Best opening to a movie

Unfortunately the opening scene in Earthquake is probably the best part of the movie now days especially with the great John William score but back in 1974-75 it was a big event on the big screen especially backed by the gimmicky sensurround, the movie in todays standards has not held up well with some really hokey special effects and bad editing but it is still a hoot to watch and some of the effects even today hold up well years before CGI was in full force.

I'll nominate The Revenant. Love that movie.

Some good nominations in here. I second Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Up!, Full Metal Jacket, and Inglorious Basterds.

Gladiator starts with a bang, too. As does Gangs of New York. Awesome opening scene.

I don't know that Full Metal Jacket can be topped for impact. OP may have nailed this thread in the first post

28 weeks later ... i was exhausted watching this the first time. My first thought was Holy Shit that's only the opening, there's still 90 mins to go lol


My personal favourite.

The opening is intense.

It is brilliant.
