TOP 30 GREATEST HITCHCOCK MOVIE POSTERS OF ALL-TIME

by Pierre Vudrag on Tuesday, October 20, 2020

In the history of motion pictures there are only a handful of directors whose name are known and popular with the general public. The names Steven Spielberg, Billy Wilder, John Ford and Quentin Tarantino are such directors. But only one director, in the history of motion pictures, whose name has become synonymous with a genre or style.  When someone says that movie is very “Hitchcockian” you immediately know that they are talking about the films of director Alfred Hitchcock.  Alfred Hitchcock was a master director whose films were carefully crafted, highly stylized and immediately recognizable as a “Hitchcock” film. In keeping with our ongoing series, we believe that the film of Alfred Hitchcock deserve their own category of the “Greatest Posters of All-Time”.  We’ve looked at the history of Hitchcock’s movie posters and judged the official poster art so as to come up with this list of the top 30 Greatest Hitchcock Movie Posters of All-Time. In compiling the list we’ve looked at posters from around the world including re-releases. Like Hitchcock many of these posters are icon and are highly collectible by movie poster aficionados.

We hope you enjoy these posters and admire the artwork, and if you’re just starting to collect vintage posters, we know you’ll discover some great designs as you countdown the top 30 Greatest Hitchcock Movie Posters of All-Time. Enjoy.
