What do you consider the best/most memorable, or classic tv or film opening sequences.

Mine off the top of my head for starters are.

2001 Space Odyssey, Blue Danube, near perfection.
Dr Who (TV), Perfectly matched sound effects.
BBC F1 (TV), The Chain.
Walk on the Wild Side, The prowling cat scene, must be a classic.

Also some of the 007 opening sequences.

Barbarella is engraved on my memory.

But train spotting and 2001 are up there too.

Hitchcock films have there moments. The start of Vertigo, and many of the Jimmy Stuart ones have great visual moments.

And lets not forget the start of Captain Scarlet,

That is about 30 minutes into the film though!

The opening of Leon is great.

One of my favourite Bond ones is the opening to Living Daylights when 002, 004 and 007 parachute onto Gibraltar in a training exercise that turns sour.

Last week I met the guy who played 004 - funny to meet someone you've seen on screen (though briefly) in an everyday context.
