The best first scene/act of any film...

[odyssey2200]

Kelly's Heros is a good one.
Sat in a German traffic jam in an American jeep.

Just been on telly now. Don't know what all the fuss is about. Seems there's no such thing as an internet movie thread without a Goodfellas or Shawshank Redemption wkfest. Both, overated to fk.

GTFO

I agree especially regarding shawshank

I preferred Casino to Goodfellas, so what do I know !

Poor camera angle ruins it, should be pointing to the horizon.

For some unknown reason, I've always loved the start. I think it's around 12 minutes before anyone speaks?

+1. It's a good bit of film, its just looking down at the road too much instead of looking ahead.

Best copy I can find.

[mildmannered]

Worthy of a mention. Pitch Black

[TREMAiNE]

Pulp Fiction
Inglorious Basterds
Reservoir Dogs

I'm not a massive Tarentino fan but that guy sure does know how to open a film in an epic manor.

[Farky]

Saving Private Ryan........oh and Bad Boys!!

[Moonhawk]

One of my all time favourites - Terminator 2 (although this is the only vid I could find and seem to be a hack job)

I think this is pretty good for a new-ish film! http://vimeo.com/51833852

Obviously lots of classics out there that will trump this though
