Revisiting the Seinfeld Movie Posters

It's been far too long since I revisited Seinfeld and today has yielded an excellent reminder of just why this show is so revered, and why it ought to find its way to the top of my Netflix cue for a marathon re-watch.

Seinfeld was famously "a show about nothing." Really, though, more often than not, Seinfeld was about the details; the small, strange, minutia of life that we all notice, but don't necessarily talk about. Seinfeld pulled out those daily oddities and examined them: the close talker, the difference between nougat and cookie, and the strange, silly, absurd titles and taglines that Hollywood so often gives movies. From time to time, the gang would find themselves out at a movie, with Larry David himself voicing the characters off-screen, and while at the Cineplex, we'd be granted a view of some of the faux posters that the writing team had come up for imagined upcoming films.

In keeping with this era of reboots, NextMovie has taken the time to "recast" these classic Seinfeld posters with today's stars. Take a look and let us know which is your favorite in the comments section below. Mine is Blimp.
