My 12 favourite local movie posters of the past decade

Restricted to movies that were commercially released here. 

I also picked only the posters used for the Malaysian release; for example, I much prefer the international festival poster of Sell Out? to what was used in Malaysia and Singapore

I have also modestly not included the posters of movies in which I served as director or producer -- although anyone can tell you that the ones for Susuk and Punggok Rindukan Bulan are bloody brilliant.



Also my nominee for Best Tagline:
"Love. Despair. Love. Despair."
Tagline goes on 2 words too long!


Pity about that horrible GSC logo.












Pity I don't have a clearer image of this;
  it captures the Gila-Gila aesthetic so well.
















Those are the 12. A special mention goes to:


Why only Special Mention? Because I initially quite liked it, and then I saw this!
