The eleventh category in The Gummi Awards is for the film with the Most Entertaining Title Sequence. Movies don't always have these, by the way. Cartoons, on the other hand, almost always do. For example, in any Teen Titans or Powerpuff Girls episode, there may be a period of action prior to the opening credits, but it's brief, before the theme music kicks in and the familiar characters are introduced. It's the same way with some movies, except that we only see the title sequence once. Remember that James Bond movie with the images projected onto naked women? That's what I'm talking about. Nominate the movie that you think provided the most stylized introduction.
The Nominees Are:
Farenheit 451 - "The opening credits are actually NOT printed, they are read by one of the characters. At the same time, the viewer is shown scores of TV antennas. This is important as it underscores the fact that printed word is illegal, in this particular reality, and that all pertinent information is "fed" to the public via television."
Se7en - "Not only does the opening sequence contain a montage of oddities and freakish, mutant-like images, it also serves as great foreplay into the mind of the psychotically brilliant, "John Doe." It also doesn't hurt that the background music is a b-side version of "Closer," by Nine Inch Nails." (watch a clip)
