Anybody spend an inordinate time looking at the type on Movie Posters? Video store, theater. Anbody go see movies?

I've seen some amazing type treatments lately, yet still, way too much Impact and Trajan.

Anybody know of some good archives of old Movie Posters? New ones?

two right away are movieposters.com and allposters.com.

Anybody have any good stories about movie logotype creation or funny usage examples ?e.g. Scarface = Palatino.

Post some stuff here. I'm going to note some good and poor examples that I see on my next visit to the video store.


This movie isn't out yet, but here's an example of a great opportunity missed, or maybe an inentional movie poster non-sequitir?

The treatment didn't work for me.
