TCCANDLER.com -- The 100 Best Movie Posters of All Time: "A great movie poster is a hard thing to find. Most posters are cut and paste jobs that don't sell the movie very well at all. A great poster should intrigue, shock, inspire & excite. It should be aesthetically beautiful or original. Above all, it should be so memorable that a single glance will be instantly recognizable."

I love movie posters and have a few, though not really memorable according to the specs of that article. One thing I've got that isn't a poster per se is a 16x20 framed black and white of Clint Eastwood as Josie Wales. I gave it to my hubby years ago because Josie Wales is his favorite movie. Funny thing is, every woman that has ever seen it has said: "If you want to get rid of that, I'd like to have it."
I like that movie a lot. I'm probably not as fond of the poster as your friends, but it's a good one, all right.
I'm fond of the poster for THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, and its tagline, "For three men, the Civil War wasn't hell ... it was practice."
"100 greatest"?
They gottabe woofin' us.
As usual.
Some goodies, some ho-hums. Seems to be a dearth of westerns--if there were any. Hardly any skiffy, either.
