I give you a very classy example: Casablanca

If you switch off your screen and use NVDA or VoiceOver and navigate to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_(film)

Please go to the first film poster on the wiki and read the ALT attribute. Does
it create any image in your head? Does it give you a sense of the flair of the
film?

I'm someone who is blind and who goes regularly to the cinema. I take the
description of film posters as part of my decision of going into a particular
screening. It will be the same for the decision if I want to press play on the
<video/> element. But most importantly it's a very important information which
puts you into a particular expection mood for a film. Why should someone who is
blind be excluded?
