Awesome firsts! My first movie poster was Batman Begins.
Ah, Batman Begins. You know, I finally just got around to my second viewing of Inception (working on a post about it) and it made me realize even more how much I think Batman Begins is truly Nolan's best work.
I'm pretty sure both of you meant "Batman Forever," but I guess I never realized Nolan directed that.
Uh, did you SEE what movie character I said annoyed the hell out of me? Or is this merely your attempt at "comedy"?
Such a classic poster that Ghostbusters one, I need to get round to updating my 'collection'. At the moment my wall is covered with old comics so, not enough room!
Great picks! Still haven't seen Heavenly Creatures. : - O
nice list! gotta say - the ol' riddler i kinda liked him! and nut-job two-face played by tommy lee jones. in fact, batman forever was a pretty crazy film.
5plitreel: Oh, you so need to see Heavenly Creatures. Not just for Kate. It's a certified masterpiece all the way around, if you ask me.
Simon: Batman Forever was just too much Schumacher for me, too amped up, too much of too much. Although I did kind of like Val Kilmer in the title role. Then again I always kind of like Val Kilmer.
