They don't make movie posters like they used to. Seriously, movie artwork in the 20th century used often evocative and iconic designs which looked great on college dorm walls. These days though, movie poster design is often a victim of too many approvals, overthought market research, and far too much Photoshop.

I don't know when I last saw a movie poster that was genuinely cool.

My uncle's house used to be filled with cool movie posters in the 80s and 90s. I used to love looking at them. He got them from the local video shop iirc.

Yes the old posters were great. The current ones all seem the same.
