The Best and Worst Movie Posters of 2008

By STV on December 30, 2008 at 8:02 AM

While film critics’ Top 10 lists pile up around the Web, our own review of 2008 must start where any true movie interest starts: The posters.

We scoured hundreds of one-sheets, banners, international posters and other materials for the handful that provoke, move, repel and entrance — sometimes all at once. Your mileage may vary, and a few notable omissions will have to wait a year for revisiting. But find below what we hope will inspire more studios and designers — for better or worse — to an improved 2009.

    Everytime I see that poster for Chapter 27 I think Jared Leto is portraying a Garbage Pail Kid.
