the PP label sticking to the remaining films.

here's a few i've saved up on my phone recently...

C.H.O.M.P.S. (1979)

they'd attempted to crank one out without him while he was busy filming something else

Not only without Sellers, but without the creator/writer/director of the others, and the guy that did the music for the others

All three were otherwise engaged making some racist-ass nonsense elsewhere

Racist-Ass Nonsense (1968)

guessing that Davis was also busy at first, hence the one with the redder elephant, and then became available later in the promo cycle. The red elephant one is a better representation of the film though (and probably exists in a 'widescreen' version, given the door framing)

btw C.H.O.M.P.S was totally something I was aware of in pop culture for a moment - maybe from video box covers or ads for TV screenings - and had completely forgotten about. seeing that it was a Zarkoff/Barbera collab is a pretty spectacular way to be reminded of its existence!

lolol

Barbera recalled that Arkoff's son Louis suggested that rather than a Doberman, the dog would have to be a non-threatening dog in the Benji mold. Barbera attributes this change in focus in the story to the film's lackluster performance at the box office. In his autobiography, Barbera wrote that the film "did okay... but it never made the splash it should have." Because of this, the future film deals between Hanna-Barbera and AIP were canceled.

Also from wikipedia, it was originally released as a PG film in American summer, then edited for dog profanity and reissued as a G at Christmas.

RIP Sue Lyon

Towing, 1978

― a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, December 29, 2019 2:11 AM bookmarkflaglink

watched this last week, as there's an iffy transfer on Amazon Prime right now. it's all right actually! you do feel the different touch of a female director, doing a local Chicago based-on-a-true-story caper. the sound mix is sort of staggeringly awful in places and i really wasn't following the plot a lot of the time but there's kind of a nice hangout vibe to it imho. a passable way to spend 85 minutes. Ebert gave it a low star rating but a decent review.

Ronnie Corbett has something of a headstart on the others for recognisability in chibi form

steam-engine time: we managed to have two chibi Corbetts in one month itt

RIP Sean Connery

The Man From Clover Grove, 1975

Wow, the Dove Foundation certainly loved that movie

synopsis from imdb

A poor farmer is always inventing things. A lot of them don't work, but the toys he makes brings joy to the children at the local orphanage. It is a very good movie.

man that looks bad. Glad they still found a way to work in a dodge charger police chase even though it's about an inventor bringing toys that don't work to an orphanage

trivia

The movie's closing credits dedication read: "This picture is dedicated to the forgotten children in our world".

#saveourforgottenchildren

why is that nun driving a tractor full of screaming women away from a burning building

you want her to drive towards it??
