Anyone with a passing knowledge of 60's cinema (or if you've ever seen an Alfred Hitchcock film) will know the late Saul Bass, a legendary graphic designer. Here is a speculative video of the Star Wars opening done Saul Bass style

I own the dollars trilogy and 2001. Great,great movies!
Not a big Hitchcock fan though, I mean I appriciate his influence but most of his pictures aren't so scary in this day and age. Not that I'm claiming to have seen them all or anything...

My respect for you has increased tenfold Good taste.
I can understand modern audiences being kind of unable to adore Hitchcock. His films aren't scary, even to an adoring fan like me. But I'm so taken in by his camera work and the way he made his films that I can imagine them like I can with a good novel and they become frightening. He's a master IMO.
I remember when Psycho made it's TV debut, my mom who had seen it in the theater said she remembered a lot more gore and violence, even thought the blood had been red.
His movies were thrillers, not horror. We've been desensitized, the idea of violence isn't enough now.
Me too! Well, I've downloaded 2 of them and got one coming soon.

Scary? They were supposed to be scary? I thought it was more of a detective-story kind.
Scary...bah...you could have a scary movie with just a black, silent screen and a face appearing and uttering a loud shout in random intervals.
That's what these "scary movies" are all about anyway, or did anyone fail to notice that?
In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.
