I came across this blog post about Polish film posters the other day, there are some gorgeous visuals (and some interesting politics being debated in the comments!) and I really enjoyed thinking about a fairly overlooked medium in a new light – I never really stop to think about movie posters or consider most of them as works of art.

I’ve had this page bookmarked for a week or so and have been back to ponder them all several times.. Here’s a couple to whet your appetite:
