Best Opening Scene in a Movie

[brian_warioman]

My current favorite movie opening would have to be any of the Matrix movies. I don't know why but it just kind of blew my mind when I saw it. Other than that Saving Private Ryan's

Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring was one of my favorites. Watching Sauron school those guys was tight!

You liked a 15-minute-long monologue from a narrator?

Oh man, the Big Lebowski was great. Pissing on a rug. Hah.
Always did like Fight Club.
Personal favorite for the time being (next to Inglourious Basterds, but that was already said):

Spoiler: The opening from Adaptation- NSFW (vaginal childbirth)

 

[Zani]

Pulp Fiction, The Hangover, Inglorious Basterds just to name a few.

Alien is the first one that pops into my mind. Slowly panning camera through the empty black of space with the world "Alien" slowly spelled with the creep-ass music in the background? Awesome.

I'm probably the only one in the world, but I liked the intro to Wanted. Headshot from across town is pretty awesome.

Super Troopers intro is probably the best part of the movie.

Goldeneye
The Living Daylights
Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me

There is a lot of good James Bond intros.

Most of the Bond intros are very solid =)

Unfortunately this is the cut version. Well, it's stunning nonetheless.

Intro to Wanted is amazing. I agree.
Super Troopers was also hilarious.

Th Omaha beach sceme from Saving Private Ryan

I'd say return of the Jedi, it really showed how far luke got in his training between movie, breaking out Han in just an all out bad ass manner.

 

[stranamente]

Gotta say Fight Club... simply awesome from the credits to Bob's bitchtits.

This.
And The good Fellas.
And the Godfather.

SLC Punk, where they beat the rednecks and then "Sex and Violence" by The Exploited starts playing. I knew I would love the movie after that.

 

[Paulie92]

I actually really like the opening to In Bruges from memory it's just him talking but it really hooked me

 

[The_Eskimo]

Star Wars episode 3. Pew Pew Pew BOOM!!! vroooom!

 

[bigorexia]

The first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is really really impressive.

 

[JWW]

The opening scene from "Snatch". Introduced all the characters and their personalities in a few short minutes.

 

[Slaanax]

I was going to say Saving Private Ryan but Damn I forgot how funny that movie was.
