The Sin of Nora Moran
No. 1 Greatest Hollywood Movie Posters If I had to pick one poster as the greatest of all time, it would have to be this gorgeous "Varga Girl" image from an obscure 1934 film. This is a perfect example of poster art.
American Beauty

Pulp Fiction
No. 3 Greatest Hollywood Movie Posters Perhaps this could be considered the best poster of all time. The classic film noir femme fatale image. The 10ยข label adds a great touch. The bold colors.

Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, etc. Release Date: 23rd September, 1994

Die Another Day
No. 5 Greatest Hollywood Movie Posters This is one of the coolest teaser images ever. The red hot smoking barrel of James Bond's gun melting the ice. Superb shot!

Lord of War
No. 6 Greatest Hollywood Movie Posters It may be hard to see in this smaller version, but the bullets that make up the image of Nic Cage are a sublime touch. This is a very inventive design.

Jaws
No. 8 Greatest Hollywood Movie Posters This may be the most famous poster of all time... and it isn't even a shot from the film itself. This hand-drawn design is simply brilliant.
