What are some interesting movie covers?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) November 20th, 2011

I’ve noticed something about movie covers through the years. It used to be that many of them were really original, and you could see the effort put into it. Take Evil Dead 2 for example. How is this not awesome? I can think of so many old movies that have covers in that style, or something similar.
But today, mostly, I just see some actors on the covers, or maybe a logo or something. It’s always something really simple. It gets to the point yes, but I seem to prefer old covers that are fun to look at. It’s something I noticed, but I don’t know the cause. Is it because people judged covers too much? Or is it just easier to take some pictures and use that? Are people more attracted to certain actors? For sure, the idea behind a cover has to be appealing to the public, in some way.
Well, if someone knows anything about movie cover history, please share, if you want.
I’m looking for covers people think are interesting. I’d love to see artwork of old horror, martial arts and fantasy movies, however, anything you find interesting is welcome. Old, new, whatever. Got some cool movie covers you like?

Feel free to include video game covers too; they seem to share the same history a little.
