What is the best opening scene/ sequence of any movie? And why is it the animated Lion King?
WALL-E
I liked Manhunter opening scene too. The colours and the quiet.
Bladerunner, obviously.
Contact
Saving private Ryan
I mean none of the others even come close to this. And that’s without it being all but true.
I forgot about that. PTSD
Such an incredible scene, and it really brings home the horror the soldiers went through
Up
Most of the James Bond movies, hard to pick one.
Oh mannn the Up opening hits hard :(
Goldeneye sticks out in my mind.
This made me think of the first Austin Powers. That was good.
I think Raiders of the lost Ark is perfect in a way.
I also love
Leon: The Professional La Haine Home Alone Braindead
I’m still trying hard to remember the one I thought of a while ago while writing these down.
Belly 1998
Wow 🤩
Dawn of the Dead 2004
Baby Driver
Casino Royale

Watchmen film doesn’t get much love but I like it and the intro is fantastic.
I liked the intro to 28 weeks later more than the rest of the movie. Even though it makes little sense how the kid led the infected to them, when they can outrun most people.
Oh that is good.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SUWENYAAAAAAAA HAMANIIII CHIHUAHUAAAAAAAAA
Not really the opening scene, but I love the opening credits of Thank You For Smoking
Did you know Katie Holmes turned down her role in the Dark Knight because of her sex scene with Aaron Eckhart in Thank You For Smoking?
She was still in a relationship with Tom Cruise at the time and he was jealous (typical Cruise) of the on screen chemistry she had with Eckhart.
Smoke, smoke, smoke, that cigarette!
The intro to Taxi (1998) has always stuck with me
That was cool
The opening of Once Upon A Time In The West always stuck with me.
That Lord of war bullet opening was pretty iconic
The Dark Knight
I recently re-watched 2001: a space odyssey and its both one of the best and worst opening scenes ever.
Care to explain?
Not that person, but I’d assume that its artsy vagueness and self importance are both good if you wanna get into analysation and terrible if you know nothing about it and are just trying to watch a regular sci Fi movie and understands what’s immediately going on
