A lot of end credits _are_ very stylized.

I think the reasoning your suggestions wouldn't work is because it takes people out of the "magic". I love learning more about behind-the-scenes stuff, but I don't think I'd like it 10 seconds after the movie ends. I obviously know movies are fake, but I don't necessarily want to be reminded of that... I want music and some graphics, while I absorb what I just watched.

There's two exceptions I can think of: Pixar's bloopers (which are obviously all fake) keep you immersed in the "world" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCBLywCKZmM), and real/actor pictures after a story based on true events.

This. End credits have evolved a secondary function as the In Between Time. You're still under the spell; here's a gentle transition back to reality.

Rush Hour...

They're boring in part because you're seeing big-budget movies, with a small army's worth of effects crews. When it takes something like twenty minutes for all the names to scroll by slowly enough for you to pick out the name of your cousin's brother who worked at Foobar Digital, there's just kind of not much you can do. If you've got a really big budget you might have some animation going on during the end credits, or at least cool images - but even those usually taper out once you start listing the seventeen different effects houses you outsourced scenes to.

It's a lot more bearable if you watch movies that aren't full of effects.

Ugh, that stuff destroys the fourth wall. Save it for the DVD extras or put it on YouTube.
