What's your favorite movie studio opening fanfare/theme?

[EvilChameleon]

So many classic ones to chose from. Universal? Disney? FOX? Columbia? Some other studio?

Might just be Universal for me. Just has that gravitas and weight to it.

 

[Omanisat]

MGM Lion.

 

[Cross-Section]

It'll always be the Fox fanfare with the Cinemascope expansion/Lucasfilm logo for me:

 

[J-Tier]

It's between Disney or Universal for me. Love them both. They both evoke serious nostalgia for me. Disney edges Universal out by a bit since there's a certain...magical feeling to "When You Wish Upon A Star"...though Universal has...I dunno, nevermind. I like them both.

 

[DrEvil]

20th century fox. Most iconic.

Touchstone is very nostalgic too. Same with amblin.

[A Ream of Paper]

I always had a soft spot for New Line Cinema's fanfare:

 

[samoscratch]

Blumhouse

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Funny this thread is made after thinking of nostalgic opening tunes.

This is what triggered it when I put on Little Rascals on HBOnow the other day. Forgot about this one, always think of the "main"(?) Universal one.

 

[Commander Jameson]

I always had fond memories of the Carolco intro.

 

[Chaos Legion]

Good thread. Universal for me. But top 3 below.

2. DreamWorks


3. Columbia


Honorable mention:
Castle Rock Entertainment

i like the paramount one

 

[DeliciousSunnyD!]

I like Universal's, Paramount's, and Orion's.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

United Artists around 1994-96. It was used in movies like Goldeneye and Showgirls.

 

[CandySTX]

Maybe the theme isn't iconic, but when you saw this logo, you knew you were usually in for a wild time.

 

[ClivePwned]

old school universal

MGM and Fox are hard to beat.

 

[Imthefunmachine]

I love this Variant of the Fox logo.

 

[Kurita]

The Toei waves

 

[CloudWolf]

Fox followed by Universal

 

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I always liked this one:

 

[Bus-TEE]

The animated Warner Bros logo that plays with the 'You Must Remember This' chords is the GOAT in my opinion.



Coming up hot in second place is Columbia Pictures before they added that stupid fucking Sony logo sting at the start.

Great shout. This is also a classic logo.

I also really like Canal Plus' film logo, StudioCanal.

 

[SweetVermouth]

I always liked the Lions Gate logo (horror version)



The regular version has white instead of red

Your opinion is right.

[Yasuke]

Classic Disney's will always be king.

 

[Chimpzy]

I know it's not a movie studio opening fanfare, but screw it, I'm nominating it anyway:




Deep Note aka TNX - THE AUDIENCE IS NOW DEAF! Shit honestly got little me way more hype for a movie than any studio logo.

 

[Travo]

20th Century Fox because it's synonymous with Star Wars.

 

[Melkezadek]

Not an opening, but I was always fond of the Gracie Films outro at the end of every Simpsons episode. Puts me in a good place.

 

[Dan Thunder]

Probably Universal for me then possibly Columbia and Fox. I always liked the Lightstorm one too:
