*** RELINE THIS PLACE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

	The ones that come to my mind straight off (I'll probably think
	of about a dozen more tonight and post them tomorrow, but--)
	are:

	A Shot In The Dark (probably most of the other Pink Panther
	movies as well, but I don't remember them so well) opening:
	great animated sequence with allusions to tons of other
	memorable films; the SOUND OF MUSIC one always kills me.

	Being There closing: outtakes from the movie itself, with Peter
	Sellers cracking up in the middle of one of Chance's idiotic
	lines.

	Funny that they're both Sellers movies, isn't it?  Oh, I know,
	here's another Zero Mostel flick: The Producers.  The opening
	credits interleaved with Mostel's character resignedly--er,
	paying court to little old ladies I always thought a scream.

	I'm glad to see that someone else likes to watch credits.  I am
	sometimes the only person left in the theatre after sitting
	through the closing credits to the very very end.
