Unrelated 'cause it's not euro, but I can't let an alternate movie poster discussion go without mentioning the wonderful Ghanian school of hand painted movie posters.


“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^
-BD = "Bandes dessinées"
-BDT = Bedetheque
-GN = graphic novel
-LBK = Lambiek
-LC = "Ligne claire"

Ah, those are great. Just bursting with character, whereas the American versions almost always tried for a slick, hip, power-based approach. Or something like that.
Thanks for sharing those! :-)
It’s unusual that the text is in English rather than Polish. A lot of Polish posters for US films retitle the films (IIRC, Terminator’s Polish title translated as “Electronic Murderer”)
Hey, pretty cool. (I'll link it below)
I've seen a mix of types, myself. In the collection I'm building, the poster for Aliens is spelled out either "ORCY" or "OBCY," which I believe would be "Orcs" or "Strangers." Saving Private Ryan becomes "Szeregowiec Ryan," so same meaning there.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were specifically altered backwards for English-speakers, but maybe you can comment on that future post?
Nsfw content appears blurred and I can't change it, using blorp -.-
Oh shoot, when you open the post it doesn't resolve? If not, then does this link work for you?
