are both from Rob Zombie's 'The Devil's Rejects'.



I couldn't find a video for the opening credits. It's probably too graphic to show here anyways.

Anyways...greatest opening and closing credits ever!

The problem is everything that's happened since. The style has been copied so many times now in many variations, it's easy to forget it was actually relatively original on that film.

But hey, I've never even seen Devil's Rejects and didn't even watch that Youtube link, I just loves me some SEVEN :mrgreen:

I enjoyed the super slow-mo liquid drop thing that happens at the end of The Fountain.

Don't forget Saul Bass with Anatomy of a Murder or Casino and for the lulz, the opening credits of Monty Python's Holy Grail (which by the way don't open the movie)

I also really like the opening credits for The Departed, and how they don't start until 15 or so minutes into the movie.

goodfellas blows it's load in the first hour, then naps the rest of the film
