#12. American Psycho
The tagline and the image work in tandem here to form a pointed double entendre (the reflection of the homicidal maniac's handsome visage in the knife blade is a great touch). Also, the blacking out of Christian Bale's eyes works as a perfect symbol of his character's soullessness. Even the presentation of the film title at the bottom of the poster--half shiny, half shadowy--underscores American Psycho's central theme of duplicity.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
