Best movie title sequence(s)

[Cheapogit]

Not all movies have one, but which do you like??

I think Soylent Green has a corker...

Edit: Here it is, I know there's not much to it, but the images and music all works for me:

Se7en is one of my favorites

And pretty much any sequence by Kyle Cooper.

Wired article about some of his work here.

Se7en is one of my favorites

David Fincher films always seems to have good opening sequences. Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo both come to mind, though I do think Se7en is definitely the better of the group.

Lord of War is one of my favorites. It was and is such an underrated film, IMO.

Touch of Evil
Pulp Fiction
Vertigo
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Have been thinking about this more this afternoon and a James Bond film should definitely be considered. Probably Goldfinger?

Touch of Evil
Pulp Fiction
Vertigo
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

All top notch choices above. Once Upon A Time in the West is also great. Fincher blew me away both in the opening and closing credits of Seven....

One that comes to mind as it hit me when I saw it in the theater - finishes with the last guy on Earth you would expect at the end of an Orson Welles homage (Touch of Evil)..

Kyle Cooper created the title sequence for Se7en.

Early in his professional career, Cooper worked as a creative director at R/GA - an advertising agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles. During this period, Cooper created the title sequence for the 1995 American crime film Se7en, a seminal work which received critical acclaim and inspired a number of younger designers. According to Cooper, at the time he made the title sequence for Seven, main title sequences were behind of what was happening in print, music videos and commercials. He wanted to create main titles that were raising the bar creatively.

Good article here.

Thanks Chris, for the article and the correction! I should know better than to assume director created title sequence.

Another pick - The original Pink Panther series (not the Martin soiled-diaperesque travesty) were extremely memorable, killer score and clever and fun enough to spawn a whole cartoon.

No disrespect intended, I was merely presenting the facts.

Its a little obvious, but what can be more iconic than the Star Wars intro?
