Crafty Cowboys Get Craftsy

From Richard Amsel (The Shootist, McCabe and Mrs. Miller) and Ron Lesser (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) comes this badass foursome of 70s western movie posters that could just as easily fit into any of today’s hipster general stores…

Drive Hard!

Ryan Gosling appears to be doing his best Steve McQueen in this weekend’s high-testosterone octane release, Drive.

Btw, here’s a few other scenic drives, including the classic Taxi Driver one-sheet, which features the graphic stylings of Guy Peellaert)…

Fritz Lang’s 1927 sci-fi classic, Metropolis, could hardly be more timely now with today’s troubling economy pitting wealthy owners versus the working class.

And with the ten-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this weekend, I thought it fitting to commemorate the work of Russian-born costume designer — yes, I said, costume designer — Boris Bilinsky (not to be confused with that other Belinsky), who also apparently dabbled in designing movie posters as seen below by these one-sheet architectural marvels that he constructed way back in the roaring 20s.

NyT Mag profiled screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, the rom-com momma of Hollywood — and if these one-sheets are any indication, it appears that women love the font! (posters via ImpAwards)

Such Good Legs!

Wanna see a two-legged movie poster race featuring Such Good Friends (compliments of design guru, Saul Bass) and a 1980’s Charlotte Rampling movie called Mascara? (via IMPAwards)
