Actually, when I started this discussion, I was most interested
in "very creative" credits more than simply "silly" ones.  We could
go on endlessly listing movies where they said silly things in the
opening or closing credits -- but they don't usually class as
"great" creative (especially in terms of graphic layout) displays.

I'm willing to give "Monty Python" a point, but it pretty much
represents the entire genre of "silly" credits.  Remember, I didn't
say I was looking for "funny" credits.  I said I was looking
for particulary interesting or creative ones.  I really can't
consider the credits for movies like "Airplane" to be particulary
great or creative -- they're just plain silly.  There's nothing
wrong with that, but I think we can do a lot better.
