I love this. Someone noticed that movie posters are always the same and collected them to prove it. Some of the design clichés are hilarious, like Tiny People On the Beach With Giant Heads in the Clouds or Legs Wide Spread.
These are some of my favourites, but you can find many more here. [ONTD via BomoArts]

The people or something else between widespread legs.
Tiny people on a beach with giant heads in the clouds.
Freaking big eye.
