I thought i'd start a disscusion on what our favourite
opening film scenes are...

Personally the opening 10 minutes of full metal jacket
is just amazing.. u know the one where the Sgt Major chap
just rips the **** out of the new marine recruits.
im not sure whether this guy won any awards for this role.
for me he deserve an oscar. just brilliant.

(how i wish we had a widescreen version of this classic. its criminal that they released this film in lousy 4:3)

my other choice along with im sure others is
saving private ryan... enough said.

brian.......
 
I think the intro to goldmember was pretty funny, spoofing his own film with, tom cruise an gwyneth paltrow.
 
this has definitely been done before

However, Magnolia has a very good opening

as does Goldmember

Brian, the 4:3 version is full frame rather than pan and scan. This means you can mask the film down yourself to get the correct aspect ratio.
 
Well if we're still playin :D then I'll say Pulp Fiction again :p
 
Im rather fond of the opening scenes of Outbreak (esp the sound)
 
Nothing beats the opening sequence of Jaws for me
 
This has been done before ....

But the opening of the Matrix gives me tingles :D

(Warning: Do not quote the above and edit it to "shingles". Thank you :D :p)
 
A little bit ol' skool, but the beginning of 2001: ASO.

More recently, I'd agree that Goldmember and Goldeneye have great intros. In fact any film beginning with "Gold". Hmmm... I'm obviously onto something here...

MuFu.

P.S. Gold Pulp Fiction is great, yeah.

Ice age:D Scrat trying to bury his nut:eek: :eek:

Also most of the ''Bond'' films had great opening scenes.
 
Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Good old fashioned Laserdisc.
 
Swordfish and Terminator 2.
 
Terminator 2.
Conan the Barbarian
Saving Private Ryan.
Know it's not the intro but- Borg scene in First Contact.
 
Has been done before.;)

Living Daylights and Star Wars.
 
Goldmember (only good bit of the film) or the Ferrari/Aston race in Goldeneye.

Close to it is the first 8 minutes of Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) with Henry Fonda as a real bad dude. No talking for the entire 8 minutes, it's absolutely brilliant.:cool:
 
star wars saw it as a kid the star destroyer just blow me away
