They certainly didn’t pull any punches in the poster for the film adaptation of one of the most controversial novels of the twentieth century. The poster is actually far more lascivious than the film (which is black-and-white, for starters), which a young Stanley Kubrick delivered as a savvy satire of contemporary American morals. The poster is a fizzy flirtation that hints at the film’s sense of humor while captivating the passerby with those eyes.

40 Unforgettable Movie Posters

Another from maestro Bass, and probably his most celebrated poster design.
And finally, because I can’t resist those heart-shaped glasses…

40 Unforgettable Movie Posters
A bona fide classic from Saul Bass – and, oddly, one of the things often credited for Vertigo‘s utter failure at the box office. Too “arty”? Hell no. This nightmarish image perfectly captures several of the film’s central themes and motifs (obsession, following, spirals, madness) and looks gorgeous, to boot. It’s too bad it, like the film, was ahead of its time. Bonus: It features three of the awesomest words in the English language: “Barbara Bel Geddes.”

Why do they not paint posters like this anymore?! It’s amazing. When I was a kid, EVERYONE wanted to see Gremlins because of this poster, which gives away just enough and left everyone wanting more.

First off, if you have not seen The Fan, PLEASE do yourself a favor and track it down. It is UTTERLY INSANE. And the poster art – in which Michael Biehn‘s tuxedo lapel transforms into a dagger stabbing into Lauren Bacall (at least I think that’s supposed to be her…) – is pretty awesome.

The Asian-inspired artwork makes this one a standout. Love how Done Fadeaway’s Faye Dunaway‘s eyes seem to just manifest out of that smoke.
Speaking of Faye Dunaway’s eyes…

That is a seriously bad ass poster. The nails (claws?), tearing paper (flesh?) and lip-glossed scream are like a high-fashion editorial gone totally cuckoobananas wrong. Iconic and awesome.

40 Unforgettable Movie Posters
From: The Backlot
Deliciously graphic, and hugely cutting-edge poster for the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange (notice how he incorporates the “A” into the image?). Although I can’t imagine that today any studio would let the word “rape” onto a movie poster!
Kind of hard to believe that the same guy who did this also delivered the next classic:

That’s a lot of information to fit onto one poster, but it tells us exactly what we need to know. Perfection.

Love the old-timey illustration and the playful turn on “whodunit”. If you've seen Deathtrap (and if you haven’t, you absolutely should, for many reasons I won’t get into), you know that this poster – from movie poster master Bill Gold – captures the spirit of the film perfectly.
Speaking of whodunnits…

Do you think people went to see The Stepford Wives expecting that all of the ladies would be made of fine porcelain? Such a brilliant image, made all the more powerful by the hopeless look on Katharine Ross‘s face…
And speaking of Ira Levin…

This poster is the only to make the list because it is so, so, so wrong – uh, rapey much? Yes, in this film Julie Christie is raped and impregnated by her home security system. Good of them to make such a disgusting premise look so damned sexy, eh? BARF.

Classic, handsome, and dangerous, this is the pose that launched a thousand Abercrombies. (And who the hell is he pointing at?)

This poster is, strictly aesthetically speaking, hideous. But a closer look reveals that under Raquel Welch‘s prancing pony-legs stand Mae West, Rex Reed, and Hollywood titan John Huston. That’s enough for me.
