Revenge of the Sith

Insomniac01 · 09-23-2013, 10:08 PM

Kill Bill (do not really care for the first part but that start was amazing)
Kick-Ass (this always puts a smile on my face)
Star Wars (Episode 4, the opening shoot after the credits is extremely clever and sets up everything you need to now about the war. It is in fact so clever I am still shocked it was directed by the same man who directed the prequels).
Pans Labyrinth (go see this film now, I will not spoil anything)
Avatar
Hugo (immediately drew me into the world of the film, especially when viewed in 3d)

Reservoir Dogs

And I love Bond openings. My two favorite might be The Living Daylights and GoldenEye.

yhzmr · 09-23-2013, 10:53 PM

Apocalypse Now
Touch Of Evil
Dressed To Kill
almost any Bond movie

Abdrewes · 09-23-2013, 11:03 PM

Blow Out! that splendorous tracking shot gets me every time. Ridiculously fun!

nashcameronn · 09-23-2013, 11:22 PM

Oh and The Spy Who Loved Me. Skiing off a cliff. Ridiculously awesome stunt.

ultlife2013 · 09-23-2013, 11:41 PM

stvn1974 · 09-27-2013, 04:56 PM

The Dark Knight Rises

Armed men show up with three guys in hoods and says they work for Bane yet the CIA agent decides to wait until they get 3000 feet into the air before taking the hoods off. Brilliant.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - The rest of the movie was "meh", but I love the beginning of the movie. Seeing Logan and Victor fight in all the wars from the American Revolution to Vietnam was awesome.

Jurassic Park - A beginning of a movie that scared the crap out of me as a little kid. Great opening to a great movie.

Casino Royale - Great introduction to Bond in this one.

The Last Boy Scout - Great opening to a movie that really caught be by surprise by how good it is.

The Rundown - Love the fight scene in the club opening. Such a great way to open the movie.

Says a lot about the movie your fixin to watch with that opening.

Michael24 · 11-16-2015, 02:26 AM

I'm sure it's been listed already, but one of my favorites (naturally) . . .

lesco · 11-16-2015, 02:27 AM

The curtains in front of the cinema screen part, the Strauss theme starts, and the the opening minute and a half of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY blows me away at the impressionable age of 14.

But for a sense of giddy exhilaration that set me up to think "Oh I'm gonna LOVE this movie", I pick Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL, with that great opening music and tracking shot of the office.
