I usually love David Lynch's title sequences:

Sadly, can't find my favorites on Youtube- Blue Velvet and especially Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The latter is amazing in so many ways- Badalamenti's theme, the gradual pullout from TV static, and the horrifying ending.

Oh, and while it's my generic answer for any and all "What is your favorite ___" film questions, Brazil:

Perfect in every way, not least for the amount of world-building it gets done in three minutes.

I was never a big fan of Delicatessen, but the title sequence is pretty stunning.

My favorite is Nilsson singing the closing credits to the great, waaay underrated Skidoo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4IMX26xF9Q

And here he sings a bit of it on Playboy After Dark with nasty Otto Preminger prodding him (starting around 6:30):
