Not both movie posters (there I go breaking the rules again  eyeroll) but these seem to be at least partially Deco-inspired:

I always thought this was the same as the international one sheet.  But after looking closer, I think its a re-rendering because there are some subtle differences.

All the Metropolis are great.  Pretty much the epitome of art deco...

Charlie,

Why do you think this poster is Art Deco? I don't see any deco element in it, myself. (But talk about an image almost identical to the artwork for VERTIGO!)

I had the same thought, but I just put that one in the "Copy Cats" thread and the "Diagonal" thread.

Not sure if my understanding of art deco is the same as yours, so I looked it up.

Art-deco design influences were expressed in the crystalline and faceted forms of decorative Cubism and Futurism.[18][18] Other popular themes of Art Deco were trapezoidal, zigzagged, geometric, and jumbled shapes,[15][19] which can be seen in many early works. Two great examples of these themes and styles are in Detroit, Michigan: the Fisher Building and the Guardian Building.[20]

The use of stepped forms and geometric curves (unlike the sinuous, natural curves of Art Nouveau),[14][25] chevron patterns, ziggurat-shapes, fountains, and the sunburst motif are typical of Art Deco. Some of these motifs were ubiquitous – for example, sunburst motifs were used in such varied contexts as women's shoes, radiator grilles, radio and clock faces, the auditorium of the Radio City Music Hall, and the spire of the Chrysler Building.


I always thought art deco was about the lines and series of lines geometrically arranged.  I may be wrong; not an art major.

However, I would ask the same of the Vampires poster, isn't it more art nouveau?

The Vampires poster does have a bit of art nouveau to it, i agree. Post modified to remove said "offender"  ;). When looking for deco pieces, this one came up but is not exact.

Re your BURIED poster, I asked because the white lines are not straight and sharp edged but have small angular bumps and an unevenness to them. Just wanted to ask you.  ;)

Good point.  Removed since the subject post isn't kinda art deco.  I'll leave the good stuff up to you all...  That is the only one in my collection that came close...
