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

Thought maybe you had been bored, googling "Don Knotts", "Death by Asphyxiation".

Opening this thread and seeing Goldblum on the "Thank God It's Friday" poster makes me want to use that as my social media avatar.

the way the mine car appears to be exploding out of an oil derrick that is bursting out of Don Knotts' chest, so good

Kind of offended that red****s isn't auto-replacing with hatcat anymore.

Another image that reminds me of this style

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:
