30 Best 90s Movie Posters

GoldenEye (1995)

Representative Of The Film? Confident, swaggering even, and with that self-assured tagline telling us what we already know. This one hits the target no problem.

Coolest Detail: That look of steely resolve in Brosnan’s eye.

Aladdin (1992)

Representative Of The Film? Disney is magic, and the studio lets us know that its latest adventure is going to be just as fantastical as ever.

Coolest Detail: The film’s logo is almost as iconic as the lamp itself.

Basquiat (1996)

Representative Of The Film? A shot of lead actor Jeffrey Wright is painted over in a distinctly Julian Schnabel way – fitting, considering the film’s a Schnabel biopic.

Coolest Detail: That ridiculously awesome cast list.

Rocketeer (1991)

Representative Of The Film? Considering Joe Johnston’s film is a period superhero flick, the Art Deco approach on the poster side of things is entirely appropriate.

Coolest Detail: It turns movie posters into an art form. Spectacular.

Jackie Brown (1997)

Representative Of The Film? One of the better films out of the Miramax stable to utilise the revolutionary post- Scream trick of lining up all your key players. More representative of the studio than the film itself.

Coolest Detail: Pam Grier with a gun aimed right at you; a surefire attention grabber.

Scream (1996)

Representative Of The Film? Well, there’s lots of screaming in it, and a fair bit of over-the-hand shock moments, so we’ll say yes.

Coolest Detail: It's just wonderfully simplistic - like the title.

Trainspotting (1996)

Representative Of The Film? You’d hope so, considering all the actors are posing in character. Ewan McGregor in particular pulls off grubbily wasted.

Coolest Detail: The supremely cynical tagline.

Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

Representative Of The Film? An effortlessly skin-crawly image, with the plot-pivotal moth silencing Jodie Foster. Shudder.

Coolest Detail: Zooming in on the moth skull, it’s actually revealed to be white-painted women who have made a skull with their bodies. Yikes.

Unforgiven (1992)

Representative Of The Film? It tells you everything you could possibly need to know about a Western starring and made by Clint Eastwood – it stars Clint Eastwood, and it has Clint Eastwood using a really massive gun.

Coolest Detail: Clint doesn’t even need to look at the camera, that’s how awesome he is.

Misery (1990)

Representative Of The Film? This one-sheet doesn’t even rely on Kathy Bates for its ability to induce shivers, instead evoking the bleak isolation of the film’s setting to chilling effect.

Coolest Detail: The cosy-looking cottage is actually a place of terror.
