If you were to pick out posters from the most iconic films of all time, what would they be? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm in the process of renovating our basement for use as a home theater, and I have space to put up eight distinct movie posters. I plan on commissioning posters through an artist that I like so that they will all have a shared art style and appearance, so the look of the official movie poster doesn't matter to me. What I'm trying to do is select eight of the most iconic films of all time, across these genres:

Action/Adventure
Comedy
Drama
CGI/3D Animation
2D Animation
Science Fiction
Mystery/Thriller (Not horror)
Fantasy

So, if you were to pick out a set like this, which would you choose?

Visually, 2d animation posters cant be more iconic than AKIRA. And for sci fi, Jurassic Park really is on another level of iconic. You recognise the franchise style easily and it's been around for decades.

As for the other categories, I don't have such strong opinions but I'll try:

Indiana Jones -The Mask
Casablanca
The Incredibles
Akira
Jurassic Park
Vertigo
The Never Ending Story

I think Toy Story would be more fitting for 3D animation.

I like that one too. I almost put that on the list instead. But yeah it's up to OP to choose what goes on their walls
