What is the best opening scene/ sequence of any movie? And why is it the animated Lion King?
Saving private Ryan
Such an incredible scene, and it really brings home the horror the soldiers went through
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
The Matrix
The opening scene blew everyone’s minds in the theater! Nobody had ever seen anything like it before.
Their lead up to release campaign was also great. Just “what is the matrix?” in a bunch of places. Way better than trailers that make watching the movie unnecessary because they include the best jokes and action scenes. Especially since with the Matrix, the whole premise of the plot was the twist, so they couldn’t really give you anything.
Inglorious bastards
Drinking milk has never been the same.
Good one.
Terrifying performance.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Simply the sun rising over the Earth set to Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
On Space Odyssey, I would agree that it’s cool to look at, but it’s terrible at conveying the meaning. You’d know if you read the book.
The book was based on early drafts of the movie, so the movie is not beholden to the novel’s interpretation.

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.
Intro to Lord of War (2005)
Is that Nicholas Cage?
It’s Baby Driver for me too, I will always be happy to watch
Zombieland is overall underrated, but the intro is impeccable. Perfectly sets up the rules and the humor the rest of the movie follows.
also, just thinking about the start of cool hand luke makes me giggle uncontrollably.
I remember being very impressed with their use of text, too.
Children of Men (2006) sets the scene perfectly: the future is filthy, the youngest person on the planet has just died, and our protagonist just narrowly survived a terrorist act. Marvellous film.
Super troopers. (This cut off the first part, and the end part. Look up the movie.)
I’ve seen it, great movie
Great opening.

It was absolutely perfect.
Anything Goes.
Up
Most of the James Bond movies, hard to pick one.
Oh mannn the Up opening hits hard :(
This made me think of the first Austin Powers. That was good.
Goldeneye sticks out in my mind.
The Dark Knight and Baby Driver seem to be the favorites so far.
Pretty hard to beat the opening sequence of The Dark Knight. Really sets the tone for the whole movie.
Love the opening to Pulp Fiction
