Talk:Opening credits

Untitled

I think the answer is "Yes, They required it.", but I am not positive. (See citations below.)

Bad example...

"However Hollywood had been releasing films without opening credits for many years before Lucas came along, most notably Citizen Kane and Star Trek: Nemesis, and in Europe, films without opening credits are also commonplace."

Nemesis came out well after Star Wars did, and therfore should be replaced with another exmaple of a movie produced BEFORE star wars that also didn't have opening credits, eh?

Napoleon Dynamite!

Just a thought, in the short smattering of well-known films with memorable opening credits, I would say the "cult hit" ND should also be included/explained (not only was it done with food, but that food was eaten throughout the film, apparently). 199.214.26.180 20:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

The Flight Of The Phoenix (1965)

seem to have also a rather extended long opening credit. So whats the longest?

Citations

The areas under recent trends, about Star wars say citation needed. I don't have the citation source readily available at this time (so it would be a poorly written citation), but it is on the bonus disk, included with the special edition box set DVD release of the Star Wars IV-VI trilogy, as bonus material. There is a 2 1/2 hour documentary and such information in included therein. It also addresses the screen actor guild, and I think they also fined Lucas.

STARRING "AS"

sometimes you see in the list of primary actors the actors name and the roles name as he/she plays it ... e.g. in Stargate SG1, Michael Shanks is the only one where is written "as Daniel Jackson". on the other Hand the order represents somewhat the importance with shanks being the last of the list one could argue that the less important are always stated with their role names. however for example in 7th Heaven this doesn't appear to be right either

so maybe there is a specific reason behind the "starring as" in opening credits, it would be great if someone could clear that up — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.146.158.164 (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Humorous credits

In the article on closing credits, there is a section on humorous credits. Should there be a similar section in this article? Or is it not that common? One example I could cite is the opening credit sequence of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.    → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 19:26, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Expansion required

The "History" section of the article only refers to opening credits for films/movies, but what about the television industry, where there would be some sort of change in the opening credits from one season of a given show to another? This is obvious for example in soap operas such as "Another World" or "As the World Turns" which began in black and white and then switched to color. --Fandelasketchup (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Wrong information

The article gives wrong information, in the sense that the credits listed as sample should only be used for movies/films, but not for TV shows, e.g. instead of "(FILM'S TITLE)" TV shows use a Title sequence. Also, why is the word "film" used instead of "movie" if the Wikimedia Foundation is based in the US? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 13:31, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
