And the question is : How they do it? Incredible.
Very nice..
Gratitude
Seems like “The top 50 movies that I like collection” more.
Really nice, A lot of work has went into some of these posters, Epic skill shown.
Top 3
1. Lord of war is my favorite for difference.
2. JP3 for simplicity.
3. and Lord of the rings as I used to own this poster!
Really nice post cheers.
I think these are some of the best examples of recent movie posters are. I am a collector of vintage movie posters, so I am more into the poster art of the 1920’s-50s. I would make an exception and actually buy some of these original movie posters.
Cool Stuff

These posters are better than the movies that they were made for
Cooool Collections
I know for a fact Shepard Fairey aka Obey did the walk the line poster and he has stated he does not know how to use photoshop or any program along those lines in an article i read on him awhile back. Love the poster thou.
Great work!!!
What a creativity & concept .
Hellboy, lord of war and perfume are superbbb….
dude good work, thanks for nice collection……
yes!! so great…!!! inspirational
Beautiful, never seen the Lord Of War poster before, that one is brilliant, encapsulates the movie perfectly.
Good to see dark Knight at the top, that poster, well it summarizers the movie
All are cool!
but…
37 and 38 catches my attention….Love it!
wOOW…. its verry nice poster…..
well since pirates of the caribeans, fear and loathing in las vegas and probably LOTR are originally hand painted by Drew Struzan, you’re probably wrong about many of those being photoshop designs! specially the older ones!
where is the photoshop ?
show me this posters tutorials
i would show some posters tutorials!!!
are ALL of these photoshopped?
Dig Sweeney Todd… but thats probably because I love the movie! … some of them are very cliched though (not that the Sweeney Todd one is extraordinary)
Love the ‘Batman Begins’ and the ‘Superman Returns’ posters! Both are really striking! Great post! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this is a great collection of poster. I’ve seen most of the movies, but the Lord of the Rings ones are the best in my view.
Thanks for sharing.
I hate the term “photoshopped” It is not a verb. It is an amazing tool that artists use to create great images, but without the artist it’s just a bunch bits and bytes. In fact, I think most artists want to stay away from their work looking “photoshoppped” at all.
Good selection. They all are good, really good, but “Batman…” is without doubt the best, superb.
However, THANK YOU for the “Lord of War” gigantic poster, that’s the reson I’m here, best! =D
