Nice selections except that you should have included Apocalypse Now. Not only a great movie but a spectacular poster.

I never realised how good these movie posters were!
If I had to choose the best, it’d be Black Hawk Down. Very emotional and gripping image there.

They are great posters and great movies. When you put them all together on one page a theme appears.
Recipe for a war movie poster:
1 sunset/sunrise horizon shot, more sky than land
1-3 faint watermarks overlaying the entire image
1-2 people in the distance, just silhouettes – can be substituted for close up shot of injured actor.
optional – include a weapon
Finally, adjust the hues to either warm the photo or cool it down
Outcome -one great poster!
