I wouldn't be a Zulawski expert by any stretch but Third Part of the Night, The Devil, Possession and The Silver Globe are classics ! Just goes to show film makers are not always the best judge of their works...

Can't find it on youtube, but I love the opening to Crimson Rivers, with the closeup moving around the corpse.

The best opening in cinema history.

I love the atmospheric opening credit sequences, shot in Highgate cemetery, to both Tales from the Crypt and From Beyond the Grave.

I didn't mean his own work, I meant everyone else's . My favourite Zulawski film is Szamanka.

Indeed it is and i also think one of the funniest opening credit sequences belongs to the hilarious Smokey And The Bandit III (yep, that's right! The third film nobody likes but me!!) with Sheriff Buford T. Justice trying to enjoy his retirement only to have everything go wrong! The senior citizens exercise class moment especially splits the sides everytime!

Okay... some more favourites... Once Upon A Time In The West - the perfect marriage of image and sound... THX-1138 - the descending credits and Lalo Schifrin's haunting theme music... The Man Who Fell to Earth - David Bowie's arrival on a strange windswept alien world, and the prophetic shot of the drunk and the lamb on the way to the slaughter... Persona - the veins of Cinema ripped open and the extraordinary cavalcade of surreal imagery that seques into the credits of Bergman's great masterpiece. This is where Tyler Durden got the idea of splicing a cock into a film...

Persona is such an incredible film and my favourite Bergman. Strikes that bizarre balance of being beautifully refined (acting, cinematography and mis en scene) but equally raw and visceral (script, subject and editing) - a truly remarkable piece of work. Incidentally Mark Cousin's Bergman's analysis on The Story Of Film last week was superb.

Hulk Alien Aliens Speed Ricochet Batman ('89) Superman II The Warriors The Shining ('80) Superman Returns and The Last Dragon ('85). Also, more or less any vintage martial arts movie featuring the good and/or bad guys showing their stuff against a red background!
