This weekend marks the 75th Anniversary of the great Golden Gate Bridge — so here’s a movie poster tribute to one of America’s most beautiful landmarks. That said, the glorious International Orange-painted bridge has dealt with its share of troubled waters over the years as 11 men were killed during its original construction — and it was also reported to be America’s #1 suicide destination in The New Yorker, which also inspired the compelling, but controversial documentary, The Bridge.
Regardless of its tragic history though, this iconic monument of early 20th Century manpower is still a stunner — happy birthday, Golden Gate!

Will there be blood or frogs raining down from the sky — or perhaps male prosthetics involved? Lord only knows, but you can bet that Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of such contemporary classics as There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, and Boogie Nights, will be up to something original with his latest film, The Master.
Everybody’s talking about the latest re-teaming of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp for their new horror-comedy, Dark Shadows — but what’s also notable about the production is that it marks the big budget return of 90′s screen siren, Michelle Pfeiffer, whose beautiful features and dramatic skills dominated movie screens for years. However, with Shadows, I’m sure her dark side will come out! (IMP)
Check out these one-sheets for Terry Gilliam’sAdventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) as well as the fantastic French 2-panel from the 1944 version via Heritage…
No matter where in the world you were this weekend, hopefully you had a chance to check out the supermoon. And nobody liked to go full moon on their movie posters more than Steven Spielberg and ’80s poster design legend, John Alvin!
