The photos we’ve compiled below will show you what some of our favorite films looked like before we saw them on the silver screen. Most of them are actually impressive but take note, some are surprisingly pretty hilarious!

Feel free to scroll down below to see what we mean:

#4. Forrest Gump (1994)
