    I loved Catch me if you can, and remembered when it came out i looked into how they made the animations. Great post!

    My favorite part of the movies: the title sequence. Big fan of those two sites. Love the ones designed by Saul Bass for Martin Scorsese\'s films (GoodFellas, Casino, Age of Innocence)

    Thanks for this showcase. These definitely show how a title can help introduce a mood (seeing the \'clockwork orange\' one still makes me shudder)

    I especially love how \'anatomy of a murder\' feels like it could be a great book cover.

    In fact, a lot of these would work wonderfully in that context, which I suppose is part of what makes them exceptional conceptually.

    i like the 1960\'s set.. my favorites are the 007 film titles

    Yes, there is a lot of art in making film titles interesting while conveying the mood of my film. Some of my favorites from recent films that I didn\'t see in the list: Stranger Than Fiction, Thank You For Smoking and Fracture.

    One thing I feel is often overlooked however, is the mood and feel that closing credits leave us with. I always like to stay until the end of the closing credits, as I feel they really finish off the mood of the movie for me. My favorite closing credits are probably The Incredibles and Moulin Rouge. Anyone else out there harbor a love for well-crafted closing credits?

    Anyone else notice that Jaws would still look good today? I hadn\'t noticed that it was ahead of its time until I saw it placed alongside the others...

    Very cool post! Thanks.

    Anatomy of a Murder is still a classic. These are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Now I must go watch Robin Hood - the original with Errol Flynn, of course.

    Man...the traffic title is so well thought and made, I think it...was one of the greatest things to come out of graphic design in that time.

    Just simple outstanding.

    For some reason \'Spawn\' was the first movie I really noticed the titles of… at the time I thought it was revolutionary but you\'ve created a great timeline here.

    I\'m loving your blog and have taken the liberty of nominating you for an oh-so-prestigious MeMe award — stop by A Verdant Life to pick it up if you so desire!

    I always admired the boards for the 1930s, but have a look at Spartacus- I hadn\'t noticed the quiet power of the font before, especially in relation to the screen

    Its almost impossible to interpret the film without the tiles.Awesome post! Keep it up!

    It\'s nice to see interesting and unique titles back then and even today. Hasn\'t changed too much in my opinion.
