And just by luck, automatically following it was this on YT, which was a cool cartoon back then. Wow, looking back what a kick ass MANLY intro.



Almost forgot...... the best cartoon intro ever. Fantastic movie.

A lot of 80s and 90s cartoons had nicely animated intros (typically much better than the animation of the episodes themselves). Ghostbusters, Thundercats, TMNT to name a few

Saw it for the first time yesterday, the intro, still need to watch 2 hrs of the movie to finish

Holy fuck how is Quentin Tarantino so brilliant. This is one of the most phenomenal intros I have witnessed in a while. The song is literally perfect, and the opening scene is opens up the tone very well. Straight into the conflict and action from the very start. Well done
 
Let's see...

TV shows :
Babylon 5 (Season 5) has to be my all time favorite. It's a great summary of the entire thing (beware, spoilers, so don't watch it) ; an amazing emotional buildup ; and musically, Chris Franke brilliantly captured both the "epicness" and the "lyricism" of the show. A very fitting and satisfying composition for this final season.



Millennium (Season 2), now that was weird.



Les Mondes Engloutis, if you're French and grew up with this, then that thing's in your DNA.



Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, damn, the 80s were amazing.



Angry Bonus cause
fuck you hedgehogs :



Movies :
Theatre Of Blood (1973).

Magnum PI


Full version of Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers is a pretty hot jam:


Condorman (Henry Mancini was such a badass! King of the intro themes: Pink Panther, Peter Gunn, etc..)

Always liked the Jackass intros, random gag and the music is fun mashed up with stunts. Used to love watching this show with a crew in the 90's, we'd all hang at the house of the guy who had American satellite channels

Two absolutely insane stunts at the beginning of Goldeneye:


Obviously Bond getting into the plane isn't real but stuntmen really did jump off that cliff after the plane and bungee jump off that dam.

crusade goes on further, transitions to the boat fight and subsequent university teachings

here's the second part, skips a beat (you get the point)

Paprika (2006)'s opening is the perfect collaboration of two incredible artists : Satoshi Kon for the visual creativity and Susumu Hirasawa for the amazing soundtrack.



Also,
Paranoia Agent (2004), same duo, same comment.



Street Hawk (1985), for its use of Tangerine Dream's Le Parc :messenger_heart:



Betelgeuse ! Betelgeuse ! Bete...

The whole movie is pretty great but the Buster Scruggs segment of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is incredible. Fantastic music and funny as hell!
