The Empire Strikes Back. 1980.
"Episode V," the crawl begins. This is it: the original "Empire Strikes Back" poster you saw framed outside the cinema, or inside in the moviehouse corridor, that you'd spy from the corner of your eye while getting popcorn. Let there be no mistake: the Force is with this one. It still carries the "aura": unwrap it – delicately! – and whether you were a kid or a parent, you will be teleported back to that moment in 1980, as the John Williams trumpets begin. John Kastel, the artist of this superb montage, created the immortal film poster for "Jaws" as well.
