These are two quotes from the thread about Polish poster art in general.

Let`s narrow it down to film posters.
Guess what American films are represented by these posters.
Now, looking at them, I realise they were on in communist times. Poland was certainly the merriest barracks in Warsaw Pact block. We could watch films which Soviets or Czechs could only hear about on foreign radio stations. E.g, The Great Escape with Steve McQueen was shown only in Poland and Romania - see the collection of posters from different countries, among them Polish and Romanian

Most films were brought 2 or 3 years after their premiere, e.g., Zelig was released in 1983 and I remember watching it in 1986 (after I passed my entrance exam, I went to the cinema and saw 3 films on one day, it was my record).
Some films were imported in the year of release in the West (The Return of the Jedi) and others a dozen years after their premiere: Rosemary`s Baby was shown in Poland in 1983.

we have had this polish poster of gremlins hanging in our house for a few years. i just had it re-framed and it looks so good! polish posters shop has tons of great ones, i had the hardest time picking which to post. they are all so graphic and it is fun to figure out what movie they are from.

These posters are a bit funny because a couple don't really seem to go with the movie they are advertising.
Alien
The Fly
Weekend at Bernie's
Planet of the Apes
