6 million dollar man is pretty slick for a show in the 1970s.

i finally watched rise of skywalker last week or so, thought the intro was excellent

lasers go pew

 

[greenteaforme]

Ahh, the Tron Legacy intro. One of my personal favorites, such an underrated movie in my opinion. And regardless of what you think of the film itself, Daft Punk's soundtrack was legendary.

 

[Birdo]

Fun fact. The guy singing is Gavin Greenaway. The conductor for many Hanz Zimmer fim scores.

Bonus clip. One of the best scenes in movie history...


The sax guy also did an animated piece with GUNSHIP! And it's freaking awesome.

And just by luck, automatically following it was this on YT, which was a cool cartoon back then. Wow, looking back what a kick ass MANLY intro.



Almost forgot...... the best cartoon intro ever. Fantastic movie.

A lot of 80s and 90s cartoons had nicely animated intros (typically much better than the animation of the episodes themselves). Ghostbusters, Thundercats, TMNT to name a few

 

[Thing on a Spring]

 

[haxan7]

I dunno a better TV opening credits

 

[Cutty Flam]

Saw it for the first time yesterday, the intro, still need to watch 2 hrs of the movie to finish

Holy fuck how is Quentin Tarantino so brilliant. This is one of the most phenomenal intros I have witnessed in a while. The song is literally perfect, and the opening scene is opens up the tone very well. Straight into the conflict and action from the very start. Well done

[Makoto-Yuki]

not the opening scene but the title scene...God this is haunting

And this may not count but I've been thinking about my favorite DVD menus from back in the day

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Let's see...

TV shows :
Babylon 5 (Season 5) has to be my all time favorite. It's a great summary of the entire thing (beware, spoilers, so don't watch it) ; an amazing emotional buildup ; and musically, Chris Franke brilliantly captured both the "epicness" and the "lyricism" of the show. A very fitting and satisfying composition for this final season.



Millennium (Season 2), now that was weird.



Les Mondes Engloutis, if you're French and grew up with this, then that thing's in your DNA.



Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, damn, the 80s were amazing.

fuck you hedgehogs :

Movies :
Theatre Of Blood (1973).

 

[Slings and Arrows]

(Possibly my favourite intro because of what changes and how the intro changes based on the story-line or plot of the episode)

 

[Martinski43]

What the hell is the matter with yous people in here? All these posts and no mention of The Sopranos intro? What the actual fuck.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I love Badland's incredible intro

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Heather Thomas and Markie Post. Two hotties leading to instant boners.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Already posted, chief.

 

[UncleMeat]

Magnum PI


Full version of Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers is a pretty hot jam:


Condorman (Henry Mancini was such a badass! King of the intro themes: Pink Panther, Peter Gunn, etc..)

The first 15 minutes or so of this movie is music + film perfection. I can't think of another movie that is elevated more by it's soundtrack than Conan.

 

[Nymphae]

Always liked the Jackass intros, random gag and the music is fun mashed up with stunts. Used to love watching this show with a crew in the 90's, we'd all hang at the house of the guy who had American satellite channels

 

[UncleMeat]

Two absolutely insane stunts at the beginning of Goldeneye:


Obviously Bond getting into the plane isn't real but stuntmen really did jump off that cliff after the plane and bungee jump off that dam.

here's the second part, skips a beat (you get the point)

 

[VGEsoterica]

no question...Twin Peaks

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Paprika (2006)'s opening is the perfect collaboration of two incredible artists : Satoshi Kon for the visual creativity and Susumu Hirasawa for the amazing soundtrack.



Also,
Paranoia Agent (2004), same duo, same comment.



Street Hawk (1985), for its use of Tangerine Dream's Le Parc



Betelgeuse ! Betelgeuse ! Bete...

 

[Alone in 2020]

For realistic movies, these two are my favourite.

 

[UncleMeat]

The whole movie is pretty great but the Buster Scruggs segment of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is incredible. Fantastic music and funny as hell!
