Best Movie Opening

[joggerjayne]

Ive always thought that Breakfast At Tiffany's had he best opening scene ... Holly getting out of the taxi, and Moon River, etc. But ...

I've put on a DVD of Pulp Fiction.

I'm kind of loving "I'm gonna execute every mother f'ing last one of you!"

Trainspotting... Definitely :) Choose life!

[ChillDoubt]

For sheer impact, probably Saving Private Ryan for me.

1) Ghost Ship
2) Baraka

Saturday Night Fever is one that I like.

i am biased of course, but this is the one for me.
it does not look like much for a while, but you can hear the music building up to the creschendo ... at around the 2' 10" point

Holly getting out of the taxi and Moon River was the end wasn't it? Never liked that movie, I thought she was a flimsy unendearing character.

[DJHawkes]

Opening credits to 'Star Wars'...the music specially.

I agree with Dot, but the ending scene of The Searchers is one of the most poignant in film history, in my opinion:

Hmmm... didn't download... try it again:

The opening scene of Ghost Ship is outrageous, I'd post a YT clip but it's a bit intense.

Just one more attempt:

[sandyRoe]

The opening scenes of Godfather 2 were a powerful piece of cinematography

[Zacs-Master]

The Italian job. A Lambourghini Muira driving through the Italian Alps with Matt Munro singing 'on days like these' over the top. Heaven. Shame the car, gets smashed up.

see if this works, Clanad
