Now they could fly a drone over a city to recreate that. That into was epic as a kid in the 80s, that was family time.

I wanted to find a link where I could list my comment under the HBO theme. This is the best theme for ANY of these streaming platforms, hands-down!! And it’s been a long time since I’ve heard it. I’ve actually been looking for it and today’s the first time I found it. I’d like this as a ringtone! And to the guy that did some of the painting- awesome job dude!! I do a little painting and building stuff myself and I know it takes a certain mindset and it takes patience and you have to be detail oriented. So thank you for helping to create the most memorable opening theme song ever. And that song does say “ hey! you’re getting ready to see an awesome movie!!” When the music starts, I swear I can hear my family yelling to “hurry up! The movie is starting!!”

I loved scale models and still build for fun. My folks got HBO when I was a kid and I have fond memories of this intro. I even recall seeing this behind the scenes at some point. As others have pointed out this is amazing special effects work considering how much the industry has advanced technologically. The theme music is also iconic and a powerful albeit brief composition.

So nostalgic. I remember so many nights see that epic intro sequence just to be a movie I'd already seen or had not interest in seeing come up and changing the channel.

How cool if HBO would bring this intro back for Generation Z can appreciate what 80's was able to showcase

You know you're old when you remember watching this between movies between 1982-1983 on your old wood console TV, with the woodgrain, push button cable box either laying on top or off to the side, and the Atari VCS hooked up and sitting on top as well. Most likely parked about 2 feet away from the screen, to your parents dismay. But that's as far as the cable box would stretch 😂
