Friday Roundup: Title Sequences

Mad_bass

I love title sequences. Sometimes more than the movies themselves.

Someone has re-imagined the Star Wars opening in the style of Saul Bass. And of course, if you check that one out you have to take a look at Bass' Anatomy of a Murder and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, a family favorite that we used to stay up to watch every New Year's Eve. Yes, I lived in the age before VHS. And fire. And the wheel.

I only wish we could have see these in better quality. We heartily agree with David Lynch when it comes to watching these things on the small screen.

Much more at Forget the Film, Watch the Titles where I have watched Lemony Snicket's closing sequences over and over until I realized it is time to buy the film simply for the end.

And much much more on Saul Bass titles here.
