I liked Wonderland's opening credit sequence.

I don't have anything new to add, but I was just about to start a thread like this and decided to search first.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone.

Intermission...anyone?

Touch of Evil
North by Northwest
Double Indemnity
Lawrence of Arabia
Heat

Who made that list? The local kindergarden?

Transformers

Xmen 2 definitely

Se7en.
The music. The scenes. I love it.

Se7en is the de facto winner. Dawn of the Dead '04 is a great one too, amplified even more by the Cash song. Ed Wood and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are also fantastic.

Some other unmentioned favorites:

The Last Boy Scout (with the "Friday Night's a Great Night for Football" number and an opener completely mocking of the old late 80's/early 90's Monday Night Football intro)

Streets of Fire (badass Ry Cooder music over black and opening titles, opening scene, then another badass Cooder piece with Warriors-style transitions and some cool freeze frames)

Crank (nothing after the title, but the 8-bit graphics plus "Metal Health" make it worthwhile)

Any Lynch opener (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: FWWM, and Mulholland Dr. stand out)

The Big Lebowski ("The Man in Me" and some great Coen/Deakins camerawork gliding over the bowling alley. Also, that one fat bowler doing the ridiculous dance when he gets a strike)

Do the Right Thing (Rosie Perez dancing over "Fight the Power")

I have always liked Charade...kind of weird in a time capsule sort of way. And The Kingdom with the Saudi time line...that was in the beginning right?

Why no love for Catch Me If You Can? They are cool and a great tune to go with it.

I also second Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Shoot'em Up's closing credits are almost identical.

And my two favorite TV credits are Hawaii Five-O and The Sopranos (duh, Jersey Boy here)

Agreed. Those frozen 70's style shots with simple white text are fantastic.

I may have missed it but ...

No mention of Ichi the Killer titles? I mean for god's sake the title of the movie RISES OUT OF A PUDDLE OF MAN GOO! How is that not both a)disgusting and b) unforgettable?

[Beavis and Butt-head]Huh-huh, man goo.[/Beavis and Butt-head]

David Cronenberg's Crash

Contempt.

I love the openings for:

Fight Club
Seven
Lord of War
T2

And think that the following should be considered:

Point Break
Cape Fear
Hannibal
Interview with the Vampire (The tracking shot over San Francisco is just excellent)
Paris, Texas
Psycho
Sexy Beast
The Terminator
Dirty Harry (A great sequence that sets up an awesome movie)
The Shining
Universal Soldier (OK so its a cheesy movie....but kinda cool opening)

I thought of this also....but its not really the credits. You have the nightcrawler sequence in the White House afte the credits have rolled. The credits with the graphics of the mutant gene are fine....but its too similar to what was used in the first movie....and i don't think it was anything too spectacular.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

Another one, not sure if it's been mentioned:

I had forgotten how good this one was. Thanks!

That's wonderful! Is the movie that good?

Fight Club
Lawrence Of Arabia
The Matrix
City of God
Se7en

Nice. I guess you agree that 70's style frozen shots and Charade are indeed awesome?

Hell yes. And the beginning of The Kingdom.

Very, even though its part 3 of a trilogy, you don't really need to see the others before hand. Oldboy is def. highly recommended.

Watched Oldboy and Lady Vengeance, not Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. So I definitely viewed them out of order.

Is this specifically credit sequences or opening sequences, because if it is the 2nd, then any list not including Sam Fuller's The Naked Kiss is worthless.
