I loved the opening sequence for Watchmen. It was better than the movie.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The credits for Amélie are amazing. Also, Charade and Reservoir Dogs.

I like James Bond title sequences in general.
I was gonna say: Casino Royale. And I think any Tarantino movie.

It's been so long since I've seen it, but I do believe that Beetlejuice had a fun opening credit sequence, with the camera zooming through the miniature town.

I'm in the middle of a very strange movie from the late '60s, Skidoo. The opening "credits" appear on a TV screen for about 5 seconds. Then a remote clicks, and the TV changes channels -- and that's it. No more opening credits.
I love Skidoo! The closing credits are sung by Harry Nilsson!
