Movie Poster Monday: ET

Posted in Movie Poster Mondays by - February 14, 2011

Most movies struggle to come up with just one iconic image. ET managed to present us with two.

Not only that, but the bicycle image lives on in contemporary films as the logo of Spielberg’s production company, Amblin.

I suppose to fully conform to the rules of Movie Poster Monday I should really pick just one of the posters as the focus of this post. But to be honest I really struggle to pick a winner, so I’m going to risk Lee’s wrath and choose both of them

These truly are excellent posters. Both depict pivotal and iconic moments in the film, they communicate the tender and wondrous nature of the story and characters, and they both manage to intrigue without giving too much away. All with just one image. Fantastic stuff.

    I’m outraged that you’d take advantage of the Monday Movie Poster!!!

    Actually I think you’re completely right about the iconic images presented in these posters!
