I love all your choices here, especially Jaws and Hunger Games. The former because it's so iconic, and the latter because it's a perfect example of the power of a single image to convey the spirit of the film.
I also love the Psycho poster; It's one of my favorite movies, and I wasn't aware until recently what an impact it had on how people go to the movies. One of my all-time favorite Hitchcock posters is the one for Vertigo, again because of it's use of a powerful single image.
My own personal favorite (and this is mainly my childhood talking) is the original poster for Star Wars. Talk about iconic! There were two different versions of it; the American one by Tom Jung, and the international one by the Hildebrandt Brothers. The latter one was made in a retail version, and that was the poster that adorned my wall for years.
Drawing again from childhood, I also loved the posters for Saturday Night Fever, Logan's Run, and Grease. Saturday Night Fever is especially iconic, that WAS the 70s!
