Title Sequences (split from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

[Vic Sage]

opening title sequences used to be an artform, particularly in the 60s and 70s, with the influence of pop art.
Saul Bass did many of the title sequences for Hitchcock's films and are still powerfully evocative.

My favorite title sequence ever belongs to Delicatessen.

The Pink Panther. The film launched two institutions --- the Clouseau character and his stories and the opening credit cartoons.

My mother used to let me watch The Pink Panther title sequences whenever the movies came on tv. I loved them.

It seems like, with the Bond films and Pink Panther films, the early sixties was a breakthrough era for stylish title sequences, and a lot of good latter day sequences ---- Down with Love, Catch Me if You Can, Hi Fidelity --- reference that era. Hi Fidelity's closing sequence was even better, with the credits appearing on tattered concert posters.

Fincher's titles comprise a subgenre unto themselves. This one tops Dragon Tattoo, methinks.

This one's interesting, too.

Don't forget Fincher's opening for "Fight Club." (But don't talk about Fight Club.)

Disturbing but brilliant , watch the first two minutes

My favorite title sequence is from the movie "The Loved One".
No flash and crash or dizzying graphics.
A plane lands at LAX, and star Robert Morse is seen walking toward Customs as the credits roll.
What makes this memorable is his answer to the customs agent's question about his occupation as the credits end.
I looked high and low for a video to post, couldn't find one.
But the movie is so good, I'd recommend you rent it and see for yourself.
