    Bring Back Epic Movie Posters: These Sword and Sorcery Masterpieces Put Today’s 'Floating Heads' Posters to Shame

    Remember when movie posters were actual works of art? I'm talking about the golden age of sword and sorcery movies—posters that looked like they belonged on the side of a heavy metal album cover. Back then, artists gave us dramatic battles, gleaming swords, fire-breathing beasts, and impossibly muscular heroes standing triumphantly in front of apocalyptic landscapes. Even sci-fi films jumped on the trend, creating posters that promised epic adventures and danger at every corner. Sure, most of those movies were beyond bad, but the posters were awesome!

    Now, what do we get? A sea of "floating heads" and generic Photoshop collages that look like they were slapped together in five minutes. It's time to bring back those bold, over-the-top, hand-painted masterpieces that made you need to see the movie, even if the movie itself was pure B-movie cheese. Let's celebrate 26 classic sword-and-sorcery movie posters that were so epic, they're still unmatched today.
