Attack of the 50ft Woman can be added to the list.  And The Glass Key -- I thought the movie was a snoozer, but damn that poster....

Just about every fifties (American) "SF", horror and exploitation. The poster is better than the film,

Sorry bud... Ladd and Lake are dull to me when compared to noir greats Bogart and Bacall.  :)

But you are probably correct, it probably doesn't fit in this thread -- it's not the "worst" I can think of by a long shot.  Just a big disparity.

All I can say is if you are not going to self-moderate then stop self-medicating... ;)

What was that?  I'm confused.  I thought you guys were big fans of my Bieber collection.  What's wrong with sharing the goods when it's good?

Just never could get into King Creole like with JHR......but that is ONE helluva poster  :o

http://cgi.ebay.it/LA-VIA-DEL-MALE-MANIFESTO-ELVIS-PRESLEY-KING-CREOLE-/180659625744?pt=Film_Stranieri&hash=item2a10271f10


Most Elvis fans think King Creole is his best film, and I tend to agree (though Viva Las Vegas is his best `Elvis' film, if you know what I mean)

Maybe not the worst movie ever, but still, a pretty cool concept and design, for the 2005's House of Wax. Created artwork with no pasted photos or bad portrait montages cobbled together. For a modern poster for a sub-mediocre film, it really ain't too shabby, imho.
