Schindler's List (1993)

Schindler's List is a historical drama, directed by Steven Spielberg. The naturalistic, touching film is an adaptation of Thomas Keneally's award-winning novel, Schindler's Ark.

In 1939, all the Jews in the near areas are forced into the Kraków Ghetto. Meanwhile, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), the german businessman gathering friends amongst high ranked SS-Officers, and employ Jews as cheap labour force in his new enamelware factory. When the agressive SS-Haupsturmführer, Amon Göth (Ralph Fiennes) is liquidating the Kraków Ghetto, and Schindler witnesses the horrifying brutality, he decide, he will save as many people from death, as he can.

The film is starting with a Jewish family holding Sabbath at their home - probably the last one for a long time. When the prayer ends singing, we see two candles - between them, we can read the titles. With the candles burning out, the film's turn to black and white, and we can only see one colour later: the lost little girl in the middle of the chaotic liquidation of the ghetto, has a red coat.

The Goonies (1985)

The Goonies is from the middle of an era, when really great writers/directors came up with a bright idea, and actually made films about them. 'Let's make a movie about a professor of history, who's in fact a tough adventurer/a little, fluffy creature, which should not touch water, or eat after midnight/a young couple, moving in a house which slowly collapses onto their heads/a bunch of kids, who are seeking the secret treasure of an old pirate-leader!'

The movie's about the Goonies, a band, usually hanging out in a house, which an evil company wants to bulldoze down to the earth. They need money, and they haven't got a cent. But hope shines on, when they find an ancient treasure map, and starts to follow the way towards the "X"...
The film's one of the great ones made in the '80s, I really love it for the nostalgic atmosphere (thought, it's not nostalgy for me since I was born in the '90s).

The titles are quite quiet, we going into the eyehole of a pirates' skull. After some captions written in pirate-stlye (you know, what it means - it's like writings on papyrus), we zooming out of the eyehole, only to see, the skull is now the dot above the "i" in the title 'The Goonies', which is written in the same stlye as the captions before.
