In 1927 Heinz Schulz-Neudamm produced the above poster for Metropolis, the film which is generally considered to be the birthplace of modern sci-fi films. The robot shown in the poster shares a huge resemblance to C3-P0, the robot from Star Wars, showing just how influential films and film posters can be. This poster holds the world record for the sale of a movie poster, set at $690,000 in 2005 to an un-named bidder, rumoured to be Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't understand what's so great about this poster itself in all honesty, but what it does show is that movie posters are more than just design, they're art in themselves.
