I remember as a child looking at all of the vhs movie boxes at the video rental stores, and video rental areas in supermarkets. I think it was those things that really sucked me into movies. I eventually got a job at a video rental store and I often went to look at all of the movie box covers when we weren't busy. There was some fantastic stuff there.

Great vid, I've learned a lot! I'm actually on the tail end of designing two posters for my short film, and without consciously realizing the history of the art they fall neatly into two of the style categories you've highlighted. Excellent! Thanks for all the effort and enriching our community.

You're doing a wonderful job. My personal favourite has to be John Alvin. His posters for "Blade Runner", "Cobra", "Darkman", "Arachnophobia", "Innerspace", "Cape Fear", "Star Trek VI: Th Undiscovered Country", the Disney Renaissance are some of the most pleasing to the eye things I've ever seen.

Thank you very much for uploading this great video about the history of movie posters. I did learn quit a lot.

What a fascinating video. So well researched as usual. The posters that you show from 1913 to 1928 look very similar to book jackets of the same period.

Those Polish Poster are insane!!!

"That's not to say that photography and digital can't create the visual flights of fancy that illustration can. Although its really easy to be cynical and bemoan the dearth of creativity in modern film posters with it's over reliance on tropes and cliches, well the fact that the same could be said of the actual movies themselves" Damn! this hit hard!
