Someone I knew in an irc channel a while back explained the style of Polish graphic design as the product of a nation that never got contaminated by Superman.

Simple, but effective. I wouldn't put them on my wall though.

Actually, Scots, those are some of the best ones. I wish I could explain why, but it's something to do with the fact that they are highly stylised and bear little relation to the content of the movie.
Agreed. That and the fact that I find it really interesting to see the choices as far as "these are iconic images from the film"... Look at the Raider of the Lost Ark one, for instance.

Wow- these things are incredible. There's some seriously good design/illustration work there. I don't know where to begin....
The ghost of Toulouse-Lautrec certainly smiled on them.

I like how very few people in this thread are listing the movie titles of the posters shown.

Lucas should have cast that clever fascist coathanger as the central villain in the last Star Wars movie.
