I recently came across these amazing Turkish and Russian vintage posters thanks to random google searches.





Polish posters The posters for recent American blockbusters are really out there (Imperium above is for Star Wars- and I'm sure you spotted the Terminator)
Turkish posters Check out the western section- there are some great Clint Eastwood posters in there too.

What if...Saul Bass did the Star Wars title sequence?

Boy, you think he'd do a little better with the type...
