The Ring is also one of several recent movies that forego opening credits altogether, not even revealing the name of the movie itself until the very end of the film. Apocalypse Now famously did the same thing, but this seems to have become a common practice; I first noticed it with Vanilla Sky, but Gangs of New York, Punch-Drunk Love and The Pianist also lack an opening title. (I especially like Punch-Drunk Love's approach, which opens in medias res, and then teases you for almost half a minute with music and an empty screen before cutting back to the movie itself.)
