Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 There are several that I can think of, but I'll hold my thoughts until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincySportsFan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 First one that comes to my mind is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Will have to think more on some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 First one that comes to my mind is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Will have to think more on some others. That's definitely one that came to mind for me. Saving Private Ryan and The Dark Knight two others that jumped to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 2001: A Space Odyssey - Ape using the bone to murder based on influence of monolith. Star Wars - Opening credits followed by initial spaceship chase scene. Most any James Bond 007 movie, especially Goldfinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The three here are... really good. I'll say that an opening scene that hooked me in (and that I still consider to be really good) but was followed by a fairly dull movie: Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Using a news report for the prologue to set up his vision of Verona as a weird amalgamation of Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Miami and then immediately rolling into Act I, Scene 1 as a shootout between Benvolio's Montague boys and Tybalt's Capulet gang... *chef's kiss* The fact that Benvolio and Tybalt are hilariously portrayed by Jamie Kennedy and John Leguizamo... just amazing.

JCVD Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think the obvious one is Bloodsport. The opening sequence where we see all the fighters practicing their craft. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Cat Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Not a movie but the opening scene of "East Bound and Down" had me hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldweatherfan Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) The Dark Knight bank robbery scene. Pulp Fiction Restaurant scene. Lord of the Rings battle scene. Another great opening scene is Dusk Till Dawn. Actually it is a great first 30 minutes, but after that point, it is just awful.
