Motion pictures have been the most popular and universal form of entertainment for both the young and old alike. Today’s list on our Logo Design Blog ranks the best movies in the history of cinema on the basis of their cultural impact, longevity, critical recognition and cinematic influence, and showcases their original artwork or posters. It might be difficult to digest for the fans of today’s heavy on special effects, one-dimensional movies (à la Twilight), but we really hope it’s a balanced, wise and fair list!
