Hopefully not too spammy, but maybe some of you would enjoy our Instagram account '70s Movie Poster Typography'. We look at a different movie poster from the 70s every day, identify and discuss the typefaces (when possible), with a general emphasis on 70s ITC fonts, and a slight slant towards classic horror.

Wonderful! A combination of some of my favourite movies (some of 'em a guilty pleasure) with some of my favourite fonts! (Also some of 'em a guilty pleasure ...)0

I love your selections and commentary, but I find Instagram suboptimal for showcasing posters because of the low resolution and square (or nearly square) format. I understand that’s where the users are, but Twitter+Flickr might be a better combination for the imagery. If married to Instagram, try doing carousel (set) posts with closer crops to show various parts of each poster along with the complete object.7
