ArtOfTheTitle.com - The Art Of The Title Sequence

The title sequence of any motion picture is a piece of art in itself. It has to grab the viewer by the collars and say in unequivocal terms “You will watch this until the end”. There are many movies that are famous mostly because of the title sequences they have, in the same way that computer games like “Barbarian” were celebrated owing to their covers, or that albums like Keith Moon’s “Two Sides Of The Moon” still keep collectors flocking to them years after they were released.

It only makes sense that sites like this one exist. Here, you can find everything about title sequences – IE, the ones that have been more popular, why they have become so famous, what went into their creation and so forth.

These can be readily looked up by way of the provided index. They are all movies whose introductions are bound to be remembered for generations of film lovers to come. I mean, who can forget the title sequence of “The Untouchables” and the mood in conjured up? What about recent movies like “300” and “This Is England”? And that is not counting classics like “Taxi Driver” and “To Kill A Mockingbird”. There are even anime titles like “Cowboy Bebop” included.

By way of conclusion, the site will appeal both to movie lovers and those who are in the creative industry. The former will relive lots of memories, whereas the latter will find out how to introduce their works to the public in the best light of all.

“Remember when your heart sank just a little when you realized the Pink Panther movie wasn’t a cartoon? Then, only a few years later, seeing Edward Gorey’s eerily fantastic opening to “Mystery!” capped with Vincent Price’s name on a headstone had your head spinning at the thought of the kind of stories those etchings could tell…if only the show was based on those illustrations. Well, we want to see more of that. So watch and remember and create. And if you’ve got something to contribute, send it along.”

The site stands as a true repository of some of the finest works of art the audiovisual industry has ever seen.

Is there a site that does the opposite as this one, IE list the worst title sequences that have surfaced over the years?
