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:

^^^ I like how by this point nobody really seems to be moving all that fast, compared to It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World... there's been a real loss of madcap will and screwball faith.

And, now that I've spammed the thread to oblivion: Whatever happened to this genre of poster? Had its potential been exhausted? Did audiences no longer respond? Did the kind of movie that supported this kind of poster fade away? Or did it just get too easy and cheap to Photoshop actual photos of people's heads to wacky sizes and call it a day?

Bingo. It's more profitable to do just one design on the cheap that will be the poster, dvd/bluray cover etc. What's really striking me about some many of these is how verbose they are re:pitch/loglines instead of rehashing critical quotes.
Anyway, back to regular programming...

also, how much does a poster image matter to movie promotion nowadays compared to back then.

It still amazes me what a huge fucking deal Smokey and the Bandit was. Like, of all the movies to reverberate all through american culture, why that one?

Dude, have you ever seen Smokey & The Bandit?
Sure there was the space movie in 1977, but nothing says Welcome to Carter Country like S&TB.
Also Jackie Gleason.
