Best Opening Scene to a Film

Can remember going to see it at the pictures with my kids, and started to fill up at that bit.

The only film I ever cried at, apart from when Boon and his mates were tormenting John Merrick.

I didn't have children when it came out and was debating going to see it as an adult on my own but wasn't sure if that was a bit weird.

Then I got talking to a neighbour who asked if I knew anyone who could mind her children while she worked a Saturday shift as her childcare had let her down. I offered on the condition I could take them to the pictures so I had an excuse to go 😁
 


A mention for A History of Violence..........two guys check out of a motel then one asks the other to refill his water bottle........


I know its not the opening scene but I'm going to post it anyway.......

Quite like the opening of From Dusk til Dawn but, my favourite, and one I watch just the opening for is….

Always loved that first scene in the first Star wars when that massive ship goes on and on as it flies overhead. remember watching it and knowing we were in for a fun time. (Not many movies back then gave you a fun time..most were miserable moral tales where no goodness survives)
 
Yes, Star Wars holds the torch, but I’m offering Inglorious Bastards. Edge of your seat from the start and Waltz basically won the Oscar on the strength of that one scene. It’s incredible.

For a long time I thought the opening scene to Inglorious Basterds was probably the greatest intro. But watching The Godfather the other day I changed my mind. There’s something about that opening that’s so good in letting you know exactly who Don Corleone is and setting the whole tone. What’s...
