The Best Opening Credits

Opening credits in movies, and in TV shows, are a dying art. They once were a much-anticipated small show in themselves. The opening credits for the original Hawaii 5-0, or Have Gun, Will Travel, or Star Trek, or The Twilight Zone, or the Maurice Binder-designed credits for the early Bond films were part of the show! In today's ADD world, the credits are usually treated as necessary, but a nuisance, and are superimposed, sans compelling anthemic theme (today, more like Muzak) over the Act 1 action. What opening credits speak to you?

For me:

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. A re-imagining of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song that is much more heavy on the bass than the guitar, but nonetheless an anthem about Vikings for a story set in Sweden, with graphical accompaniment that's a combination of Hellraiser and Event Horizon. I love it.

Goldfinger. Best Bond theme song EVER! Shirley Bassey! Those brash trombones that hark back and tie into Monty Wolley's original Bond theme, plus those spectacular nude women whose best nude parts were denied to us.

Conan the Barbarian (the real one). "Let me tell you of the days of High Adventure!" then we segue into a Wagnerian soundtrack and images of the forging of The Sword.

How about for you?
