10 Best Opening Title Sequences of All Time

Imo Goldeneye opening credits overshadowed all the Bond intros done before and after, a special Bond opening for a special return after hiatus

it's criminal that this list didn't even mention the mission impossible title sequences. those are some of the most attention-grabbing, intense title sequences ever and have a character of their own in each film!

WHERE'S SNATCH

Exodus in the Saul Bass segment is on here, too. It was a movie in which my father was an extra.

The Andromeda Strain (1971) | OPENING TITLES (HD)

Soylent Green Opening Titles

The girl with the dragoon tattoo

The Tobey McGuire Spiderman Trilogy had the best title sequences.

Rocky Horror Picture Show's title sequence. Nothing more to say

No Seven or The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which are both superior to Fight Club. And no Wtahcmen? This list fails.

Top Gun needs to be on here

I LOVE the title sequence of Lost Highway. That super stressful fast car POV with industrial Bowie playing in the background. I could watch it all day.

You should check out The Women (1939) in which all the female's are introduced by their animal counterparts!

Vertigo or Halloween is No. 1

Really good list but there should realy be a title card Sequences from one of Sergio Leone films here.

Seven is my best....it's even sickens me

How do we ever find out who did a title sequence? This credit is missing missing missing ..

That strobe scooping title was an epileptic nightmare... Jesus I'm not epileptic and I hated it

There should be an Oscar for titles.

Godzilla

What no Star Wars. That opening scroll is iconic

I think The Matrix deserved a mention

Sorry but you guys copped out with your number one.

It’s funny that I was watching Fight Cub and then I see this video the following day.

Monsters Inc.

Catch me if you can is a weird choice, Homage at best, pastiche at worst…

Bravo for your number one pick , it made me smile.

I use the "Touch of Evil" sequence in my literature classes to illustrate the "details" element of the DIDLS literary analysis acronym. Every single detail is carefully chosen to build the tension in the sequence. I love to isolate the moment where the focus shifts from the car to the two pedestrians; then we track our focus as it shifts back and forth and back again.
When I tell the kids that this is just to set up the TITLE cards?
Well... they're teenagers. They don't care. But I still think it's impressive.

#10 is unwatchable.

Basic Instinct's opening is brilliant with the flickering orange and mysterious music by Jerry Goldsmith . Simplicity !

How can you leave out Out of Africa ?

I can’t believe you left out Cowboy Bebop. (The show’s opening sequence is also great.)

I sat through the whole essay to see if the title that impressed me at an early age would make the list--and it did, although barely: "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"! It handed me puns I wouldn't even get for the first hour! Delightful visuals!

star wars the best of all

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. How was it not mentioned AT ALL..???? Are you crazy?!

Halloween no question ask

VERTIGO!!! THE BEST opening title!!! (The music score by Bernard Hermann adding an additional genuinely beautiful/mysterious dimension to the Title sequence.)

Thanks for picking Saul Bass's "body of work", it is not fair to have to pick one example of work as the best.

Goldfinger is great

"You can f*ck right off!" 😁🤣😂 I had forgotten that part.

Omg, you can F right off! Hilarious!

"Monty Python-Holy Grail"....a llama bit my sister....'nuff said.

Best #1 pick EVER. Thank you again

One of the best yet

Saul Bass – legend. So many movies & TV shows are now rebirthing what he did in their title sequences...

Psycho/Where Eagles Dare/The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

great video, love it and learnt a lot. Just hit subscribe . lots of love maxwell

My favourite title sequences are Vertigo, A Shot In The Dark, Rosemary's Baby, Goldfinger and The Watchmen. I am surprised you didn't mention Rosemary's Baby - the idea of a subtly sickening lullaby while we watch entranced as one of the first-ever arial shots glides over gleaming New York City to end pointing directly at the front entrance of the Dakota.
It sets you up perfectly for a film about constricting fear.

Star Wars.

I like Red Dragon.

I'd have picked 2001: A Space Odyssey for best title sequence ever.
