Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)

Monty Python is the name of perhaps the greatest comedy troupe of all time. Their second (well, third - if And Now For Something Completely Different counts) movie is Life of Brian, directed by Terry Jones.

The movie begins in the year 0 - Jesus Christ's stable-neighbor is a guy named Brian Cohen, whose life is a series of misfortune: not only it turns out, his father was in fact a Roman officer, he even captured by the Romans, when he took part in some rebel activity. Brian survives an insane space chase, but the real shit comes, when the fanatic crowd starts to believe that he's none other than the Messiah itself.

Terry Gilliam, the talented animator of the group made this extraordenary intro for the film (he also directed the part, when Brian was rescued by a UFO). The song we hear, which is wittily called 'Brian's Song' is about the obvious growing up of our hero, but performed as he was some kind of a saint. Meanwhile, we see Roman-style buildings, sculptures, paintings, and writings about the cast & crew, while Brian randomly stumbles around the scenes. The troupe's name is written in luminous neon, while the title is with those epic hollywoodian stone-letters.

Alien (1979)

Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien is probably the most terrifying sci-fi horror of all time.

It's about the huge commercial towing spaceship, the Nostromo's crew of seven (and, of course, Jones the cat) - they are just heading towards the Earth after a job on another planet. On the way, they find an ancient spaceship full of alien eggs...soon, their journey home becomes a nightmare.

The titles are appearing slowly with the dark, abandoned space in the background. At first, we only see senseless lines - like some ancient alien writing. Meanwhile, we hear creepy ambient music. Under the title, credits are written. Step by step, the word ALIEN emerging, and after that, we see the spaceship Nostromo, and some information about it.
