**Memorable opening titles** 1. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 2. Star Wars The “opening crawl,” an homage to the old “Flash Gordon” serials, became an emblem of the film series.

**Memorable opening titles** 1. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 2. Star Wars 3. The Pink Panther The film’s title refers to a diamond. However, Blake Edwards commissioned an animated title sequence featuring a more literal Pink Panther, who of course went on to become a popular cartoon character in his own right. ---

**Memorable opening titles** 1. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 2. Star Wars 3. The Pink Panther 4. Catch Me If You Can 5. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Bond title sequences were, as a rule, all pretty damned good … but this one, I think, was exceptional. This was the first film without Sean Connery _(I don’t count that 1967 abomination with Peter Sellers, David Niven, and Woody Allen – no way, no how)_, so I especially liked the way they paid homage to the Bond films that had come before.
