Official posters have been a huge staple for marketing movies since the medium was first debuted, and their design has attracted great artists from all over the world — designers like Reynold Brown, Saul Bass, Drew Struzan and many more.
But as more and more films gain cult status, designers are embracing not only their favorite movies but television shows as well, in creative and original design work. Whether commissioned by alternative viewing locations like the Alamo Draft House, or just for the love of design and cult classics, these pieces are often produced in short numbers and sell out quick — for big bucks.
So, nerds of the world, unite! Over this collection of epically designed film posters by some of the best illustrators around, celebrating some of the cult-iest classics around. And don’t forget to click on the links underneath, for a specially selected scene of each the movies illustrated 🙂
