Back To The Future (1985)

Back to the Future was the biggest film of 1985, and it very nearly turned out differently. Eric Stoltz spent around five weeks playing Marty McFly before Robert Zemeckis recast the role with Michael J. Fox, who then shot Family Ties by day and the film by night. Within a year, President Reagan was quoting it in his State of the Union address.

The artwork is by Drew Struzan, the painter behind many of the defining posters of the era, from Indiana Jones to Star Wars, and his signature sits right there in the painting. This is the National Screen Service printing, numbered 850064 and folded as issued for American cinemas, made to hang in a lobby for a few weeks and then be thrown away. More than forty years on, few film posters are as instantly known.
