From the beginning, studios and filmmakers understood that the key to building anticipation for a film were the visuals associated with it. And since trailers hadn't yet been invented, silent era studios turned to the movie poster. Since then, movies and their posters (both good and bad) have been in inextricably linked. In fact, it's almost impossible to think about some films without also thinking about their posters. But what's the difference between a poster that makes you stop in a theater lobby to examine it further and one that you pass by? What makes a movie poster stand out? And can a poster actually make you look forward to a film's release? Likewise, can a poster turn you off to seeing a film? Finally, do you have a favorite movie poster?
