We dug up the best retro-style movie posters in honor of 'Stranger Things'

There’s no doubt Stranger Things has an awesome storyline, but there’s no doubt the absolutely magical look and feel of Netflix’s latest blockbuster series is what seems to have people hooked. The retro sensibility channeling the Spielberg and King is so entrancing, in fact, that someone even put up an entire website that lets you write script in the same design as the show’s ultra-cool logo.

But this old-school callback to vintage cool isn’t something new. In fact, it’s seen a massive push in the past several years by especially in the movie poster scene. We’ve created a gallery of our 10 favorite retro-style movie posters and their artists. Some of these are new, some old, but all of them will look awesome on your wall. Check them out — and mind your checking account, most of them are only available for a pretty penny on eBay.

The movie follows an army colonel thrust onto the front lines of a battle against alien invaders. Edge of Tomorrow is a time-hopping thriller featuring career-best work from both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Here are three reasons you should make time for it.
We also have guides to the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.

Edge of Tomorrow - Official Trailer 1 [HD]
Tom Cruise has entered a stage of his movie stardom where he's no longer interested in having romantic chemistry with his co-stars, but Edge of Tomorrow was one of the last movies where he did, and it rules. As Cruise's William Cage finds himself reliving the same day over and over, Blunt's Rita Vrataski is the only one who knows how to help him, and together the two of them figure out how to use Cruise's power to their advantage.
Each actor turns in a great performance, but Cruise and Blunt are such good scene partners that it's a pity she never got roped into the world of Mission: Impossible.
