Please name one. Never seen one that had more than 2 minutes of opening credit. Maybe one or two had a dedicated symphonic opening but that was exceedingly rare
4 minutes? Not the version I saw in theatre, my friend. Mind you, it’s not exactly what you wanted either, even though it was longer than ten minutes of music at the start: a lot of it was playing while the screen was black, then at a certain point every theme in the music came together, the glorious visuals started up, and I knew I was in for a masterpiece.
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
The Outsiders had a stupidly long intro if my memory is correct. I remember taking the tape out to check if maybe it was at the end and the credits were rolling.

Watched planet of the apes the other day and it had a good amount of opening credits. Couldn’t tell you the length off the top of my head
4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.
But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.
Lawrence of Arabia.
Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute intros lol?

Star Trek the Motion Picture has like a 10 minute opening credits
you lie those credits were at least an hour
Am I being trolled or do people not know how years work
It was more of a response to your original comment which didn’t mention any particular decade.
Lawrence of Arabia sits at about 6 minutes
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.
I literally said overture in the comment that’s got you all bothered
