Movie posters are the main visual representation you have to get someone to see your movie. Most are safe. Some, however, push beyond a simple advertisement to a work of art.
These are 20 posters that dare to be different, all from films released in the past year or so. Be inspired and enjoy.

JCVD. very well done.
arie – Some refreshingly different (yet totally contemporary) movie posters

Great choices – I especially love bottle shock
Did you hear Caleb’s involvement with the choke poster?
Goliath, girl cut in 2 are both really cool. burn after reading is nicely old Bond/Hitchcock – that font is back like woah.
I love many of the dark knight’ posters but i remember looking at this one for quite a while the first time I saw it in a theatre. Something felt especially vulgar about it and I kept feeling like there was some rule about advertising it was disobeying but I suppose it wasn;t.
Who made that what we do is secret poster?
and Dear Zachary – wow, where did that one come from?
