Temat: Quiz. How many films can you recognise by their Polish...

I found this in the newspaper. It's a collection of PRL era posters for American films. Firstly without the title, and secondly with.

It isn't always obvious which film the poster is for - I only guessed two. Have a look below and see how many you can figure out.

I got 5,5 (The Neverending Story counts for 0,5). I may have seen some of them before, though.

Poland has a nice tradition of really good poster art. I wish we had more of them today.

True. Aren't those posters great? Witty, smart, tricky; so different from this pop wholesale production.

(I recognised 3. Feeling dissapointed.)

I recognized none.

But for example, their style is very familiar to me.

e.g. 'The Apocalipse Now' is by Waldemar Świerzy - a quite famous poster and graphic artist from the so-called Polish school of poster

Coming back to polish movie posters, I think we've had a similar discussion in the past, may have been in a different group, though.
