#19.  I've always liked the poster for "Streets of Fire:"

[Raffine]

Believe it or not, some of the coolest posters come from Poland.

Here's a few of their takes on famous American films:

THE FLY


STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE


RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK


THE SHINING


I particularly like how RAIDERS appears to be some sort of Lovecraftian nightmare.


Here's a link to a site with images lots of these posters. I was gonna post the one for ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES but it's quite pornographic - especially for a film that was rated G!

If you have a few hundred bucks to spare you can even buy a few!

Though I do agree with Raffine that Poland makes some amazing art posters, as posted in the rules of the thread only his first submission can be accepted. If Raff or anybody else wants to nominate some of those posters themselves one-at-a-time though that's more than cool. As such, the Polish poster for The Fly is No.20 and Master's Metropolis poster is No.21.

With that settled...

No.22 - Godzilla Vs. the Thing - I dropped a little too much money on an original print of this beauty a few years ago, but don't regret it. This was a great promotional poster made up when the identity of Godzilla's next opponent (Mothra) had yet to be revealed. Personally, I'd like to see a movie where Godzilla actually fights a giant question mark, but somehow I don't see that happening...

23. THE MUMMY (1932) 

[Raffine]

Though I do agree with Raffine that Poland makes some amazing art posters, as posted in the rules of the thread only his first submission can be accepted. If Raff or anybody else wants to nominate some of those posters themselves one-at-a-time though that's more than cool. As such, the Polish poster for The Fly is No.20 and Master's Metropolis poster is No.21.

Sorry I didn't explain - I didn't intend these to be in the official count. Just some interesting examples of some 'alternate posters'.

So METROPOLIS is #20 by my count! 

[AnubisVonMojo]

Okay, since Raff's submissions weren't actually submissions I'll drop The Fly and Metropolis will be No.20, Godzilla Vs. the Thing is now No.21, and The Mummy is No.22... So says Ape law!

[Raffine]

So says Ape law!

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
-The Lawgiver

Ape shall not kill ape.
-The Lawgiver
