10 Ridiculous International Movie Posters

10. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (Poland)

Steven Spielberg's cynical telecoms commercial masquerading as an interstellar buddy romp captured the imagination of 1982 movie-goers to such an extent that it held a magic touch on the top of the box office for six weeks, eventually surpassing Star Wars as the highest grossing film of all time.

No doubt this was helped by E.T.'s now iconic original poster. The magical, mystical image depicting Elliot and his eponymous alien silhouetted before the moon, in velo, inspired questions just begging to be answered - specifically, by a movie ticket.

Unless you lived in Poland, that is. All that mysticism was replaced by a grotesque illustration of the blockbuster's famous star, who, minus context, basically looks like a deformed wrinkly wang. E.T. bone home.
