Boardsies Decide - Best Movie Poster

Gremlins, the cute one hiding in the dark, a great mix of the good and bad that they are!

Sawduck · 01-08-2021 9:29pm

Gremlins (1984)

Classic 80s movie poster

Purgative · 01-08-2021 9:32pm

Gremlins - there's just more to it

Trigger · 01-08-2021 9:35pm

Gremlins, the little grab of the hand makes it for me, like when a newborn grabs your hand for the first time

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 01-08-2021 9:36pm

Gremlins ; Gizmo hidden in the shadow of the box adds a great air of mystery

Omackeral · 01-08-2021 9:42pm

Gremlins win this one fairly convincingly

Omackeral · 01-08-2021 9:45pm

Round 1

Pretty Woman (1990)

VS

Mean Girls (2004)

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 01-08-2021 9:48pm

Mean Girls ; two very similar posters stylistically, but overall I prefer the pink on purple colour palette going with the Mean Girls poster

cee_jay · 01-08-2021 9:50pm

Pretty Woman, mainly for how amazing Julia Roberts looks in those boots.

ari101 · 01-08-2021 9:58pm

Pretty Woman - I love that ~~movie~~ poster *cough ;)

Omackeral · 01-08-2021 10:07pm

Woman bests Girl. Pretty Woman goes into Round 2.

I'll run one last match for the night...

Omackeral · 01-08-2021 10:08pm

Round 1

Chinatown (1974)

VS

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Electric Nitwit · 01-08-2021 10:12pm

Silence of the lambs, it's just brilliant

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 01-08-2021 10:12pm

The Silence of the Lambs ; it stands out as intriguing and eye-catching, makes you want to know more about the film

JP Liz V1 · 01-08-2021 10:20pm

Pretty Woman

Gremlins

The Silence of the Lambs

KathleenGrant · 01-08-2021 10:23pm

The Silence of The Lambs

cee_jay · 01-08-2021 11:16pm

Silence of the lambs

Omackeral · 01-08-2021 11:57pm

Chinatown is silenced as Hannibal and Clarice go through. Join us again tomorrow for some more first round matches, the first of which features an iconic movie.

AVFC.Stephen · 02-08-2021 1:58pm

We go live again at 11:30AM folks

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 10:30am

Round 1

The Godfather (1972)

VS

Walk the Line (2005)

AVFC.Stephen · 03-08-2021 10:40am

Walk the line. The godfather film might be known as very good but the poster is nothing special. Walk the line isnt either but better than the other

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 03-08-2021 10:43am

Walk The Line ; its meh, but always foind The Godfather poster to be bland.

Purgative · 03-08-2021 10:48am

I agree, if ou didn't know the film the Godfather poster is meh, whereas Walk the Line piques my interest

Electric Nitwit · 03-08-2021 10:49am

The Godfather

Show someone the cropped image of the puppet controls (they must have a proper name, mustn't they?) and they know what it is

That said, I nominated it and thought it was the poster with Brando on

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 10:52am

Wow, I didn't see that coming. Godfather is out! Walk the Line advances.

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 10:55am

Round 1

The Deer Hunter (1978)

VS

Idiocracy (2006)

Purgative · 03-08-2021 11:02am

Deerhunter, powerful image, gives a clue what's to come

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 03-08-2021 11:14am

Deer Hunter ; idiocracy is a great movie though

Electric Nitwit · 03-08-2021 11:19am

Yeah, the deerhunter is a great poster

My only criticism is that, like The Shining, the film is too defined by that scene whereas there's a lot more to it

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 11:23am

Deerhunter sends Idiocracy the way of Bambi

You had that quip prepared didn't you

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 11:25am

Round 1

The Rocketeer (1991)

VS

Jurassic Park (1993)

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 11:26am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117699108#Comment_117699108

I did not 😋

ChannelNo5 · 03-08-2021 11:28am

The Rocketeer. An amazing piece of artwork.

Sawduck · 03-08-2021 11:31am

The Rocketeer

A beautiful and unique poster, never seen the movie but the poster has always impressed me

breezy1985 · 03-08-2021 11:39am

Jurassic Park.

Such a simple picture but it's so iconic. Just seeing something written in similar font and I can here the "Doo Doo do do do" theme tune in the back of my head.

Rocketeer is nice art but basically a redo of a common period art style and could easily be a Metropolis poster

Edit: Idiocracy is one of the great hidden gems and seems to get more relevant as the days go on. Go see it if you haven't already

davetherave · 03-08-2021 11:45am

Jurrasic Park. Very simple, but straight to the point

breezy1985 · 03-08-2021 11:46am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117699208#Comment_117699208

And apparently it took a long time to make 😀

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 03-08-2021 11:46am

The Rocketeer

It was 2-2 at expiration time. I have selected the best reason above and that's Breezy and their in-depth shout for Jurassic Park.

Omackeral · 03-08-2021 11:52am

Round 1

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

VS

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

breezy1985 · 03-08-2021 11:52am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117699231#Comment_117699231

Finally after all these years my opinion has finally swayed something

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 03-08-2021 11:55am

Little Miss Sunshine ; Yellow is my favourite colour, so the Yellow one wins for me... Simple as that.

Sawduck · 03-08-2021 11:57am

Full Metal Jacket

Pretty cool looking, great movie and it reminds me of the classic PS1 game Hogs of War

Notmything · 03-08-2021 12:09pm

Full metal jacket, perfect for the film.

No idea what the other poster is about

ChannelNo5 · 03-08-2021 12:10pm

Full metal jacket.

AVFC.Stephen · 03-08-2021 12:11pm

Deer hunter

Rocketeer

Full metal jacket
