Best Movie Title Sequence - Catch Me If You Can

Starting today, I'm going to post some of the best movie intros or title sequences. This could really make or break a movie for me. The first 10 seconds is going to tell you everything regarding the vibe, feel, tone and energy of the film.

So to get the ball rolling, I would like to introduce our first winner... drum roll... Steven Spielberg's 2002 biographical comedy-drama, Catch Me If You Can. The film is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr who, before his 19th birthday, successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor, and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. Now I read the book after I saw the film and I must say the book goes in a lot more detail but then again what film really captures all the detail covered in a book anyway. So now, please enjoy Kuntzel and Deygas's memorable and idiosyncratic title sequence.
