Start the Movie! (Movie titles, logos, cinema ads)
-
Need a bit of help for something for work.
I want to know your favourite movie titles, cinema adverts, studio adverts, Dolby/THX sizzles all that stuff.
Basically all the guff that plays before the movie at the cinema, VHS, DVD etc that isn't a full on trailer.
So can be the titles or credits of a movie.
Logos like DreamWorks (please don't say the over the top new one)
The multiplex logos.
Adverts for popcorn and snacks.
Everything that gets your juices flowing for the film that's about to begin.
A couple of my faves.
The Matrix WB logo...
UCI cinemas (I can smell the popcorn with this one)
Dolby Helicopter intro

Pearl and Dean, surely -
Some of the old Orange ones to get you to turn your phone off were mildly amusing -
Did batman do a WB thing too?

They owned the building the cinema was in, nice old couple -
Defo Pearl and Dean. Keep throwing them out there though, want a good range of eras and types.
Orange ads are a great shout, forgot about them.
YouTube links would be useful but not necessary. -
Always liked this one from Waterworld.
It’s a good film for 57 seconds.

For film titles you'll not beat Alien

Yeah the movies all had a thing. The Animated series had a quality transition too.acemuzzy wrote:Did batman do a WB thing too?
The WB logo combined with the music has also tricked me into thinking Harry Potter films might be good.

Pixar was an instant classic too

Building the story into the title…
Subtle but so good…
Another excellent scene setter…
-
Just the sound makes this…

Love that transition.Gamertag: gremill -

Beside that...
This is an old Drive In intermission advert. I'm posting it partly because it sounds like it fits the bill, partly because it's the ad that's showing on the screen during the Drive-In scene from Grease (so people will vaguely recognise it without knowing why) and partly because the only time I went to a drive in (in Canada) they used it...
Meanwhile here's the classic Rank Films intro:
Pretty much any Saul Bass opening credits will win me over, but let's go with Man with the Golden Arm
-
MGM Lion roar (that was actually a tiger)
Old James Bond opening with the turn and shoot -
I do love the ones that take the logo and merge it with the theme though, touch of class
-
Pearl and Dean for me but advert wise I always remember this one for some reason:
Can't believe I found it on YT!Live, PSN & WiiU: Yippeekiyey -
And the cornetto ad...

Vue certainly spent a lot on this new one that plays before the film...
Howdy, Stranger!
