I was watching catch me if you can last week. Superb animated title sequence involving CIA/FBI type figures sneaking around. Enhanced by catchy 'sneaking around' type tune!

 

[Icy Gull]

Don't actually understand the question

 

[The Large One]

My partner's cousin did the opening sequence to Goldeneye, and in fact all the Pierce Brosnan James Bond films. Daniel Kleinman for all you film buffs.

Prefer the simple opening title sequence to The Italian Job, with a Ferrari, winding mountain roads, and the mellow 'On Days Like These' sung by Matt Monro.

JAMES BOND!!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its the start of the film with the title intro before the film actually starts for proper , comprende ?.

 

[Artois]

Catch me if you can had a shit title sequence IMHO. If you're going to count the crappy cartoon genre then surely Honey, I shrunk the kids should be there too.



I thought the start to Panic Room was superb, the words seemed to stand out from the screen.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Se7en is the best title sequence of all time for me, good choice.

 

[Easy 10]

I like the Bond ones. You can see nipples and camel feet sometimes.

I'd add Trainspotting to the list..."choose life". Marvellous.
And maybe Lock Stock. "Come on love, no good standing there like one o' clock half struck. Thats it, one foot in front of the other, your body will follow".

Everybody be cool this is a
robbery!

Any of you fuckin' pricks move and
I'll execute every one of you
motherfuckers! Got that?


Yup, Pulp Fiction gets the vote

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Donnie Darko

Where he's riding down the hill with The Killing Moon as the soundtrack.

Superb.

 

[Marc]

Jaws was/is pretty damn cool, wish I'd seen that at the cinema first time round

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Jaws superb

Scream was quite good in an american teenagey kind of way!

 

[Turkey]

The recent Bond's have brilliant starts.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Was the Fugative train crash a title sequence?.That was superb.

 

[Vinyl Richie]

Austin Powers is dancerific

 

[Gwylan]

That lengthy single take at the start of Touch of Evil. Widely regarded as the best ever and still amazes me.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Austin Powers is dancerific

i was just about to put that!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Some people do not have a full grip on the understanding of title sequences, Never mind if we extend it to best beginnings I would like to nominate Contact with the most awesome cinematography of travel from Earth to the outer reaches of the solar system. Watch it , it will blow you away and Close Encounters.

As it's become best beginnings rather than title sequences, I'd like to add:

The Player. The characters talk about the longest tracking shot in movie history during one that's actually longer.

Apocaclypse Now. The titles come at the end. So the entire movie is, technically, an opening sequnce.
