    Okay, a tough one to start with. Jaws is by far the better movie, but I was determined to vote based on the poster not the movie. Jaws does have a great poster for sure, but the contrast of the black and white in Scarface makes me go for that one as my vote.


    PS: @Omackeral it may be worth dropping a quick PM to anyone who entered a nomination to tell them this is happening now. They may not be checking Boards as often since the change and not know.

    @quickbeam You're probably right. So What I'll so is fire off a few PM's and kick this thing off properly tonight, give people a chance. I'll count your vote and Dave's and we'll give Jaws vs Scarface a bit of overtime. @Necro any chance of updating the Ultimate Tournament Sticky in After Hours please? Thanks.

    Jaws ; a much more iconic movie poster regardless of whether you've seen the film or not, even little kids know what it is...

    2 classics here, love both but I think Jaws has a slight edge here so I'll vote for that

    Sorry Mack we went out to lunch - would have voted Jaws - it just speaks of the menace to come.

    In case you haven't seen it, there's a thread of who made it through re-entry. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058200488/so-who-made-it-back-here-after-the-site-change/p1

    Jaws for me too

    Just brilliant, such a simple image but it gives such an idea of the film. Iconic

    I've not seen The Joker, and I love The Iron Giant, but just aesthetically I prefer the poster for The Joker here.

    Metropolis ; I've not seen it, never actually checked to see what its about, but I've always loved the poster, so must actually go about watching the film itself one of these days

    Metropolis please. Exorcist is iconic I admit but the artwork of the metropolis poster is stunning.

    Metropolis (1927)

    For a poster from the 1920s it is very impressive, i have always been a fan of this poster

    The Exorcist (1973)

    The light shining down from the window and creating the silhouette, means you just know that there is going to be something eerie about it

    Metropolis here. That still from The Exorcist is brilliant and if it took up more of the poster I might have gone for it but the purpley bits take away from it.

    Apocalypse Now - pretty much hated the film but it’s a great poster.
