Movie Posters

I was checking out some blaxploitation soundtracks -- which are a bit of a passion for me -- and was really surprised at the movie posters and how interesting they were. I don't really see that in more contemporary posters, but I guess that does along with general decline in quality in most things.

The Foxy Brown poster has a lot of details and the catch phrase. Nice soundtrack too, by Willie Hutch.


Black Mama White Mama is a little more out of control. I like the ".. where they come from this is fun." Never seen the movie, it looks like the same sort of idea as that movie with Sydney Poitier and Tony Curtis when they escape from prison, but this one looks like it might be a lot raunchier.



Savage, which has a really nice soundtrack, also takes the poster to a comparable level.



He's more than a man he's a death machine. Pretty much lays it out pretty clearly. But what really takes this to the next level is catch phrase at the bottom: "Men call him Savage, Women call him all the time".

Now how about this for suggestive:



This should've gotten an Oscar, since they give them for almost everything. "Watch the landlord get his". I can just see it, "I'm sorry I don't have the money this month. Is there something else I could do?" Then you cue the porno music.
