What, in your opinion, is the most artfully done title?


I thought "The Thing"'s was especially memorable.

Here's Peter Kuran explaining how he did it (I got this from the website "Art of the Title"): "When I did the effect for the title I used… a fish tank that was about four feet wide by two feet high. I put smoke in the fish tank and on the back of the tank I put the title that was drawn on an animation cel and behind that I had a piece of plastic garbage bag which I stretched over a frame and behind that I had a light pointing through the letters. When I photographed it, I put a flame from a match to the plastic. The plastic would open up and let the light through the letters. That is how the letters look like they form and burn on with the [light] rays. It was a simple process but we went through a lot of takes; one take only formed the letters “N.G.*”
