25-year-old artist Brandon Schaefer has an obvious and admitted affection for film–something that comes through in his constantly-expanding collection of superbly designed vintage movie posters. The Dark Knight poster (above) made the rounds earlier this year, but the rest of these are fresh introductions to Schaefer’s retro, colorful work. 11 more gems, including Annie Hall, The Blair Witch Project and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, after the jump.
Old school posters like these are preferable to all those flashy, poorly photo-shopped disasters that stain the walls at movie theaters across the country. Check out Brandon’s Flickr Photostream or his website for more work and information. It looks like most of these were designed for, or in conjunction with, the Friday Night Film Series at the Ashland Public Library in Ashland, MA.

Really well done. As a movie poster collector I find graphics and artwork of a poster very important. I wish the studios were this creative.

I wish modern movie posters actually were this cool! There is no 'cool factor' in most posters now, its all advertising and no art.
But then it is the same with the movies being represented.
