Top Movie Poster Cliches

Last year we ran a piece about how movie posters loved to borrow from each other, and now we see that things really haven’t changed that much in the past year as you can see below. It makes you wish Mondo posters could create all of them instead.

Mondo does it best!

Last November, we showed how Hollywood not only loves to recycle movie ideas aka Rebooting but movie posters get the same kind of treatment. Not much has changed in the past year, and they’ve been included in the current crop put together by our friends over at Hollywood Leek. I guess they’re part of the same by recycling the similar story, but with some updating! So here’s they’re top 13 biggest movie poster cliches with a couple Mondo posters thrown in to show how they stand head and shoulders above the studios.

1. The Back to Back aka I’ve got your back…you can trust me not to poke you in this position…

Mondo

2. Laying in Bed aka This could make the audience think they’ll get a glimpse of us naked when we get out, but you’ll have a bra on and my underwear for realism…

3. Big Head Floating Over a Beach aka My Vacuous Head In The Beach Clouds Trend

4. Blue, Generally with a Moon or Sun aka Nature Looks Better In Blue…
