Title Sequences

Some films have scenes with dialogue before the titles come onto the screen, like "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World". Others just have the titles scroll on the screen with establishing shots in the background. An example of this is "The Shining". Some film's titles sequences are more original than others, an example of this is "Napoleon Dynamite".
