Best/Worst Film Poster Tag Lines
Two I like, for different reasons:

Tom Cruise (and Bryan Brown) play celebrity bartenders in "Cocktail", bringing in booming business.
The line on the poster:

"When He Pours, He Reigns"....
Whoever came up with that one...should either be shot or get an award (I'm rather amazed Morton's didn't sue.)

And "Alien", for entirely different reasons:
"In Space, Noone Can Hear You Scream".

I like the combination of simple scientific fact and one of the oldest lines in horror movies. Smartly done.

Any other that stick in anyone's minds?

C.

I think the WORSE tag line I've ever seen was in "Motel Hell". The tagline was "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters" Absolutely hysterical! I would be in the subway in NY and see that movie poster and it would crack me up. It was a horror movie with western movie actor Rory Calhoun playing a guy that would kill guests at his motel and then he and his wife would make sausages from them. A real classic family film

I don't know if it counts as a tagline or not but years ago when I was in the Coast Guard in Milwaukee, I heard a radio spot for a movie called "Island of Lost Virgins."

Lusty, busty maidens dripping with the first fruits of desire.

From the 1996 Arnold flick "Raw Deal"

"The system gave him a raw deal. Nobody gives him a raw deal."

The alternate tag line was even better: "His trigger has all the answers."

I have read that, "The Ultimate Trip" was the tagline of later releases as they discovered that many were dosing up before seeing the film.
