Kosmicheskiy Reys (Cosmic Voyage) (Vasili Zhuravlyov, 1936) - love this poster but love the film more - Kim Newman explains better than I could why...

These are probably my three fave #UniversalHorror films and three wonderfully rich posters for them by Karoly Grosz

I enjoyed The Rocketeer (Joe Johnston, 1991) but definitely loved the poster (by John Mattos) more - I also love the Barry Norman quote on there!
Two posters by the great artist Anselmo Ballester - chosen because they are both considerably better than the films they're promoting - which I guess is what a poster should be to get you in front of the film!
Scirocco (Curtis Bernhardt, 1951)
Cover Girl (Charles Vidor, 1944)

French poster for Shanghai Express (Joseph Von Sternberg, 1932) - I can't make out the artist's name - it's Roger something (any help appreciated) ~ but such a great poster!

Poster for Satyajit Ray's Charulata - I believe this was painted/designed by Ray himself

Saw the bizarre/bonkers silent film Salome with live percussion accompaniment at The Purcell Room back in 2012 ~ this poster for it is rather lovely (and not particularly bizarre or bonkers)

Beautiful poster for the lovely 1945 Ealing Film "Painted Boats" - the painting is by the great British artist John Piper
