1973's Charlie Varrick
Scanned from my copy of the Ft. Lauderdale News, Nov. 30, 1973. Below is an ad from the same day. I thought it was funny in looking back that both movies felt it necessary to say they were "in color," but I suppose the industry was still in transition from playing some black and white movies at the time.

1971's Zeppelin
(Click to view full-size.)
An unusual source for this ad; not from a newspaper, but from a comic book! I was going through some of my old comics in my collection and found this. Scanned from issue #14 of DC comic's "Phantom Stranger" published July 1971.

Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country
(Click on images to view full-size!)
The last of the Original Series movies with the full cast. This was clipped from the Friday, Dec. 6th, 1991 edition of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. This movie premiered only one day before the first Trek movie did, Dec. 7th, back in 1979.
Below is an interesting Trek-themed ad for the sound system in one of the theaters showing the new movie.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, dated Sunday, Feb 21st, 1954.
And, from the same day's newspaper, this photo from "Hell and High Water."
"Well, uh... I don't know..."
"We've been down here for 6 weeks. All I'm sayin' is, they don't ask, we don't tell."
REMINDER!

The Green Hornet
Clipped from the Macon Telegraph in 1974, this "movie" was merely several episodes of the 60's TV show, edited together and released theatrically to cash in on the public interest after Lee's death.

Superman: The Movie
Full-page ad scanned in from the Friday, April 6th, 1979 edition of the Miami Herald.
Think about it: a full-page ad for a movie that's been in the theater for 17 weeks? Amazing, and something you may never see again. That movie was HUGE.
