Saul Bass was the king of the opening title.

R6 wins. But I'll submit Insomnia as better-than-average. It grabbed me from the first note/visual and filled me with a queasy dread that never left me for the entirety of the film. A great movie experience, but I have no desire for a rewatch.

Superman (1978), absolutely staggering to 9 year old me.

Leave us not forget the brilliant music supporting these sequences: Elmer Bernstein for both Walk on the Wild Side and To Kill a Mockingbird, abd the inimitable Bernard Herrmann for Vertigo.
Their like will not be heard again.

Jackie Brown, which QT obviously copied from The Graduate.

Twenty posts in on DL and no mention of this DL classic?
Love the black and white photos with the medley of songs, wrapping up with the haunting theme song, Don't Ask to Stay Until Tomorrow.

I knew OP’s opening was Saul Bass from the still on the preview. He did a lot of Hitchcock’s openings. Here’s North by Northwest.

Caught another great Bass: Bonjour Tristesse

Fahrenheit 451
How do you show credits for a film about a society that bans the written word? A brilliant solution.

My favorite of all Saul Bass's title sequences was from late in his career.

One of the creepiest ever: Brian De Palma's SISTERS (thanks to the incredible theme by Bernard Herrmann)
