Others:

ANY Python film ("Moose Trainer")

THE STUNT MAN (opening credits):  Like some knod of bizarre invention, we
follow the interaction of a buzzard, a helicopter, a dog, a police car, and
the goings-on inside a dinner while the credits roll.

THE SEVEN-PERCENT SOLUTION:  Used wonderful old Sidney Paget Sherlock Holmes
sketches to represent the different characters.

BEING THERE (closing credits):  Remember in the ORIGINAL film (before
video), the closing credits were of Sellers retaking and retaking a scene
over?  Funny...

BUCKAROO BANZAI (closing credits):  Well, *I* liked 'em...

Also, while not theatrical, both of John Le Carre's spy novels brought to TV
(TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY and SMILEY'S PEOPLE) have had intriguing
opening credits (A russian doll which, when opened, reveals another doll;
and a chalk mark moving along things in very dramatic camera angles).

Lord, I'm sure there's more, but I don't have the time....

	     raped and murdered my sister, burned my ranch, shot my dog, and
	     stole my Bible!"
