What is the best opening scene/ sequence of any movie? And why is it the animated Lion King?
Equilibrium. Definitely a B movie. Call it a Matrix clone if you will, but that opening was an incredible experience in the theater.
Equilibrium is definitely a fun movie, but it’s hard to avoid the fact that the Matrix does it better.
I remember it had a “Forget the Matrix!” quote on the cover, but when I saw it on a rental store shelf many years ago someone had put a store sticker on it so it just read “get the Matrix!”
Vada Chennai
Inglorious bastards
Good one.
This and Drive are the two top answers for opposite reasons.
Kinda, but in essence they’re both about hiding and escaping from an overwhelming foe.
Terrifying performance.
Drinking milk has never been the same.
That’d be a specific vintage porn movie, one that I’m so very fond of to these days. 🧐
Hot Dog the Movie? /s
Hope the Iemon stealing whores don’t steal any of our lemons.
Love the opening to Pulp Fiction
x-men origins wants a word (rest of the movie is…not that great) https://youtu.be/kpcQOPz-HaE
I really like this summation of wars.
Magneto’s origin in the first X-Men movie has always stuck with me. What a way to set up a character.
Damn, I had forgotten how good that opening was.
Contact the movie was almost as good as the book.
It’s Baby Driver for me too, I will always be happy to watch
Baby Driver
Casino Royale
Pretty hard to beat the opening sequence of The Dark Knight. Really sets the tone for the whole movie.
Saving private Ryan
Such an incredible scene, and it really brings home the horror the soldiers went through
I forgot about that. PTSD
I mean none of the others even come close to this. And that’s without it being all but true.
The Dark Knight
Drive
Underrated movie!
Standalone short film that would’ve gotten into 80 festivals lol
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.
