Below are a selection of some of the film opening sequences that caught my attention.

Austin Powers 3 (Goldmember)
Toy Story 1
Toy Story 2
Irreversible
Irreversible finished the movie with opening credits, somehow adding to your sense of discomfort.Trying as hard as possible to be backwards, Irreversible hit you with all the nasty stuff up front, then eased off... somehow, watching the idyllic end (beginning?) of the movie didn't make any of it better...
Lord of War (Life of a Bullet)
I feel that this trailer is visually pleasing, a perfect opening for a film about an arms dealer.
Catch Me If You Can
This is a retro animated intro which i feel perfectly sets the scene and time period.
Se7en
A wonderfully creepy title sequence that perfectly sets the mood for the film your about to watch.
Superbad
object width="320" height="265">
I feel it is very simple, but works well using the symplistic silhouettes whilst expressing so much personality through them.
Casino Royale (2006)
Charade
There were loads of animated opening sequences in the 60's but for me this is one the better ones.
Sweeney Todd
A lot of Tim Burton's films title sequences are fantastic, but i feel that Sweeney Todd is one of his best. I feel that the creepy atmosephere and music combined
with the dark imagery sets the tone perfectly.
Pink Panther (1963)
Thank You For Smoking
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Another great example of a contemporary film featuring an old school animated sequence.
Panic Room
This is a David Fincher Movie title sequence. It is a very basic concept yet i feel its brilliantly executed.
Dr.Strangelove
The Imagery with the handwritten text makes it very individual.
Eurotrip
I think this one is creative and a well-executed title sequence.
American Splendor
Spiderman 2
