The Independent Film Channel website has posted their choice of the “The 50 Greatest Opening Title Sequences of All Time.” 

Number one is Saul Bass’s iconic and often imitated opening titles for Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece Vertigo. In the number 27 slot is one of my favorites Taxi Driver. The yellow cab emerging from a cloud of sewer steam as Bernard Herrman’s ominous score plays on the soundtrack is some dark New York poetry. Michael Chapman’s lysergic cinematography adds to the nightmarish mood.

Here’s the list in full with video clips: “The 50 Greatest Opening Title Sequences of All Time.”
