Those of us who saw this for the first time in cinemas in 1978 as little kids will never forget the thrill of experiencing this. I'm 49 years old, and every time I see this I feel like I'm 6 years old again. And yes, my train of emotions derails instantly. Watching this opening night with my parents back then. Miss you, mom. Thanks to both my parents for giving me the love of the cinema. Greatest movie opening of ALL TIME!!

RIP Richard Donner, the director that made us believe that a man could fly.

This movie is the reason why superhero movies exist today

John Williams is the greatest composer of movie soundtracks ever.

I was SO lucky to have been born in 1969 and able to witness classic films of the 70's in the theatre when they premiered. Star Wars, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark... truly epics for a kid.

If I was Richard Donner I would die a happy man knowing I created the greatest opening credits in cinema history!

How the hell is this opening still so cool in 2024???? That freaking “S” with that freaking music theme, pure perfection! Masterpiece of all times!

This film always reminds me of my dad. He loved this movie and as a kid, I thought he had a smile like Christopher Reeve. He tragically passed in 2015. He was my Superman. Thanks for adopting me Daddy and giving me your name.

Am I the only one who gets goosebumps and teary eyes watching these credits fly across the screen to the incredible epic score by John Williams?

[St.Nosaint]

I agree John Williams is the Mozart of our time. So many great soundtracks, his catalog is superb.

Without Richard Donner's Superman, we wouldn't have Burton's Batman, Singer's X-Men, Raimi's Spider-Man, Nolan's Dark Knight and Marvel Cinematic Universe
Father of Cinecomics! ❤️❤️❤️

No Superman movie score will ever surpass the one by John Williams. To this day it is inspiring and timeless.

[warlaker]

One of the best opening titles. The audience actually cheered them. RIP Richard Donner. Poignantly a lot of the names are gone now

A meeting of the Superman production staff: "That opening of Star Wars was really something. Think we can top it?" And by god they did.

[waynegoodman]

The opening sequence is better than most modern day movies.

[AldenRDavis]

"In the decade of the 1930s, even the great city of Metropolis was not spared the ravages of the world-wide depression. In the times of fear and confusion, a job of informing the public was the responsibility of the Daily Planet, a great metropolitan newspaper, whose reputation for clarity, and truth has become a symbol of hope for the city of Metropolis."

Superman deserves a theme like this.
Superman needs a theme like this.
Superman IS a theme like this.
