These days, we tend to choose what to pick after an aimless 20 minutes scrolling through the menus on Netflix or Disney+, but it wasn't always like this. For years, that aimless scrolling was handled by the film posters which festooned cinemas, bus shelters and other public areas through the land.
The right poster can evoke a film without words, stir nostalgia and entice viewers into cinemas. We've taken a selection from Tony Nourmand's new book 1001 Movie Posters: Designs of the Times (Reel Art Press, £80) to raise a smile — and perhaps even persuade you to revisit an old favourite. No Netflix scrolling required.
