Poster for Wicked (2024), showing two main characters—Elphaba, the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West, floating in dark robes and reaching out her hand, and Glinda, the pink-gowned Good Witch with a crown and wand, reaching up. Between them, text reads “Everyone deserves the chance to fly.” The background splits a lush, pink-flowered side with a darker, stormy side, with the Emerald City in the distance and the yellow brick road winding through the center. The title Wicked appears at the bottom above the release date, November 22.

Three men—Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson—stand stacked in profile, each looking through binoculars in the same direction. A bird perches humorously on the binoculars of Martin’s character. The tagline reads “Everyone is searching for something.” The scene is bright and cheerful with a clear blue sky and green forest in the background, reflecting the film’s lighthearted tone.
The Big Year (2011)
A moody, cosmic poster split vertically by a glowing light beam. On the left is Laurence Fishburne’s solemn face, lit with a green-blue hue. On the right, Casey Affleck appears in shadow with a serious, contemplative expression. The tagline running down the center reads, “Some fears are darker than space.” The bottom lists the release date: August 30, and includes the names of the actors and the film title Slingshot.

An illustrated poster shows three characters — a grumpy-looking older man in a sweater vest, a bandaged student with curly hair, and a stern woman holding folded laundry — standing solemnly over a shattered Christmas tree ornament. The broken red glass hints at both holiday chaos and emotional upheaval. The tagline reads “Discomfort And Joy.”
The Holdovers (2023)
A vintage illustrated poster features Ingrid Bergman looking anxiously over her shoulder, with Charles Boyer’s character looming closely behind her, his expression unreadable. Another man, in shadow and top hat, watches intently. The title Gaslight burns bright in red and yellow beneath the tagline: “Strange drama of a captive sweetheart!”
Gaslight (1944)
The illustrated poster for Blade Runner features Harrison Ford’s character Rick Deckard holding a gun, with sweat on his brow and a serious expression. Beside him is Sean Young’s character Rachael, elegantly smoking a cigarette. The background blends futuristic cityscapes, flying cars, and beams of light piercing through darkness. The tagline reads: “Man has made his match… now it’s his problem.” The title is bold in red and white, emphasizing the cyberpunk noir theme.
Blade Runner (1982)
Poster for The Stanford Prison Experiment featuring a chaotic and violent scene where several young men, dressed as prisoners and guards, are engaged in a struggle. One guard appears to punch a prisoner against a wall while others crowd around. The tagline at the bottom reads: “They were given 2 weeks. It lasted 6 days.” The film title is printed boldly in red on a crumpled paper-textured background, and the subtitle notes it is “based on true events.” A quote above the title praises the film’s disturbing realism.
The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015)
Poster for The Shawshank Redemption showing a man (Andy Dufresne) standing in the pouring rain, arms stretched wide and face turned upward in a moment of emotional release and liberation. Warm, dramatic lighting cuts through the storm. Above him is the tagline: “Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.” The title and cast names (Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman) appear at the bottom.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Poster for The Truman Show showing a massive curved digital billboard on a skyscraper with a close-up of Jim Carrey’s character, Truman, smiling in his sleep. Above him, the word “LIVE” glows in red, and below, the day count reads “DAY 10,909.” A huge crowd fills the city square beneath, suggesting that Truman’s life is being broadcast 24/7. The tagline reads: “On the air. Unaware.”
The Truman Show (1998)
Poster for The Lighthouse, presented in stark black and white, featuring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in period sea captain uniforms, flanking a towering lighthouse with ominous seagulls circling overhead. The tagline “Keeping secrets are ye?” sets the eerie tone for this psychological thriller.

Poster for Contagion showing a collage of tense expressions from the ensemble cast, including Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and Gwyneth Paltrow. The tagline “Nothing Spreads Like Fear” is boldly printed above the film title, set against a distressed yellow background evoking urgency and chaos.
