I'd love the Czech Chinatown! It would be a great gift for a friend who's a big fan (She does environmental policy on water rights) and also a graphic designer.
I guess if winners are chosen at random I don't need to explain any more?
tough call between the two ... nah, what am I saying ... classic Chinatown all the way!
Wow, I love the Chinatown poster. I guess I need to see a closeup on the vendor's web site because I can't figure out what's going on with that woman's eye. It looks like a chemical burn or nasty eye infection. And it looks like the gentleman in the upper-left corner is wearing a thick coat of zinc oxide on his nose. I'm intrigued!
This would make my husband ( the "cinephile") wildly happy.
I'd go for the OCEAN'S 11 because my daughters birthday is 1/11 and she would love the great graphic RED 11.
yes yes! sehr schoen. :)
The Chinatown poster in Czech is incredible. It is so intricate and would be truly wonderful in my home. Love it!

They're so edgy and sophisticated at the same time.

Both are fantastic and while the Chinatown poster looks like an actual piece of art, I would pick the Ocean's 11 poster.
Woohoo. Chinatown definitely. Yep.
