Still amazed that you've got Metropolis at 48, with Cleopatra Jones beating it, but I admire the dedication of putting such a list together. Hey Glenn, to each his own, I say.

That's what, I think, makes my list better than the regular ol' sort list like the AFI. I doubt you'll find a list with the unbridled romance that the "Moonstruck" poster has or the americana celebration of the "Woodstock" poster on them. Alas, it's my own list so of course I'm going to defend it. :) I'm glad most people got enjoyment out of (grumpy notwithstanding, obviously) :p To defend myself here (thanks for the shoutout, Gus) I’m not a fan of the cram-everything-onto-the-poster aesthetic that the Star Wars and Indy posters have (and non Struzan designs like LOTR).

Seriously? Not a lot of Drew Struzan representation (was Star Wars Ep. 1 even Struzan?) And I can't see how nearly any of the top 10 could be that beloved, even by "some guy."
