I love it because the way it is designed and how evocative it is of the film. It makes me want to see the movie again, and again, and again....

Yes, I've been using IMP quite a bit, and also this Spanish site, which has quite a selection of classics and international posters.

I add posters to Magilla's DVD Report regularly and while I try to find them on allposters.com, I have sometimes come across films I cannot find there. I found a great source for posters and there is a decent number of them there, though older years are expectedly sparse.

Yeah, it's actually fun trying to find the posters, particularly if I find an international poster that's different and unique.

Or maybe one cannot answer it? I'm actually very curious to see someone intelligently defend an American soap as art.
