Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense (1984) The most memorable sight in Jonathan Demme's acclaimed concert film of Talking Heads was David Byrne's Big Suit -- drawn by the singer on a napkin, created as an oversized emblem of mundanity, then put to great use on the movie poster in a photo by Adelle Lutz. For the soundtrack LP, her shot graced a picture booklet that was shrink-wrapped around the black-and-white cover. -- JC
