Oh, I love these, especially Die Hard. But they do all remind me of the posters for Dr. Strangelove…

I don’t see good posters requiring the viewing of the film (Hey, how about the falling froggies the Magnolia One-Sheet), I just like good simple designs, and all of these have it. The fact that they resonate after the film is a plus in my book. (Not a Minus)

Yeah that’s my problem with these, they only work if you’ve already seen the movie.

Notice the broken glass. It infers a guy running around without shoes… and broken glass.
I think it’s pretty obvious – if you’ve seen the movie.

How is it somebody without shoes on? All I see is a pair of shoes.

Though I REALLY like the Deer Hunter one too.

Exactly. That’s why it’s my favorite one.

Ah right. When he’s running through the shattered glass with no shoes on, machine gunning the bad guys. Gotcha’

That’s actually really clever the way they’ve designed that.

Its the broken shards of glass and someone without any shoes on.

Kurt, that’s what I got from the Die Hard one. Is that what it’s supposed to signify? If not, I don’t get it…

The American History X is bloody awesome typeface/design with the X and the Swastika.

I love the die-hard one, because it makes me think ‘fists with your toes!’
