My favorite is the one for “Cabaret”:

I’ve posted a couple others, such as ones for “The Muppet Movie” and “Rosemary’s Baby” that you already mentioned.

Another one I like is “Superman III”, which goes along with what you said: “Hated the movie, LOVE the Polish movie poster”.

i HATE dvd cover art. i hated it when it was vhs and i hate it still. a few weeks ago i decided to go through my database program and replace all the dvd cover art with the original movie posters (i found a great site at http://www.moviepostersdb.com) and i found that SHINING poster and it was so frickin weird i just loved it. i usually use the american art (since it was what i grew up with) but i kept that one and the one for ROSEMARY’S BABY.

man, i hate photoshop.

I stopped collecting movie posters years ago because of the expense, storage and not enough places to hang them. And now you’ve got me wanting to collect Polish film posters, damn you!

Hey, $140 isn’t all that bad, considering some posters there sell for over $1,000. What’s nice about http://www.PolishPoster.com is that there’s something in almost everyone’s price range. Except maybe the Scottish. You know how cheap they are.

If I had to pick a favorite Polish poster, I think it would be Andrzej Pagowski’s poster for William Friedkin’s Sorcerer. Unfortunately, the price listed for it at PolishPoster.com is about $140.

There are so many great Polish posters floating around out there and I actually forgot the one that inspired this post in the first place… Wieslaw Walkuski’s haunting 1984 poster for ROSEMARY’S BABY, which you showcased on your blog back in January of this year. New or old, these posters remind me of why the movies have such a hold on us, something about which the makers of new American poster art are entirely in the dark.

Hey there. Thanks for the plug! I’ve shown a few of these over at SHOOT THE PROJECTIONIST. I steer clear of highlighting the posters that are recent creations intended to capitalize on the vogue for cool poster art, so it was nice to see a few of those mixed in here. Not to say I don’t love them–that STAR WARS one is great, and the fact that it was painted only a few years ago accounts for some of the wonderful “fan art” quality you mentioned.
