Many gorgeous pieces in this book, five of which have inspired me to see the movies they portray, having not seen them in the past.

Any movie buff knows that movie posters are sometimes also great works of art. Well, lots of artists are movie fans, and they create their own posters of their favorite movies. This book collects about 150 of these alternate posters and many of them are fabulous to look at. If you're a fan of movies, movie posters, or lowbrow art, you're in for a treat.
