Film posters are there to promote motion pictures. As such, they’re typically focused on the greatest demographic – that’s, straight males. So that you’ll typically see barely dressed ladies, or {couples}.
However when you suppose again on among the well-known film posters from current a long time, and all you’ll be able to bear in mind is the new man that was on the poster – effectively, you’re in all probability homosexual (or no less than bi.).
Listed here are among the posters that did it for us.
1. Titanic (1997)
Our younger readers in all probability don’t bear in mind this, however there was a time, approach again when, through which Leonardo DiCaprio was extraordinarily handsome. Titanic marked the head of that completely happy period, due to this fact, no respecting homosexual man even observed Kate Winslet on the poster.
2. Superman: The Film (1978)
The unique, and greatest Superman. Whereas it’s true that Henry Caville is nice trying, and Brandon Routh was form of cute, Christopher Reeve tops all of them. It’s not simply the Reeve himself was good trying – his character was such a beacon of affection and goodness, that each teen boy at the moment dreamed of flying away in his muscular arms.
3. The Blue Lagoon (1980)
Whereas half the world had been happening and on about Brooke Shields, Christopher Atkins was in fact the spotlight for the remainder of us. A film a couple of (straight) younger couple discovering their sexuality, Atkins, as he seems on this poster, was in all probability one of many world’s first “twinks”. Oh, and that is what he regarded like when The Blue Lagoon Turned 35!.
4. Interview With The Vampire (1994)
Tom Cruise was accountable for lots of sleepless nights throughout the 80’s and 90’s (And regardless of what many suppose – I believe he’s nonetheless good seeking to this present day). High Gun was the better-known film, however Interview With The Vampire had homoerotic undertones (lower than the ebook it’s based mostly on, sadly), which made it a complete lot sexier. And that tremendous tag line… Tom Cruise is inviting you to drink from him!
5. Studio 54 (1998)
The film was form of annoying, however the poster (this model belongs to the soundtrack) reminded us why it’s nonetheless a good suggestion to look at it: Ryan Phillippe was hotness personified again then, and for that alone, the film was 2 hours of pure pleasure.
6. Batman Eternally (1995)
OK, so the film was fairly dangerous. Perhaps not the WORST Batman, however, yeah, dangerous. Then once more – the younger Chris O’Donnell was sizzling again then, his robin-suit had abs, and even nipples… what’s to not like?
7. My Personal Personal Idaho (1991)
So OK, when you had been all for 1991 in a film about male hustlers (solely one among whom was “formally” homosexual although), there’s a great probability you WERE homosexual. However we’re right here to speak about posters – and on this one, you get two hunks for the value of 1 – the cheeky Keanu Reeves, and the attractive, late River Phoenix.
8. Struggle Membership (1999)
I’ve to confess, I used to be by no means a giant Brad Pitt fan (blasphemy, I do know). But when ever he was sizzling in a film and on a poster – it was in Struggle Membership.
9. Pace (1994)
There’s a freaking bus leaping out of the hearth in that poster. So why are you solely noticing Keanu Reeves, in his days as a good-looking, muscular motion star?
10. John Carter (2012)
A boring film (and a giant flop), it tried to be a giant fantasy film and failed on virtually each rely. The posters, nonetheless, had been OK – as a result of we by no means need to miss an opportunity at seeing Taylor Kitsch shirtless.
11. No Strings Hooked up (2011)
Ashton Kutcher, as an actor, is an acquired style. However even those that can’t stand his antics, should admit he’s sizzling – a cute, twinkish face with a well-built physique. This romantic comedy got here and went, however the poster is marvelous – Kutcher in mattress, his shirt open, no pants… want I’m going on?
12. Pompeii (2014)
Everybody loves Jon Snow, however Package Harrington is but to search out his path as a profitable film actor. Pompeii was not the reply, however he appears nice on the poster, so OK.
