The 53 Best Opening Title Sequences in All of Cinema (Collider)

The lights dim, the projector flickers to life, the audience gets their snacks ready. And the first thing we see in this exciting transformation away from reality into a big-screen fantasy? A list of names! Wahoo! Hey, where are you going?
I love the art of the opening title sequence. Not just because it's important to exalt and store away the names of those who give us our favorite pieces of filmed entertainment, but because they get us so in the mood to watch a film. It's not unlike an overture at a live musical or an appetizer before a delicious dinner.
But sometimes, in the hands of a special group of filmmakers, these opening title sequences become an elevated dish unto themselves.
