movie title stills collection

film stills of opening titles from movies from 1920s to the future! i'm actually a part of the film stills community on livejournal, so this is an added treat. some films you have to pay to have access to their stills, but i think the title lock-ups are gorgeous to look at nonetheless :]

saul bass on titles

everyone knows saul bass, the father of film title sequences, but have you seen his totally rad 'stache? heard his weird accent? here he is, talking about his creative and technical process in title design. if you watch all the examples, film titles have really come a long way.
