A stylized poster featuring Michael Fassbender (as Carl Jung), Keira Knightley (as Sabina Spielrein), and Viggo Mortensen (as Sigmund Freud). Their faces are dramatically lit, with the central figure of Knightley torn down the middle, visually separating Jung on the left and Freud on the right. The text reads: “Based on the true story of Jung, Freud and the patient who came between them.”
A Dangerous Method (2011)
A stark black-and-white poster with a wire fence background shows Jack Nicholson gazing upward with a slight grin. The bold title “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” appears above in stylized black lettering, with a red drawing of a lock hanging below the word “Cuckoo’s.”
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
Movie poster for The Santa Clause featuring Tim Allen’s face inside a snow globe, looking surprised with a white beard and Santa hat. A child holds the globe and looks at it wide-eyed. The tagline reads, “This Christmas, the snow hits the fan.”
The Santa Clause (1994)
Poster for Temple Grandin featuring Claire Danes smiling in a cream-colored Western-style shirt adorned with cattle pins and embroidered stars. The background is a golden tan with red schematic designs. The tagline reads, “Autism gave her a vision. She gave it a voice.”
Temple Grandin (2010)
Poster for Born on the Fourth of July featuring Tom Cruise’s face overlaid with the American flag. The tagline at the top reads, “A true story of innocence lost and courage found.” The film’s title and Cruise’s name are stylized with stars and stripes, reinforcing the themes of patriotism and personal struggle.
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Poster for But I’m a Cheerleader, featuring Natasha Lyonne front and center in a bright pink dress and long pink gloves, looking uncertain and expressionless against a surreal blue-sky background. Around her, multiple cheerleaders in red uniforms float or tumble mid-air in exaggerated poses. The title is in bold green letters, tilted playfully: “But I’m a Cheerleader.” A tagline at the bottom reads: “A Comedy of Sexual Disorientation.” The poster also notes the film’s selection at Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals.
But I’m a Cheerleader (1999)
Poster for What About Bob? featuring cartoonish, oversized silhouettes of Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss playfully tugging at each other. Below the silhouettes, the live-action characters shake hands awkwardly—Bill Murray in casual blue athletic wear and Richard Dreyfuss in a suit. The tagline reads: “Bob’s a special kind of friend. The kind that drives you crazy.” The film’s title is displayed in bold red letters, emphasizing the comedic and offbeat tone.
What About Bob? (1991)
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 Hours featuring three women: Meryl Streep with glasses and a shawl holding a bouquet of roses, Julianne Moore with curled red hair and a green dress, and Nicole Kidman with a somber expression, wearing muted colors and a delicate necklace. Their portraits are tightly framed, visually linked yet emotionally distinct, hinting at different time periods. The tagline and credits are minimal, emphasizing the actors’ names and the film’s contemplative tone.
The Hours (2002)
Poster for Unsane featuring Claire Foy’s face layered with a translucent second image of herself, evoking confusion and psychological instability. The image is mirrored vertically, and the tagline “Is she or isn’t she?” reinforces the film’s theme of paranoia and unreliable perception. The text appears both right-side up and upside-down, heightening the sense of disorientation.
Unsane (2018)
Poster for The Rocky Horror Picture Show featuring Tim Curry in costume as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, reclining on oversized red lips against a black background. The film’s dripping red title font and the tagline “Give Yourself Over to Absolute Pleasure” evoke its bold, campy, and transgressive cult-classic style.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Poster for Rain Man featuring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise walking down a tree-lined road. Hoffman wears a beige jacket and looks contemplative, while Cruise, in sunglasses and a black blazer, carries a leather bag. The image captures the film’s journey motif and emotional tone of connection and discovery.
Rain Man (1988)
