We have looked back over some of the great posters from the noughties, nineties, eighties, seventies, and sixties, and now it is the fifties that are in the spotlight.
This decade not only produced some terrific films, but the artwork was also top draw.
We take a look at some of our favourite posters from a great decade of movies.
- Singin’ in the Rain (1952)
Singin’ in the Rain hit the big screen in 1952, and saw Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen in the director's chair.
Singin’ in the Rain is one of the most iconic musicals from this decade, as Kelly and starred alongside Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds.
The movie was a light-hearted look at Hollywood during the late 1920s. While the movie was only a modest hit when it was released, it is widely regarded as one of the best musicals ever made.
The poster feature Gelly, O'Connor and Reynolds, and is one of the most iconic and enduring images from the film.
- The War of the Worlds (1953)
The War of the Worlds was one of the best science fiction films of the fifties, as H. G. Wells' novel of the same name was brought to the big screen.
The movie saw Byron Haskin in the director's chair, and tells of a Martian invasion of Earth.
The movie was both a critical and commercial hit when it was released, and was the most successful sci-fi film of that year.
The War of the Worlds went on to be nominated for three Oscars; winning for Best Special Effects.
- Dial M For Murder (1954)
Alfred Hitchcock is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, and he returned to the director's chair in 1954 with Dial M For Murder.
The movie was based on the play of Frederick Knott, and saw Ray Milland team up with Grace Kelly.
Dial M For Murder follows an ex-tennis pro carries out a plot to murder his wife. When things go wrong, he improvises a brilliant plan B.
Bill Gold was the American graphic designer who was behind the poster for the film, having worked on the likes of Casablanca and The Big Sleep.
- The Seven Year Itch (1955)
There was no bigger film star in the fifties that Marilyn Monroe, and The Seven Year Itch remains one of her most iconic roles.
The Seven Year Itch was based on the play of the same name by George Axelrod, and saw Billy Wilder in the director's chair.
Monroe took on the role of The Girl in the film, and had one of the most famous scenes in movie history... of course; I am talking about her white dressing whipping up.
And it is this image that takes centre stage on a fantastically hand-drawn poster.
- Forbidden Planet (1956)
Forbidden Planet was a movie that really paved the way in 1956, as it was the first film to use an entirely electronic musical score.
Forbidden Planet saw Fred M. Wilcox in the director's chair, and saw Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen star.
The movie follows a starship crew goes to investigate the silence of a planet's colony only to find two survivors and a deadly secret that one of them has.
Robby the Robot takes centre stage in what is one of the most iconic sci-fi posters of all time.
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers hit the big screen back in 1956, and was an adaptation of the novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney.
Directed by Don Siegel, Invasion of the Body Snatchers follows a small-town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a film that was mainly ignored by the critics when it was released, and only in retrospect has it achieved acclaim.
The film is nearly sixty years old, and it is still regarded as one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
Other terrific movie posters from the fifties include Anatomy of Murder, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and Attack of the 50 foot Woman.
