30 Best ’90s Movie Posters

Cats, dogs and ominous shadows...

Fargo (1996)

Representative Of The Film? The Coen Brothers’ film is a murder mystery marvel that cleverly pairs a police procedural with a homespun heroine whom everybody underestimates. The poster’s a warm send-up of that twee nod-wink.

Coolest Detail: It’s a scene from the film re-created in cross-stitching – low-tech cool.

      I always liked that Rocketeer poster. The film never did much for me but that poster is cool as f**k.

      Yo Josh! Do you ever ask for more time on these or does someone just keep telling you to churn them out on a regular basis. Both Jurassic Park and The Matrix were in your greatest science fiction posters ever but were different posters. Make your mind up man!

      I'm glad The Truman Show is on this list, even it's only for posters. The DVD box art's pretty cool too, but I think the poster's better. Also, I really don't like the Batman Returns poster that just has Batman, the Penguin and Catwoman's heads floating over some penguins. Here's MY idea for a Batman Returns poster: A hand drawn poster (similar to those minimalist posters in design) of a bunch of penguins with rockets, looking at Gotham, with the Bat-Signal over the city.

      So many good posters from the 90s like Leon, Hard Boiled, Total Recall (They STOLE his mind? Wtf?) Heat (De Niro! Pacino! Together!) and mention of Se7en just for ripping off an Iron Maiden lyric..(7 deadly sins, 7 ways to win...sorry ..die!)

      Should have used the Matrix poster which was code and nothing else.

      The women forming a skull in Silence of the Lambs is taken from (or ripped from) a Salvador Dali painting. It was also used in Descent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dali_women_skull.jpg
