In Gotham, movies for the most part have a "poster" (typically from a scraped URL or a local file of moviefilename-poster.jpg) and if that is missing, it will fallback to a "thumb" (typically a captured still frame from the movie file), and if that is missing it will fallback to an "icon" set by the skin. They should be set when you scrape the movie. If for some reason they didn't, you can enter the info screen for any movie and from there set the poster and thumb art manually. If there isn't any remote (URL) or local art available, you can create your own poster using the file naming convention, or use the artwork downloader addon (requires movies to each be in their own folders).
