One of the intros that inspired our group was Breaking Bad. It captures a scientific sensibility, and it's use of the Periodic Table for text is something we implemented in our own film. It doesn't set up any characters but it's use of colours and the smoke trails create an atmosphere that suits the show.
The intros of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre were also inspirational with the use of physical titles. Nacho Libre's into also sets up the idea of a monk who dreams of being a wrestler effectively.
The intro sequence to This is England effectively captures the era through old footage. It has political footage, music, royal weddings and war, showing all aspects of the 80's not just fond nostalgia. Alongside the footage, it has a gritty looking font conveying the themes of the film. From this font the titles are lent a kind of power. Interestingly it never shows any of the characters from the film, just things relevant to them.
