In the past four months or so since I last did this, the following on my @movieposterofthday (leave off the last e for elegance) Instagram has more than tripled, which makes this best-of round-up more competitive. Sadly, as is often the case, a lot of my posts were occasioned by the passing of an actor or director, or, in the case of the most popular poster yet, by a composer. The lovely two-color American half sheet for The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was posted in honor of Michel Legrand, who passed away in January at 86 just the day after Serbian director Dušan Makavejev, who was also 86 and whose ribald German poster for Sweet Movie also made the top 20.

Omni was a magazine published from the late-seventies to the mid-nineties mostly covering science and science fiction. I was a bit young to have been a reader of it, but having researched the magazine after looking through The Mind’s Eye: The Art of Omni, I can confirm that it looks like exactly the kind of wacky and fantastic thing I would have dug hard.

Most of the illustrations could quite comfortably be under ‘cosmic surrealism’, the name given to some contributions by Luděk Pešek. There are depictions of futuristic landscapes, cyborgs, aliens, distant planets and so forth as well as some weird, Daliesque images straight out of some peoples’ kooky subconscious.
