YOUR 5 BEST TITLE SEQUENCES

[NEON MERCURY]

I was checking the archives and did not see this asked before.

5)  Se7en-it's damn cool and creepy...great setup for the film

4)  Jackie Brown-neat 70's vibe with Pam  stroll'n across 100 and tenth street
                         also my personal fav film by Mr. T.

3)  Memento-it speaks for itself

2)  Full Frontal-I have never seen something like that before...props for          
                      originality

1)  Requiem for a Dream- it  is the encompassment of what (imo) a title
                                      sequence should be...cool titles and  great music
                                       that is all I  need

An excellent thread!

I wanna be more broad and go for 'best openings'

I like:

Natural Born Killers
A Clockwork Orange
Requiem For A Dream
The Thin Red Line
The Doors

Raging Bull. Oh man, that was great.

Let's stick to title sequences for this thread:

1.) Seven (gets you in the mind of the John Doe long before he even shows)
2.) Psycho (great score to accompany the parallel bars that suggest duality)
3.) West Side Story (the end credits; so simple - graffitti on street signs - yet so effective)
4.) Casino (beautiful neon imagery)
5.) Clockers (it's use of crime scene photos is so powerful)

some of your best work yet Mac..


for some reason i dug North By Northwest alot

[Born Under Punches]

Five that rip:

1 - Goodfellas - Simple, yet effective
2 - Fight Club - Riding the Brain Train
3 - Do the Right Thing - Rose Perez and Public Enemy: classic
4 - La Femme Nikita - love the Luc Besson intros
5 - Enter the Dragon - just love the Lalo Schrifin music and Jim walking badass

[RegularKarate]

Superman (the first one... just gets you pumped for the movie), though it's probably not as good without the intro (sorry Mac)
Rocky (same deal)
Run Lola Run
Magnolia

I guess my favorite title sequences are the ones that fit into the into real well.

I love the 1967 best picture winner title intro (giving imdb.com some hits here)

THE 400 BLOWS
BAND OF OUTSIDERS
JULES AND JIM
MAGNOLIA
HAPPY TOGETHER
CQ
BATTLE ROYALE

THE 400 BLOWS

You know what, am I crazy to say that Jarmusch's Down by Law has similar title sequences to The 400 Blows?

vertigo vertigo vertigo

and i hate to say it but -- the one for signs was pretty nice, i thought

[Born Under Punches]

The slo-mo walk of the main characters of Reservoir Dogs going right to Mr. Orange shot in the belly.  How could I forget that one.

[xerxes]

don't know if this really counts... but the chapter titles thingies for breaking the waves were amazing.
