Over at 50 Watts, a must-follow tumblr (and everything else), a splendid collection of 30 Japanese movie posters from the 1930s to the 1970s.

While a number of these are for Japanese films you may not have seen, others promote classic American films you probably know and love. Below: "Fantastic Voyage," "Play it Again Sam," "Repulsion," and "The Birds."
