It's to bad, but the neon movie poster from Drive http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/ isn't on IMDb.
I was in doubt about Enter the Void. I thought the letters aren't really neon. But I put the image back in the list.

#15 might be too inappropriate, I would suggest removing it.

Perhaps you could use a different image for #21, it doesn't crop very well.

I removed #15. I agree, although I liked the poster and the neon in it.
I changed the image for Atomic Blonde.
It seems that 7 other poster doesn't crop well. The neon text at the bottom is cut off.
That's really pity, but I don't want to remove these. I think I will mention it in the description.

'Some cool posters. My vote would probably go to Brazil, although there are a few others that I really like so I'm undecided. I never realized neon could look so cool. 

There are a few issues with some of the images:
The photo for #27 cuts off practically all of the neon, and it doesn't seem to be a cropping issue but a problem with the image itself so you might want to omit it altogether.

The others are just an issue of rearranging: #1 and #4 probably wouldn't crop well, and cropping is most important in the first five, so I'd moving those two out of the first five and replacing them with #6 and #10, which would probably crop well. #2 gets cut off so I'd suggest moving that out of the top five, as well, and replacing it with 12, 15, or 23. Oh, a pretty good way to see how things would crop (approximately) is to view the list in grid mode just to see how the images would look. You'll see three little icons on the bottom right hand corner of the introductory part of the list: the grid icon is first, I believe. Just remember to change it back to "list" mode after seeing how things crop in the grid. :)

Thanks!
I found some good posters (from the same movies) which seems to crop better. A drawback is that the posters are less familiar and maybe less pretty.
I removed The Cobbler (2014) and Afternoon Delight (2013).
I picked 5 good posters for the first 5.
Maybe you can look at it again. I like to know what you think.

Hoekkie,

The first five images now crop fine. Most of the remaining crop OK.

You may wish to change the title from:
Movie Posters with NEON Letters

To:
Movie Posters With Neon Letters

Neon is an element, not an acronym.

Thanks! I corrected the title.
I looked at the list with your link. If I'm correct, I have to look at the left and right side.
And the bottom will cut off I suppose. So, Killer Joe doesn't crop well I see.

You're welcome, Hoekkie. :) I think the list looks great. I absolutely love the new images for Dreamland and Blood Simple. In terms of cropping, Dan's the master of that, and many other IMDb things, so if he says they crop well, they do. I looked at the grid view anyway and, wow, they do crop really well and look great. 'Such great posters! You chose really good ones.

The grid view with the poster format is only relevant for the first five images (for the purpose of the homepage widget). Since your first five images are regular posters, they naturally fit.

The polls themselves use square thumbnails, so posters are cut off, but you have adjusted for that with your image choices, including the one for Killer Joe.
