Opening Credits

Catch me if you Can had excellent opening credits. Signs credits was also cool, the score itself was the best this year. Spider-Man was pretty good too.

The Napoleon Dynamite credits were pretty nice. They had a really fitting song by the White Stripes.

Napolean Dynamites opening credits were so amazing they should have won an oscar.

ok are we talkin opening credits or scenes? cuz people are spouting off both anyhoo
for opening credits i thought the new dawn of the dead had the best.
opening scene would have to be american beauty or blade runner

My Man Godfrey

Not only are the opening credits entertaining and technically impressive, they even have a subtext that informs the entire rest of the film. Easily Kong's favorite credit sequence.

I know. I just said that in some other thread and it got shut out so I said it in here as a joke.

Jungle Fever doesn't get enough credit for its opening credits. I don't understand how basically the entire movie can be on youtube, but the beginning isn't unless it's some hassle over the Stevie Wonder song.

Fight Club- That opening credits sequence has the perfect music and visuals and sets up the whole movie so well.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Pink Panther

Hards to tell really,

I thought Vertigo's opening credits were incredible..for their time..quite original.

As far as modern movies go..most of them ditch the opening credits and use only the film title...but an exception to that rule and quite original too is Requiem for a Dream ...great music, great shots of coney island, great everything..

I also liked Cronenberg's Dead Ringers opening credits..with the sad music and nice background.

Killshot it is though not a new movie but its one of my best opening credit in recent times

Not sure if this is what's asked for, but the my two favourite movie openings are Star Wars and Way Of The Gun.

Men in Black, War of the Worlds, The Departed, Lord of War

I'll nominate Apocalypse Now.
It opens with one of my favorite movie monatges.

Seven is a notable mention. creativity wise i liked napolean dynamite which had nothing else going for it. The number 23 was good. cant think of any more at the moment
