Your best opening in a film?

[Veeayt]

I don't have to walk too far to name one. 2001, No country for old men, Master&commander to name a few and different. But the real thing, the one that gives me goosebumps, is this.

For some reason I can't even name.

So what's yours?

[Patch1875]

Either saving private Ryan or the exorcist.

[FourWheelDrift]

Would it be too obvious to say The Italian Job.

Or Possibly The Cannonball Run.

It's PH for dang sake! You're welcome!

Either "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster" or "Choose Life"

[Asterix]

SPR was the first combat film that sounded 'proper' imho and the opening was stunning.

Lord of War is cool.

[Johnspex]

Dirty harry. The music really adds to the tension. Have a look.

So Goodfellas or Trainspotting. Both very good!

I might be wrong, but was it FC Kahuna in the beginning?

[viggyp]

Ooh. Top of my head, Cannonball Run and Transformers The Movie. Seeing a planet in total peace going into utter bedlam.

I shall return with more once I can think of them

[Rollcage]

It was FC Kahuna to over the opening credits. The film starts with the RS6 overlaid with She sells Sanctuary as it bombs down the road to Stoke Park.

[nicanary]

Going back a bit - David Lean's "Great Expectations". Spooky black-and-white graveyard scene on the marshes when Pip first meets Magwitch. Eerie and very atmospheric.

[HTP99]

Either Batman the Dark Night or The Dark Night Rises; both have awesome opening scenes.

Dropped in to post both of these, though Lord of War is the opening credits, if we're being pedantic!

[FourWheelDrift]

Watchmen.
