*Update*

Make it 80

2007 - No Country For Old Men

It’s an interesting collection. Some great movies with forgettable posters. Some great posters with forgettable movies. And even some great movies with great posters. Poster-wise, my favorites are probably the ones for All Quiet on the Western Front, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Gigi, The Godfather, Amadeus, Silence of the Lambs and Schindler’s List. But there are others that I really like and my list would probably differ from day to day. But what are your favorites?

  Hi,
  This is a cool site to show all the Academy Award Best Pictures in posters. Although I have mixed feelings, I think I would like to purchase a copy, (as shown at the movie houses)of some of the orignal movies. If I do wish to do this, I’m have not investaged as to where the best place is to purchase them for price and quality.
  Thanks
