Cool Opening Credits

Ever notice, on a lotta old films...the opening credits are better than the movie itself? AIP had some great ones...as did Sam Sherman's IIP Productions. And of course...the master-Saul Bass!

That IS a great clip! I wish I had the opening titles to post of DEEP RED-(with the great music by GOBLIN!!!), Adamson's DRACULA vs. FRANKENSTIEN , amy of the AIP Poe films....so many...!

I love this Coffin Joe opener!!!!

Nobody's really responding to this thread but part of that may be due to not being able to find some credit sequences online. There are quite a few I would have mentioned but don't seem to be posted anywhere on the web. I'm going to bite the bullet, grab a freeware lame-o ripper and youtube some from my collection this weekend.

In the meantime, since this film falls into the 'Bad Movies' category for some people(Heathens! Wink

) I'll just go ahead and stick it here.

Ladies and gentlemen, the phenomenal Chuck Braverman opening montage from MAKE ROOM! MAKE ROOM!

What a perfect meld of images and Fred Myrow's effective jazz/pop influenced theme.

ps on a related film credits note...I found this interesting film on Saul Bass on googlevid uk:

I just searched for "Saul Bass" on youtube. These are just three I particularly liked from the first page that came up.
