Favourite Film Title Sequences?

What are your favourite film title sequences?

Believe it or not, the first movie that popped into my head when I saw the title of this thread was It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

This is great. Great use of symbolism and the typography's great as well.

There Will Be Blood.

Re: Favourite Film Title Sequences?

Psycho's a great one.

Big second to Catch Me if you Can

Machete has a great one. I saw it for the first time last night.

Se7en and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) were the first to pop in my head.

I'll second the opening of Grease as well.

Re: Favourite Film Title Sequences?

I love the Trouble Every Day opening titles. The font looks incredibly cheap and cable TV-like and yet something about the sequence (aside from the great Tindersticks song) puts me in the perfect mood to watch the movie

Another awesome one is The Departed with the title card showing up so far into the movie. This was at a point when it was becoming a trend for certain kinds of movies to skip opening titles altogether so it felt like a sly joke. I still remember almost cracking up in the theater when THE DEPARTED appeared after I'd been sitting there for like 15 minutes

From the films I've seen lately I really liked the opening credits from Prince of Darkness and The Fog.

The World is Not Enough was on yesterday and I liked what they did in the titles with the oil, which also proved to be quite versatile when they got into the multicoloured segment.

Vertigo

'The Dirties'
