The giffed-up art for Jackie Brown is very appropriate for its time.
And this is the second time today Freebie & The Bean has come up in conversation.

not to get all thread police but the thread title has the word CARICATURE in it, not just any old illustration
A representation, especially pictorial or literary, in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect.

re: these posters in video rental places, always musty-smelling and discolored by years of sunlight through the front windows.

I think Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould's faces were made specifically to be caricatured this way

Great thread! I used to hate these, but now that there's more historical distance I love them. Although I do have some nostalgia for the context that I used to seem them in, as the covers of 15 year old VHS tapes in tiny rural gas station video rental sections.

For some reason, I was convinced Meatballs had one of these, but, apparently not. Also, man...lotta lotta movies I never heard of. The amazing thing about this art style (for the ones that are actually in the thread-specified style) is how, the more the poster screams wacky screwball hijinks flying every which way, the more you know the movie's going to be a sluggish, hokey affair with a lot of bland mugging in front of a stock-still camera in mildly offbeat locations, etc.
Not a movie poster, but in-genre:
