When I was high school, our media class received from the local movie theater, hundreds of 16MM and 35Mm trailers, (this was back in 1980) and along with all of that, one large movie poster.
... and I mean large! This wasn't your standard pull out of a magazine poster. It was the original theatrical poster for "The Land that Time Forgot". Its probably why I am so gung ho about this movie! I stated up at that old slightly tattered poster for hours, imagining the fantasy of it all.
My personal pick for my all-time favorite poster and the 1978 (or was it 79) re-issue of Star Wars poster. It was quite unique, in that it was painted as if it was on an old wood background, and the poster itself, in the poster, was old and tattered and the illustrative design of the actual poster, (within a poster) was of a 1930's "Buck Rogers styled" Image!
I fell in love with that poster, (it is also, ironically, George Lucas's favorite, probably because Lucas has always been in love with the 1930's serials). Couls someone perhaps put that poster up on this forum? I'm sure you folks will see why it is so cool!
Muchas Gracias to whoever can put it up!!

I remember that one-sheet, Osi.... The one with the slanted lettering, kinda gave the impression of the cover of a comic book, I thought. This was summer of 1979.... I think August. I was still running Star Wars well into the summer of 1978, from the '77 release. That print was well-used, but we managed to keep it, somewhat, scratch-free. We put the film cleaner device on every few weeks.
I collected one-sheets from the early/mid-70's, through the late '80's.... I had several hundred that I had stored. I sold them off in the mid to late '90's. Now I wish I had kept them, looking at the prices the same titles are going for. I had all originals, all majors.

Of course, its reality, but it doesn't seem like thirty years ago that those wonderful films came out. I hate saying it, but I tend to live more in the past than the present. So many lovely times back then. I know that's one of the reasons why I collect Super 8.
I love screening those two scope prints of the original STAR WARS that we grew up on, and Close Encounters. I've even made ther choice that if I was to ever sell off my collection, (that probably will never happen), I would still keep those two features, even if I kept them in a bloody backpack! That's what they mean to me.
The posters hold a special place in the history of Cinema, often portraying the promise of something spectacular, even if what they saw on the screen was far from great.
You even see the changes in art itself in the last hundred years.
Look at the early posters for the silents, for instance. There is very little difference from the vaudville posters that were diplayed about bare wood fences. The fifties and the minimalist explosion that happened in animation and art in general ect. ect.
