Sometimes, with hardly a word as the opening titles start rolling, a movie captures our attention.
So I was wondering: What movie do you think has the absolute best Opening Credits sequence?
Before you vote: Be sure to check out ALL the title sequences. Don't judge based on the film itself; Simply the opening title sequence.
Here is my list of the Top Opening Credit Sequence in a movie:
Ginger Snaps~~ I picked up this lovely little B-Rate werewolf film, thinking it was going to be pure crap. But then this wonderful little title sequence starts rolling. The two main sisters in the film photograph themselves in various forms of death and suicide, while this haunting score plays in the background. Was it foreshadowing events to come?
Ginger Snaps Opening
Edward Scissorhands ~~ I do wish I could have found the opening sequence to this film. The beautiful score by Danny Elfman, and images of cookie cutters and scissors highlight this delightful opening.
Se7en ~~ David Fincher knows how to create a wonderful opening title sequence. In Se7en, a remix of Nine Inch Nail's Closer plays as the text warps like an old film reel.
Se7en Opening
Fight Club ~~ My second David Fincher film here. We see a close-up of a fear receptor cell, then travel backward through a person's brain and out of a pore in the forehead, until we're looking down the barrel of a gun that's pointed in said person's mouth. Pure brilliance.
Fight Club Opening
Snatch ~~ I just love these opening titles....
Snatch Opening
Dawn of the Dead (The 2004 Remake) -- You can't deny how utterly chilling this title sequence was.
Dawn of the Dead Opening
Pulp Fiction ~~ This movie almost didn't go on my list, but after thinking about it, I realized that it really was a memorable movie sequence. So here you go... The opening to Pulp Fiction:

So what do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Have another awesome Title Sequence you think should be on the list? Do tell!
