#9. Jaws
This poster has the look of a pulp-era fiction magazine cover (e.g. Weird Tales), yet its imagery falls squarely within the realm of realism. The depicted scene is a masterpiece of dramatic irony, with the bullet-headed shark shooting straight up towards the oblivious swimmer. Also, the red-white-and-blue color scheme signals that the horror of Jaws is as American as a trip to the beach in summertime.

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.
