I am talking here about the music itself, not what a recent thread said about the best opening credits ever. I will go with GIANT-56- DIMITRI TIOMKIN,although there are a bunch others I would consider. ANY CHOICES?

"Who will rescue me?" Theme from the animated movie The Rescuers. Aided by the illustrations over which the song played.
Well, if fear is an emotion (and it is), I like the library music over the main title of Night of the Living Dead (1968). That music really fills me with a sense of dread and foreboding. It's creepy as hell.
I'd like to say Superman II because of the flashbacks, but we are talking about composition here - that goes to John Williams.
If I can choose another emotional opening credit - it will need to be STAR WARS.
Once again - the music is what does it for me - not the visuals - because if the music sounded anything like they do in today's "so called" blockbusters - I don't think the emotion would be there.

Couldn't agree more.
Of course, now we risk being criticized for daring to have this view, as many think only smaller, more "intimate" scores can count as being truly emotional on the human level; not the bigger, blockbuster-type film scores....
Oh, well. I only know what moves *me* emotionally.
