"If you've watched any movies or television made recently, you may have started to wonder: Where have all the opening credits gone? These days, filmmakers seem to think that if the audience isn't immediately thrown into the action of a movie, they'll get bored, turn it off, & find something else. But a great opening credits sequence is something of a lost art. It's indulgent, yes, and it forces the audience to sit there and look at a bunch of names for two or three minutes, but a really good title sequence can set the tone for the rest of the proceedings & allow the members of the audience to gradually submerge themselves into the world of the story. Opening titles used to be everywhere, & the best ones would get creative with the form, using the allotted minute or two to fully generate a movie's vibe using nothing but colors, abstract images, & creative fonts. Every single one of these opening sequences will make you want to watch the rest of the movie immediately." - screencrush.com
