EtD would've been in my post if Sam had not already posted it, and I was gonna include Blade Runner, but decided to leave it for the next guy to post :D

I do hate that Amelie poster though :P

The Amelie poster is great, obviously ETD, Jaws and Blade Runner are too. Which ones are your Hung? The ones without English names.

I'm not sure if Amelie looks sweet or sinister?

Used to have that Blade Runner poster on a T-shirt.

That kick ass duracell bunny with a tattoo is of course Reiko Oshida in Delinquent Girl Boss: Tokyo Drifters (1970)

The black and green poster with gunman is Shokei yugi (1979) with the coolest late 70's / early 80's actor; Yusaku Matsuda. I haven't seen the film yet, but I will buy it once Toei's low priced batch is out.

The butterfly poster is Miike's decently interesting but highly over-rated and pretentious Big Bang Love - Juvenile A.

Wish more companies would use the original movie poster art for their home video releases rather than the generetic crap we get on a lot of releases :mad:

Me too. It's virtually always so much better, especially the 80s ones.

Isnt the Amelie DVD art similar to the poster?
The Star Wars reissues had art "based" on the old cinema posters.
