Picture this: you're photographing in the middle of the night, it's dark, and you desperately need light. So, you whip out your phone, open an app, pay some money, and boom, night becomes day thanks to a satellite in the sky that is now reflecting sunlight to your location like a bright full Moon.
I love the 85mm focal length. I feel that when I walk down the street, the 85mm look is closest to the way I see the world. It's a great focal length for portrait work, shallow depth of field, and general street photography.

Swedish one sheet for Sweet Charity (Bob Fosse, USA, 1969). Designed by René Ferracci.
I don’t know how it happened but I was very pleasantly surprised that this poster for Sweet Charity (1969), which I posted on June 23 on what would have been director and choreographer Bob Fosse’s 99th birthday, racked up over three thousand likes on my Movie Poster of the Day Instagram.
Obviously there is a lot of love out there for Fosse, not to mention star Shirley MacLaine, but I put this one down to the eye-catching design overall. It’s a Swedish poster, but surely based on a French design by the great René Ferracci, and its multicolored pinwheel of high-kicking MacLaines is a delight.
The rest of the most popular posters of Movie Poster of the Day over the last year include a number selected not for posthumous birthdays but as In Memoriams, notably for actors Robert Redford, Terence Stamp, and Tatsuya Nakadai, and the artist Tony Stella. Half the posters were for new or recent films, which is always pleasing, including two brilliant pieces of fan art by Alessandro Montalto a.k.a. Nocturnal Layouts, for Backrooms (2026) and One Battle After Another (2025).
I’m not including posters that I posted as collabs, since those skew the like counts, but with the help of the fanbases of artist and activist Shepard Fairey and producer Rosario Dawson, Fairey’s poster for the Amy Goodman biopic Steal This Story, Please! (2025) was MPoD’s second most popular poster of the past twelve months.
Here, in gently descending order, are the other nineteen most popular posters of the past twelve months on MPoD. Feast your eyes, and please like and follow.
