Movie posters are the main visual representation you have to get someone to see your movie. Most are safe. Some, however, push beyond a simple advertisement to a work of art.

These are 20 posters that dare to be different, all from films released in the past year or so. Be inspired and enjoy.

Great choices – I especially love bottle shock

Did you hear Caleb’s involvement with the choke poster?

Goliath, girl cut in 2 are both really cool. burn after reading is nicely old Bond/Hitchcock – that font is back like woah.

Who made that what we do is secret poster?

and Dear Zachary – wow, where did that one come from?
