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?)

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.

I'd like to know what they based this on.

Now THAT is a beautiful and perfect movie poster indeed.

The one that should have been in the TOP 10:

Yes, that's a great poster.

But according to Entertainment Weekly, Almost Famous is so friggin better.

Great movie though

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.

I know. That's a great poster.

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.
