I have to say the mere fact that JAWS did not make the top 25 tells me what a terrible list this is. JAWS didn't make the top 25 but these did:

THE FIGHT CLUB
40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN
MEMENTO (what the hell movie is that?):rolleyes:

Well, they are showcasing "perfect" movie posters, which I guess means they captured the essence of the film, blah blah blah...

EW rarely includes any film/tv show/etc that made before 1980 in thier lists.

They must have a bunch of youngins on thier staff.

PERFECT movie posters and Showgirls (poster) is an oxymoron. :lol:

There were a couple of good posters. I'm glad that Flashdance made it! I agree with everyone else about the Jaws poster. That's one of the best and should have been included. Saturday Night Fever should have been included too.

They were going for the best 25 movie posters of the past 25 years, since 1983. Jaws and Saturday Night Fever were 70s movies. I think they put together a fantastic gallery.

Ah. That explains it.
Yes it does. DUH! :crazy:

Still don't get Steve Carrell's mug on the 40 year old Virgin poster. :rolleyes:

Silence of the Lambs should be right behind Terminator. I agree with American History X. ;)

Some I thought were pretty lame, but they did include some really great movie posters.
