The Goonies
This is not only one of my favorite movies, but also one of my favorite title sequences. Before any action comes into place a large image of a skull appears on the screen. After the opening starts out mysteriously, making the audience curious of the three main villains, and why they're escaping one of them from prison. The opening is very clever as a number of scenes are cross cut over each other, so as a series of different scenes take place there is still the main focus of the police car chase in the background. Throughout the opening sequence we are introduced to most of the key characters in the movie however they are shown to not be aware of the danger which is surrounding them that is the police chase. The titles that appear all remain in the same position throughout the whole opening however doesn't noticeably block any important film.

The Terminator
I like this opening sequence as it starts off in a futuristic atmosphere. Still unaware of what the movie is about we watch as human skulls are run over by moving vehicles and large spaceships fly across the sky. We are then presented with a paragraph about the machines and how tonight it will finally come to end. A lot of the shots we're establishing so we had a full view of the action which was taking place. Intriguing the audience into what will happen and how dangerous the machines really are. Afterwards the titles begin to appear as well as the opening music which has a strong input on the overall sequence as raises suspense for the viewers.
