Best Opening Credits

[Milord V]

Just watching Monsters Inc. and realised how much I love the opening sequence. The music is great and the animation is beautiful, so got me thinking about some great opening credits.

Anybody have any they love off the top of their heaRAB?

Special mention to Zombieland too, with the slow motion Zombie attacks

I love Beetlejuice's opening credits.

I also like the opening credit to Little Shop Of Horrors, but I think that's more for the song and show:

Austin powers 3 cameos opening was pretty good.

I've always loved Marvel's opening credits for their films which shows quick montages of comic images rushing past eachother with an intriguing music score,An example is the one from Spiderman:

Not sure i'd say Star Wars are the best but they are very memorable.

 

[Gloom Midori Hikkuko]

Agreed, whenever I hear the 20th Century Fox fanfare, I always think that the Star Wars theme tune is going to blast out .

Touch of Evil

 

[TaRawr]

As a diver the openng credits to Fools Gold had me in stiches

 

[Vishnu]

Another memorable one is The Godfather.
Black screen, the start of the music and the distinctive font.

 

[Asgehgsj]

Toy Story 2

Also Superman, the theme tune gives me goosebumps, its effin awesome

 

[Red Flag]

I love the start of Raiders Of The Lost Ak, with that brilliant music by the master, John Williams.
Jaws is also superb. Music by...erm.....John Williams !!

Have to agree with Eddie Badger on the Bullit titles. Never thought much of the film, but the titles are incredibly good, so I never bought the film, just have the titles downloaded from youtube! Bought the score plenty of times though, Schifrin IS the man!

 

[Flyinghorse]

Watchmen, a work of art.

 

[Airmiles]

Lalo Schifrin also wrote the brilliant music for the brilliant "Enter The Dragon" starring Bruce Lee.
