A great beginning

I always have been a fan of clever movie title sequences, and when I watched The Kingdom I couldn’t help but marvel the amazing opening credits.

Here the careful balance between typography, animation, film, and careful timing create a stellar example of a great movie introduction.

    And ‘Bullit’ (with Steve McQueen), this is definitely one of favourites:
