Your Favorite Movie Posters by Drew Struzan




 








 




If they aren't your favorite movie posters, then they have to at least be up there around the top, because growing up these movies were on replay in the VHS and I now know the man behind the artwork.  Drew Struzan is an Oregon native, now Los Angeles based artist most prominently known for his poster work for the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future film series.  

He really knows how to manipulate facial expressions among characters while creating an alluring background. Some of my favorites for sure.
