The lost art of the credit sequence

[CupofJoe]

The ultimate in action opening credits:-

Now I have School Summer Holiday flashbacks!

Thinking more on this, wasn't the opening credits to The Prisoner the best of all - the whole story, music, car and style?

That sequence was superb. The storyline itself was completely inscrutable to me, as a young teen! But that didn't stop me staying in every week to watch it. It was fascinatingly weird and science-fictiony.

Amazed no-one's mentioned the original Dr Who title sequence from the early 1960s. Some incredibly innovative optics effects, and electronic music from the BBC Radiophonics Workshop. I remember it being utterly otherworldly.

Any of the Twilight Zone intros were all fascinating.

The opening scene for each of Christopher Lee's 'Ghost Stories for Christmas' set the atmosphere up perfectly.

5 second clip for each presenter [...] a hat, a tree, and a llama

So was there, or was there not, any dalai-ing about...?
