“Volver.”
For lovers of world cinema memorabilia and ephemera, Spanish movie posters are a great addition to any collection. This list gathers five titles that any fan would find compelling, but with such a rich tradition of great cinema, dashing actors, and achingly beautiful actresses, Spain offers movie poster collectors an endless array of choices.
“El Espinazo Del Diablo.”
Talented director Pedro Almodóvar crafted this 2006 film and received wide acclaim. Collectors will enjoy this Spanish movie poster for its vibrant colors, interesting typography, and its stunning depiction of the lovely Penelope Cruz.
“Pan's Labyrinth.”
Audiences know director Guillermo del Toro for films like “Hell Boy” and “The Mimic,” but not nearly as many viewers are familiar with this creepy tale of life at an orphanage during the Spanish Civil War. Several different posters exist for this title and all are worth seeking out. The best features a dark brooding aesthetic and an eerie picture of Santi, a ghostly boy who haunts the orphanage.
“Proyecto Dos.”
Guillermo del Toro also directed this film which explores the fantasy world which a young girl uses to escape the reality of living with her cruel father in fascist Spain. A critical success, the film has a dark and surreal feel that comes through well on the amazing movie poster that greeted moviegoers before its release.
“Rivales.”
Nothing could be more Spanish than soccer, the subject of this film. Critics may have been ambivalent about the film's merits, but the cinema collector can easily see why the poster is such a great item. Cleverly depicting the film's stars as players on a foosball table, it conveys a fun, comic tone and promises viewers a great experience.
