I like to go even before….. I dont want to miss the ads…. some child like fascination for seeing them on the big screen – all 60 secs and all

Wow! I see I’m not the only one trying to shoo people to silence when the lights go off in theaters!

Anita, I’d love to see the presentation! Fistful of Dollars is a classic, just like other Sergio greats! I’m also a big fan of the James Bond openings.

Ruchita, we must exchange notes! There are tons more that I haven’t mentioned here.

hi charles. this is a really superb subject to work on. i had done a presentation on film title sequences as project work and shocked to find out that even hindi movies have better ones. i will share that presentation if you will like to see it

The one i like is of Forest Gump. Namesake one is brilliant too. then Fistful of dollars animation titles & in the oldest of era i guess Chalti ka naam gaddi when there was no animation at all

hey charles thanks for sharing superbad & Delicatessen the rest am a fan already! And yeah i so do think that the title sequences have to and must be gripping…its half your paisa vasool don’t ya think
Opening credits of movies like Carnivale & Lord of War are also few of the super sequences that i have seen…there’s a story in itself.
