While perusing the IMP, I came across a new release this weekend called The Mighty Macs — and I can hear the pitch now: “Sister Act meets Hoosiers…It’s a slam dunk!”

Birds of A Different Feather…
In honor of the upcoming Edgar Allen Poe-inspired The Raven, here’s a few more movie poster birds to gawk at, including The Birds by French artist, Boris Grinsson, as well as the Saul Bass masterpiece, The Birdman of Alcatraz (middle, in orange).
More Marilyn!
Judging from the trailer, it looks like Marilyn Monroe is getting the Notting Hill treatment in the new movie, My Week With Marilyn.
Oh yeah, and check out the new flip-throughable MM book by photographer Bert Stern (and Norman Mailer) from Taschen!
Bored and Repulsed?
Enzo Nistri seems a little bored while Roman Polanski presents the art of Repulsion.
Gorka Park
The work of Wiktor Gorka (1922-2004), the pride of many Polish movie poster fans, is not to be messed with. Serving up Westerns as well as many other Hollywood and foreign cinema classics, including Moby Dick, The Professionals, and 2001: Space Odyssey, he gave us a picnic for the eyes right between the eyes…
Jagged Edges…
The new Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher one-sheet for the upcoming biopic, The Iron Lady, looks like it was ripped off the pages of late 20th Century movie poster history…
Scary Good New Posters…or Just Scary?
And if you mixed all these one-sheets together into a scary movie poster potluck, you might get this early 90’s classic…(ImpAwards)
Real Men Wear Black!
Is Sean Penn’s new one-sheet for This Must Be The Place an homage to the 1968 Italian film poster for The Bride Wore Black (by Ferracci)? (ImpAwards and EatBrie)
Of course, don’t confuse these titles with this Chuck Norris fashionable-action classic…
The Essence of Cesselon
Following his higher calling in movie posters, it’s no wonder that Italian illustrator, Angelo Cesselon, later moved onto drawing portraits of saints and other religious paintings for churches since looking at his beautiful work can be somewhat of a religious experience.
I’m not sure if he was repenting for all of his past pretty Marilyn Monroe depictions — regardless, his many artful creations are for the ages. (via Dominique Besson)
