Forums - General - What movie has your most favorite opening scene?

Bark on 01 February 2008

I agree with Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I use the beginning of Top Gun to test out any newly purchased audio equipment. You can't go wrong with Kenny Loggins and afterburners.

Also, I am surprised no one mentioned the Matrix.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

SAW.

No backround story, no credits, just a man waking up in a bathtub not knowing where he is.

Creativity at it's finest.

That worm on a hook in the Return of the king was awesome IMO :D

Lord of War had a great opening scene, starts off with all the casings on the ground, and then that one quote from nicholas cage that is just great, all the way to the following of the bullet to that "shocking" sort of ending.

Swordfish is another great opening.

Matrix opening blew my mind the first time.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

Personally I like "Office Space" and how it started with a traffic jam set to mambo music.

Thinking of the cult movies made me think about what opening scenes have had the most visual impact on me.

Saving Private Ryan was the most intense, I think.

The original Star Wars was the best. Sitting up close the movie screen, of course, watching the ship go and go and go, getting bigger and bigger. And then being followed by the Death Star.

But right among those two, is the opening scene of Monty Python In Search of the Holy Grail. It just sets up the rest of the movie.

 


 Saving Private Ryan was cool and to 1up your Star Wars one, I think the opening part of Space Balls was pretty funny.
