After perusing the collection of posters for popular movies sans print that is linked below, I was surprised by just how much attention I give to the words instead of the pictures. Once the writing was stripped away, elements of the illustrations that I had not taken note of before seemed to jump out at me.
For example, I had never noticed the slight attempt at beefcake made by the Raiders of the Lost Ark poster, with Harrison Ford's shirt unbuttoned to near nip-slip territory. They have him posed almost like a cheesy Chippendale dancer.
