The good…

01. Days of Heaven

This one might be a re-release, but it’s one of the most beautiful posters of the year – which is arguably befitting what some have called the most beautiful film ever made. The sun-kissed retro delight is perfect for the 4K restoration of Terrence Malik’s 1978 film.

02. Challengers

The striking poster for Challengers, the Zendaya-helmed tennis film, has an extravagantly maximalist 80s vibe. Viewers were quick to point out the resemblance to several posters from that era, such as Risky Business.

03. The First Omen

The horror genre has always produced some of the most artistic movie posters around, and that trend continued in 2024. With a distinctly ’70s aesthetic, the stunning poster for The First Omen classily recalls the classic The Exorcist posters with clean lines and grainy monochrome photography.

The bad…

Hit Man

From a distance, the poster for Netflix’s Hit Man looks perfectly serviceable. It communicates the premise of the film, starring Glen Powell as a strait-laced professor who discovers his hidden talent as a master of disguise. But here, the devil is in the details.
