I'm sure What's Up, Doc? has already appeared on this thread, but the below has some extra busy/claustrophobicness not included on the english language version

that one's a broken link, great Belgian "What's Up Doc?" though

What's Up, Doc? is one of the most underrated films of all time

I remember what a big deal it was to keep switching Long & Midler's names around to share equal credit.

Hadn't seen that second Outrageous Fortune cover before. Our VHS copy is the first one and it looks like hell. Perspective/anatomy is funky in this Rob Liefeld way I think, and just the general style of the drawing is another one of those ones that shows the sad step down in poster cartoonery since the heyday. BTW is that movie any good? I've waffled on popping it in many a time.

I saw it in the theater with my dad and step-mother. Somewhere in the middle, Bette Midler starts yelling about a corpse that he has a NEEDLE DICK! A NEEDLE DICK! My dad's very animated embarrassment causing other patrons to shush him forced me to go out to the lobby and notice that there were two versions of the poster for the same movie.

not a movie poster but this thread gave me massive flashbacks to this record my dad had when I was a kid, it terrified and fascinated me and the image of Rod Stewart probably contributed to my life long hatred of him:

Couldn't have been easy working out how to get all of EWF back there.

I must be remembering the artist from poring through a cache of '60s playboys when I was in my early teens

great link, thanks LBJ.

Someone really missed the boat by not using that Outrageous Fortune image for a Thelma and Louise poster.

I'm intrigued by any film "featuring Earth Wind and Fire as The Group."
