    Hey anyone know or have the font that is used for film posters for their credits section at the bottom?

    That's kind of a hard question, since the font varies. For example, Blade Runner is different than Back to the Future which is different than The Thing.
    The font is really up to you, I guess.

    The one I use is "SF Movie Poster Condensed". I tend not to condense it as much as I should for true movie-poster accuracy though, I just use the default width and I sort of like it even though it's wrong.

    I think I've generally just used Times New Roman, or Arial.. nothing too fancy and is still easily readable in the "fine print" section.
    The problem I usually have is figuring out exactly what should go there, so I don't have to put the same 2-3 names in a dozen times.

    Actually, the font DOESN'T vary much these days. If you look at movie posters made in the last twenty years (i.e. none of those), you'll notice that they're almost entirely standardized in the "credits" section, and they all look mostly like what you see in the poster for "The Thing".
