(In response to my previous post ‘A great beginning‘ I’ve collected a couple more examples of great movie introductions)

The opening sequence of a movie definitely has to set the right tone; here are some of the most unforgettable.

Trainspotting

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Pulp Fiction

Catch me if you can

Fight Club (bad audio - couldn’t find a better version)

Snatch

That’s all I could think of for now, any other recommendations?

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. To tell the best stories, you have to ensure you have taken your audience captive; and this is a great example of an introduction that does just that. Here the careful balance between typography, animation, film, and careful timing create a stellar example of a great movie introduction.

The Kingdom

The use of typography in the introduction of The Kingdom reminded of this must see video for all typography buffs:
