When the poster for David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo appeared on the scene more than a few eyebrows were arched in response. Why? Because you can sort of, almost, maybe see Rooney Mara's nipples and, clearly, we must never put on posters what every single human being on the planet already has on their body.

Except we have. Rather a lot. The nipple has a long and celebrated history in the world of the movie poster, appearing in advertisements for films big and small, and Vaggelis over at Greek movie website Movies For The Masses has put together an extensively gallery of examples, which you can corrupt your mind with below. If you can think of any further examples that should be included speak up in the comments section and he'll see what he can do!

There was a brief period back in the 70s (the "porno-chic" era) when porn films had explicit posters in some parts of the world and these were being displayed somewhat prominently (most often with stars pinned on the explicit parts). I didn't want to include any posters from that era, nor VHS/DVD covers.

If you look closely, included are films by Jean-Luc Godard and Claude Chabrol, and most played Venice or Cannes festivals even if it's not mentioned on the poster (Beau-pere for example, which created a big controversy in competition at Cannes and all over the world, back then). What I mean to say is that these posters have serious arthouse credit or are extremely well known, and I don't believe that's the case with any pinku film. I could be wrong, anyone care to mention any specific examples?
