[The_Big_Woodowski]

Saving private Ryan

 

[Caesium137]

I love the opening 10 minutes or so of Baby Driver.

Saving private Ryan

I was going to add that, but the opening scene is actually of the family in the Normandy graveyard, and the beach landing isnt till like 4 mins in. Still powerful.

Carrie.

so many to choose from but personal greats for me include The Dark Knight and Inglorious Basterds

two iconic introductions to two of the greatest villains to grace cinema

Toy Story - you are convinced you are in the middle of a Western heist, .... then BOOM the twist is they are actually all toys!!!!

I love the opening 10 minutes or so of Baby Driver.

very under rated film. I love most films with John Berthall

I enjoyed the first 10 minutes of Gladiator where the Romans were fighting some German tribes in the forest. In the film the Romans won, but in reality they never conquered most of modern day Germany and got a couple of awful beatings.

Goodfellas - short in length but wow!

 

[Piccadilly Day Tripper]

Recently the opening sequence of All Quiet on the Western Front

Also have to nominate Star Wars. The opening shots were jaw dropping and closely followed by the immediate introduction of Darth Vader.

I like Donnie Darko's opening. Mainly because of Echo & The Bunnymen but it does set the scene for the madness to follow.

Recently the opening sequence of All Quiet on the Western Front

good shout - absolutely harrowing film

As much as I love Partridge describing Bond the best Bond opening is Daniel Craig's introduction in Casino Royale.

Animated my choice would be Up!. So much story told in such a short space of time. It's probably the earliest in a film I've seen that makes people genuinely cry.

Scream was also brilliant because they kill the star of the film in that opening. Really sets the mood in that nobody is safe.
