Quote from: MacGuffin"Scream"

Definitely, there is nobody on earth who can say that the beginning of that isnt fucking awesome. Even if its a bit corny, if you say that didnt effect you, then your a pretentious film snob.

Saving Private Ryan has an opening that is better than the rest of the film and is prolly one of the best filmed sequences in history. Just wanted to say that one, though I am going with 8 1/2 as best.

I was about to say that almost any Kubrick film but P already did, isn't the aerial sequence of The Shining one of the best ever? Did you know that SK initially hired a different company to do those shots, he didn't like the result so he hired another one, with magnificent results; I might add that the ending sequence of Blade Runner was taken from the same footage of SK's team, only that that sequence was never considered in the final cut of TS.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels for best filmed opening.

I was very impressed with Catch Me If You Can's title intro. Really cool stuff.

if someone hasn't mentioned it already -- THE PLAYER & THE CONVERSATION.

i really like the opening shot to carnal knowledge.

Ed Wood's opening scene (with the credits, criswell/jeffrey jones, etc.) is fucking great.

The first 10 minutes of Raising Arizona (before the title sequence) could be a short film w/in itself.

my favorite intro of all time (at the moment

) is:

The Godfather
