Best Opening Title Sequence.

So I posted a thread in the Entertainment Discussion about the Best Opening Title Sequence to a movie, and I'd really like to hear your opinion.

Check it out:
Best Title Sequence in a Movie

Hmm....the best open sequence in my opinion, would be from Snake Eyes. The cinematography in that opening is the best I've ever seen. It's really fantastic and makes you fill as if you are right in there with the action. It definately adds to the atmosphere.

I think the title sequence to Casino Royale is brilliant because of the artistic appearance and relevance to the plotline.

I can't think of anthing else right now, but I'm sure there is something..

Hmm... I haven't seen either of those two movies.

Here were my votes, along with a link to each opening credit.


Ginger Snaps~~ I picked up this lovely little B-Rate werewolf film, thinking it was going to be pure crap. But then this wonderful little title sequence starts rolling. The two main sisters in the film photograph themselves in various forms of death and suicide, while this haunting score plays in the background. Was it foreshadowing events to come?

Edward Scissorhands ~~ I do wish I could have found the opening sequence to this film. The beautiful score by Danny Elfman, and images of cookie cutters and scissors highlight this delightful opening.

Se7en ~~ David Fincher knows how to create a wonderful opening title sequence. In Se7en, a remix of Nine Inch Nail's Closer plays as the text warps like an old film reel.

Fight Club ~~ My second David Fincher film here. We see a close-up of a fear receptor cell, then travel backward through a person's brain and out of a pore in the forehead, until we're looking down the barrel of a gun that's pointed in said person's mouth. Pure brilliance.

Snatch ~~ I just love these opening titles....

Dawn of the Dead (The 2004 Remake) -- You can't deny how utterly chilling this title sequence was.

Pulp Fiction ~~ This movie almost didn't go on my list, but after thinking about it, I realized that it really was a memorable movie sequence. So here you go... The opening to Pulp Fiction:

When the first Spiderman movie came out, I thought the opening title sequence was amazing. It got a little stale come Spiderman 3, but amazing nonetheless.

The opening to Edward Scissorhands was great too. As are any Tim Burton opening sequences.

Fight Club was brilliant because of the Narrator. I really liked how it started at the end and then came full circle at the end and we are back to the start but with knowledge of how it comes to be.

For me (but perhaps I am biased) Enchanted opening, with the ten minutes of animation. Beautiful.

I also love Cry Baby opening, all the Squares and Drapes getting vaccine shots.

All Tim Burton intros are awesome.

Amelie opening. "On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend's funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book. At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Raphaël Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine. Nine months later, Amélie Poulain was born." I just love it, I was hooked and couldn't look away for the rest of the movie.

I'll think of more later..
