Another Spielberg movie... JAWS! Nothing will ever top that opening. <br/><br/>Catch Me If You Can certainly possesses a fantastic title sequence. Indeed, the best in years. However it simply cannot compete with the shark... Spielberg's greatest legacy to cinema. The summer blockbuster was born.<br/><br/>All subjective I know, but I thought I would add my two cents. The Pink Panther - Spot on.

Psycho - Certainly.

Goldfinger - Excellent.

However, there can only be one number one in my opinion. Another Spielberg movie… JAWS! Nothing will ever top that opening.

Catch Me If You Can certainly possesses a fantastic title sequence. Indeed, the best in years. However it simply cannot compete with the shark… Spielberg’s greatest legacy to cinema. The summer blockbuster was born.

And yes the fanfare at the start of each Star Wars film is iconic but but any space set title sequence on my list is gona be Superman related!
