    Reading your reaction to everyone else’s comments, did you read the part where I said credits and an overture? What’s got you so wound up over this? You’ll notice I never said 10 minutes like that first guy, but most movies have way longer opening titles than 30 seconds, which is what you said…

      Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

      If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

      Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

      Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.

          Oh boy. I just reread your edited comments. It’s hard to keep up when you edit like that

          But yes, I would still care to hear your 40s and 50s examples. If you have one where overture+credits approaches 10 minutes, I’d be shocked. As we’ve discussed, some examples in the 60s can hit 5 minutes, but that’s about the most I’ve seen
