The Official GOAT List: Ranking the Greatest Movie Posters of All Time
Some movie posters sell a film. Others become part of pop culture.
The best movie posters aren’t just advertisements — they’re instantly recognizable images that stick in your brain for decades. One shark swimming upward changed blockbuster marketing forever.

From the terrifying simplicity of Jaws to the cool rebellion of Pulp Fiction, every contender here has a fanbase ready to defend it.
