One of the best in my book, too.  (Though I don't know that I'll be watching it again this year; need a new Christmas movie.)

Just watched It's A Wonderful Life again last night.
That flick is so good.
The credits at the beginning get me every time.
The hand-made cards, with glitter and calligraphy.
Pulled across the screen by hand.
I picture some guy standing by the edge of the table, smoking a cigar, the director says, "Alright there Joe, pull it" in 1940's New York dialect.  Joe pulls the card.  Sometimes he seems a little slower, giving certain cards more air time, extra credit.

That freakin movie, man.  So damn good.  And Donna Reed....wow.

Another idea...
Credits don't have to scroll. Personally, I like successive pages of 
credits. These are easy to do create. Just make still images in a 
photo app and line them up on your time line. You can add a fade in 
and fade out to each one or put a fade between them if you want to 
get fancy.
