Another easy one. Look for big familiar shapes and colours.
Answer: Full Metal Jacket (1987)
You got the hat, right? Course you did.
I Spy...
Sometimes, though, shapes aren't enough. In that case you're going to have to study the text real hard. Just make sure you destroy it once you're done...
Answer: Burn After Reading (2008)
Do a Brad-style chest-pump dance if you got that one.
You've got red on you
That's definitely a gun, but what can the splashes of red mean?
These posters are the fine work of John Taylor. They're available to buy as prints from here .
That gun belonging to Al Pacino, screamy hold-up guy extraordinaire in Sidney Lumet's heist classic.
Such a user
There's a definite sci-fi touch to this dark image.
Answer: Tron (1982)
It's tiny electro-hero Tron! Bathed in some kind of data laser, holding an info disc, of course.
Great white
Hmmm what's this, then? Clue: not the upcoming film version of Horace Goes Skiing.
Answer: Downhill Racer (1969)
But it is the poster for early on-the-slopes Robert Redford drama, Downhill Racer.
Seeing red
Hmmm. Looks space-ish again. Or like a volcano going off in the dark. Guesses?
Answer: Total Recall (1990)
Yes, it's Arnie's mind-melting sci-fi adventure. Implanted memories are the only acceptable reason for not getting that one.
With a bump
They're looking more and more like covers for Spectrum games, aren't they? Try to ignore that and focus on potential clues - a hat, the sky, the earth...
Answer: The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)
And they all belong to David Bowie: the hat on his head, the sky from which he fell and the earth on which he landed.
Not so mellow yellow
Not particularly hidden, this one - scare-fans, don't keep us in suspense...
Answer: Suspiria (1977)
It's the haunting poster for Dario Argento's chilling giallo, Suspiria.
Snap shot
A polaroid maybe? A snapshot of happier times?
Answer: Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
It's light-hearted divorce romp Kramer vs. Kramer.
Spicing things up
Two moons over one lonely desert.
Answer: Dune (1984)
But no amount of moons could save David Lynch's epic sci-fi folly.
Hit the road
Whose car is that burning a trail towards us?
Answer: Mad Max (1979)
It's Mad Max's Interceptor, gliding over the end-days tarmac. Good work if you got that one...
By the light of the moon
It might look like an inscrutable block of basic shapes and colour, but this is also one of the most recognisable film posters of all time.
Answer: ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Surely you got that one - it's the huge moonlight-silhouetted bike ride on the marketing for blockbuster smash ET.
Life, capricious life
What seasonal classic is lurking beneath the squirts of colour on this blurred poster?
Answer: It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
It's Frank Capra's guaranteed Christmas tear-jerker, It's A Wonderful Life.
No free rides
Nothing easy about this one, though that slant in the title text might give the game away.
Answer: Easy Rider (1969)
It's Dennis Hopper's seminal road movie and counter-cultural masterpiece, Easy Rider.
Child's play
Not much to go on here - except maybe that ring, but it's hard to be sure exactly what that is .
Answer: The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)
Well done if you guessed the red ring was in fact Norville Barnes' multi-purpose leisure invention. You know, for kids.
Inner space
Striking graphic design, but what's the film behind the red mist and dramatic figures?
Answer: Fantastic Voyage (1966)
The answer is Richard Fleischer's biological blockbuster, Fantastic Voyage.
Top secret
A right old jumble, this one. Wait a second - is that a bow-tie?
Answer: For Your Eyes Only (1981)
It is a bow-tie, and it belongs to none other that super-agent and suave dinner dresser, James Bond.
Hard target
Low on detail, but even the abstract poster hints at a concrete landscape and a shooter...
Answer: Get Carter (1971)
...which means it can't be anything other than Brit gangland classic, Get Carter.
If it's OK by them...
The last one is a toughie, so have this clue: yes, all that yellow stuff is sand...
Answer: Gunfight At The O.K. Corral (1957)
Big pat on the back if you got this one, the poster for Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas' big shout-out hit.
