The Best Movie Posters of 2024 - Unfolding @ Posteritati (2025)

Anora

Craig Oldham

Vintage sexploitation inspired posters for Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winning hit, displayed at Anora merch pop-ups. To celebrate the release of Anora, we invited Sean to take over our Instagram account for the month of October to share some of his favorite posters from his personal collection, this one inspired the direction for these alternate poster designs. Released by NEON.

Rumours / Sasquatch Sunset / Mother Couch / Hukkle

Aleksander Walijewski

Four by Polish poster artist Aleksander Walijewski. From top to bottom: the official one sheet for Guy Maddin's G7 satire Rumours, released by Bleecker Street; Henri Rousseau inspired artwork for David and Nathan Zellner's Sasquatch Sunset created for the French release of the film; Niclas Larsson's comedy Mother Couch, released by Film Movement / Memory; the one sheet for the new restoration of György Pálfi's Hukkle (2002) with artwork that's as delightfully strange as the film, released by Dekanalog. Walijewski also created an incredible alt poster for last year's Best International Feature Oscar winner The Zone of Interest.

A Different Man

Plakiat

Excellent unofficial alt for Aaron Shimberg's Sundance hit with Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, and Adam Pearson. Released by A24.

A Real Pain

Plakiat / Madison Coby / Jack Crossing / Intermission Film

The Substance / The Last Showgirl

Akiko Stehrenberger

Two by Akiko Stehrenberger. Brilliant unofficial alt for Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, referencing the classic My Wife and My Mother-in-Law optical illusion (top, released by MUBI), and another lovely unofficial alt for Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl (bottom, released by Roadside Attractions).

Brian Hung

Two by Brian Hung. Adrian Curry named Brian's poster for Hong Sang-soo's A Traveler's Needs (top) the best movie poster of the year.

A surprisingly simple poster for such a complex film with an abundance of visual material to pull from but in the end a startling and evocative choice of image, text and color. Released by Janus Films / Sideshow.

The year of the red and black horror poster. Official Longlegs screenprint (top), released by NEON.
