Popular movie poster cliches (16 images)
You’ve probably noticed these popular movie poster cliches before, but never noticed that you noticed. I know that was the case for me. This probably falls into the category of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ – but when they’re all presented together like this it just seems a bit lazy.
As someone who loves movie covers and posters, it’s an interesting idea. I couldn’t help but thinking of these when I was at the Redbox tonight, trying to decide which movie I wanted. My eyes were certainly drawn to movies whose covers followed these principles.
Miraculously, none of them specifically involve breasts.
