2 minute opening to movies

2 minute opening to feature movie-
We all know that first impressions are important, right? Well, the same goes for film. The opening title sequence of a film is giving the opportunity to make a good first impression on you, the viewer. A well-crafted title sequence introduces the audience to the tone and theme of the film as well as the cast and crew. You expect it to be interesting and exciting, to make you want to watch the rest of it. Although you don't want to much to be given away, you want it to make you be excited and to draw you in to listen and watch carefully. Some of the best movie openings are as followed, (rated by Andrew Lindstrom in 2008):
