99 Classic 80′s Movie Poster Designs
I absolutely love movies and I’d say that most of my favourite motion pictures all stem from from one particular decade – the 1980′s. There where some awesome movies made between 1980 – 89 such as the classic ‘Empire Strikes Back’, ‘Scarface’, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ and ‘Back to the Future’ although you may not agree. The movies in 80′s like the decades that preceeded used a lot of hand-drawn artwork for the poster designs where as today movie companies and design studios would favour using photo manipulations instead.
Here is a huge collection of some classic movies and their poster designs and I’m sure there are quite a few movies that bring back memories for you.
