Favorite Movie Closing Credit Sequences
OK. So I'm bored. Here goes:
Employee of the Month & Wildthings - both Matt Dillon films pack more "plot" into the closing credits than any other film I can think of. Dawn of the Dead(2004) - a runner-up for the same reason Every Jackie Chan film ever made (except for Around the World in 80 Days) because of the outtakes. His films aren't the only ones with outtakes over the closing credits but they're the most enjoyable ones by far! Most Miyazaki films - mainly because I'm a Miyazaki fan. His closing credits aren't particularly innovative but they feature backgrounds and artwork that, either evoke memorable scenes from the story (e.g. Spirited Away) or tell a wonderful epilogue (e.g. Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro). The Incredibles - the artwork and design are really fun. Engrossing.

... a sort of licensed troubleshooter.
|
- Austin Powers 1 & 2. Mike Meyers is a great comic mind, and it really shows in the credit sequences. In the first, Mike is having a photoshoot with Liz Hurley. It's classic stuff. Really simple slapstick, really well done. In The Spy that Shagged me, Seth Green as Scott Evil is on Springer finding out that Mindy Sterling's Frau Farbissina is discovered to be his mother. Great stuff.
- The Lord of the Rings....not because of anything in particular (thought Howard Shore's music was incredible), but the sheer length of the credits. - Jackass the Movie. Hahahah!!!  |

I quote like the first element of the ending of the last X Men.
So, it would take the whole US Army plus the X Men to take out Magneto, right? WRONG! WRONG!!!!!!
