For me it has to be Blue Velvet - the music, the picture perfect town and the way the camera descends, and that white picket fence against that blue sky...I could go on! The beetles - so many beetles!
saving private ryan. that opening sequence is fantastic.
I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come, when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! THIS DAY! WE FIGHT!!
I saw Punch Drunk Love the other day, that film has a pretty interesting first few minutes. Sorry if you haven't seen it, but what's that car flipping down the street got to do with anything?
Alive. The opening sequence with the crash. Absolutely fantastic

What about the opening sequence in 'Swordfish'? All that slo-mo explosion action just blew me away. Far and away the only decent thing about that movie, with perhaps the exception of Halle berry's norks.

HB's bits weren't all that and she was so selfconcious you couldn't pay for it.
Now she looked far more comfortable with Billy Bob in Monster's Ball!

I'd never seen this film so when I saw it going for a couple of quid in the Jan sales I bought it - simply because I'd heard about this fantastic opening scene when the film first came out.
Didn't do a thing for me!
Nothing more to say about it really, maybe if I'd managed to get past the opening scene/sequence then I'd have more to say! The fact that I wasn't able to get past the opening scene/sequence though probably speaks volumes!

On of my favorites is Dario Argento's The Stendahl Syndrome, with Asia Argento walking through the museum. No dialogue at at all but only another amazing score from Ennio Morricone which leads her to hallucinate from the power of all the art work surrounding her.

I also like the opening sequence of the 'DAWN OF THE DEAD' remake, currently showing, it's brilliant!
It were proper BO', I tell thee!
BLADE! I'd forgotten that! All that red! Yeah!
Crap film though - no wonder I forgot it!
