TcCandler.com lists the 100 top movie posters of all time. The DAD teaser makes #5 on the list.

#5 is way, way too high, like most such lists it's obviously been written by someone with a five year memory and a book listing all the other highpoints. That said, it is a great poster, the best in a long while.

Show a little skin, and it looks like you get an automatic qualification.

I'm as much a fan of a lady's leg as anybody, but... really?

Odd list. Have to say I'm a little bit surprised that it's the Die Another Day poster that ranks so high - personally I think it's nice, but not that astonishing.

Still - love seeing the Magnolia poster make an appearance.

I like the Die Another Day teaser & the campaign that went along with it but #5 does seem a bit high.

[DamnCoffee]

I agree. 5 does seem pretty high. But I think Die Another Day had one of, if not the best marketing campaign for a Bond movie.

It's a great poster, I'm not debating that. But out of all the Bond films he chose that poster? There are hundrends of much better posters in the Bond series, and there's a lot of classics he didnt include. I personally feel "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has one of the best posters ever, hell all four Indy films have great posters, and I didnt see any of them on the list.

When it comes to Bond, that is a horribly pathetic choice when ANY of the earlier ones are taken into consideration (except for the final USA and UK LICENCE TO KILL posters).

Unforgivable.

I'd say the The World is not Enough advance poster is quite a bit more stylish, as one example.

I agree. The Bond posters from the late 60s - 80s are my favorites.

What was so iconic about DAD's teaser?

Doesn't hold a candle to CR's teaser image. The hand on the PPK that's sitting on the baize is P-I-M-P.

[Safari Suit]

I thought the comparison would come up, and I have to say I honestly prefer the DAD poster. Yes, the CR poster is classier, but I like my teasers to be a bit more minimal and mysterious, which I think the DAD teaser is.

[Cruiserweight]

Thunderball,OHMSS,TSWLM,FYEO,TLD


Those films posters are more iconic then anyone from DAD

[broadshoulder]

Well, the poster is certainly better then the shoddy film.

It should have been at 99. The editor of the list is obviously a Brosnan podder and it was probably his first film at the cinema.

Its not as iconic as LALD's voodoo motif, FYEOs girl with crossbow and legs or the magnificent detail of OHMSS poster. To be frank, the Octopussy poster is better then that.

Not good.

[marktmurphy]

Brownjohn's Goldfinger poster is infinitely classy and absolutely timeless I'd say; the DAD teaser is rather tacky. Looks like a cheap book cover.
As said above, the CR teaser is much classier. Even FYEO is more iconic.

definately.

Touché ! I believe it had the best campaign of them all! You know 40 years after the first film! But I agree #5 is too high! There's nothing special about it! Those art posters are definitely more stylish and iconic than this!

[O.H.M.S.S.]

Die Another Day has many flaws (it's my least favourite of them all), but it has three aspects that I still think are great.

1. The inventive title sequence + unusual main title song.

2. David Tattersall's cinematography.

3. That great teaser poster with the silenced Walther melting in the ice.

So, I'd say it is one of the best posters in the series and I'm glad to see it being included in a list like this.
