Your best opening in a film?

Cheers Pesty, I was going to put some further comments on it in my original post, but got a snotty mail from a mod once for putting some technical content in on a Glock thread; Pistonheads didn't need input like that apparently or some such rebuke, can't remember
You're right though, and a few weeks at Gunsite ranch wouldn't hurt the production values of a few films I can think of.
I bet you get annoyed by glocks with clicking safetys and constantly racking slides tooYou're right though, and a few weeks at Gunsite ranch wouldn't hurt the production values of a few films I can think of.

I thought the opening sequences for the Star Trek reboot were pretty awesome. James Kirk's birth amidst a massive battle and his father's suicide to an instrumental score was pretty amazing.
This.The music is stunning as is the sound use by reducing most of the othr effect sounds so your watching carnage set to such a gentle classical score.... right until your jolted back to reality when your with the Father as he hears his baby cry for the first time
The following conversation between George Kirk and his wife is so utterly heart wrenching and seems so real and honest. Very well acted between the two of them .
From the opening sequence of the U.S.S.Kelvin flying past the camera to the main Star Trek logo appearing on screen.... just the perfect way to start a movie.
For me, number 1 is the brilliant classical music overlaid opening to 'Casino' - superb opening for a superb film. Scorsese at his best. Agree with many of the films already mentioned in the thread i.e. Inglorious Basterds & Saving Private Ryan (the beach landing). I've also always liked the opening to 'Point Break' - the surfing interspersed with Keanu letting rip with about 5 million rounds of ammo on the range

I must watch PB again - brilliant film.Not sure if been posted already, but the opening scene of Casino royale, mostly deleted from the release, I think is great
