Why is that the worst films often have the best film posters.
This one for horror film ‘The Forest‘ is a good example.
The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

— Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
As soon as I saw the book I knew that this would be the best film ever…
— The Martian
Having just seen Matt Damon in Ridley Scott’s ‘The Martian’ at the cinema, I’m happy to tell you that it’s a truly fabulous book… …but only a good film.
It’s enjoyable enough, but disappointing if you’ve read the book. They chose, understandably I admit, to film the book’s least interesting part of the story and reduce to superficial background those parts of the book that were most fascinating.
Anyway, there’s a few rather cool movie posters out there alongside the mainstream options produced for the multiplexes.
— Bare
The poster’s nothing special, I’ve no idea what the film’s about, or whether it’ll be any good, it simply stars Paz de la Huerta and that’s good enough for The English Group
— The Thief Of Paris
I really like the illustration used on this French grande poster for The Thief Of Paris, as directed by Louis Malle (France, 1967)
— Breathless
A rather fabulous illustrated 1961 UK mini quad poster for Breathless, directed of course by Jean-Luc Godard (France, 1960).
The poster’s designer was Peter Strausfeld (1910-1980).
— Macbeth
There seems to be a lot of posters out there ahead of the release of the new film version of Macbeth starring Michael Fassbender.
I do like these two though.

— Blind
I don’t know much about this new Norwegian movie, but here’s the international poster for BLIND (directed by Eskil Vogt, 2014).
…I do find it somewhat intriguing.
The poster designer is Handverk
— The Danish Girl
Film posters for Tom Hooper’s new movie ‘The Danish Girl’.
…and, yes, the lead female actor is Eddie Redmayne.
— The Cry
Arresting layout arrangement on this Czech poster for The Cry as directed by Jaromil Jires (Czechoslovakia, 1963)
The poster designer is Zdenek Ziegler (b. 1932).
— River Of Grass
Very evocative illustration on this US re-release poster for River Of Grass as directed by Kelly Reichardt (USA, 1993)
The illustrator/atist is Zachary Baldus
— The Escort
The Escort is a new film starring no one really and probably not going to be watched by anyone either, but I do rather like the movie poster.
