We see beautiful movie posters every time we go to the theater, however, most people never take the time to fully appreciate all the hard work that goes into their creation. Not only do movie posters promote the films, they can also be a great source of inspiration.
In today’s post, we showcase our favorite examples of creative movie poster designs. Please note that we only included posters for movies that came out after the year 2000.
Furthermore, we would like to thank Start2enjoy.com for supporting our site and sponsoring this post.

The “Why So Serious?” poster is the best one I’ve ever seen. So clean, so mysterious, and follows the style of the movie.

i think the last poster is actually quite creative because of the symbolism. you have a sword, a shield, a rose and a ring. now, i haven’t watched this movie but i can imagine what it could potentially be about just from considering what those items represent.

Some of the posters above really are ingenious, but others are rather unexceptional. I’ve seen some really outstanding movie posters of the years, and I wonder why stuff like Constantine, Transformers, and Monsters, Inc. make the cut. I get the impression that posts on this site are reviewed by no one but the author. I just have the feeling a team working together would be able to review the content and weed out most of the mediocrity. Don’t get me wrong: This is a good site with some really interesting stuff. However, I’m bothered because I know it has the potential to be an excellent site if it really gets things together.
Further, it seems lazy and amateurish to just throw up posters, ads, etc. without commentary on why they are special. Give us some insight on why they made the list. Without the commentary, its doubtful that this can even be considered Fair Use.

I realize the tension building. Blogs are for free review and the DIY approach.
Not everything has to be annotated and/or explained! Take from it what you will.
Design that can be surpassed like movie posters have to be recognized.
Great work!
