Hmmmmm I kno this is a very very very old thread...but its just that i was about to make my own thread wid this idea...but searched n saw that this thread had already been done...

if ne1 wants to kno the old one...here it is

OLD THREAD (http://movie-list.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1938&perpage=15&highlight=opening%20sequence&pagenumber=1)

but now seeing as new movies hav come out since then...wanted to kno if ne1s views have changed or still remain the same

personally i kno this may sound very pathetic to many of u, but i believe matrix reloaded opening sequence really did it for! i really liked the matrix code turning into a simple clock and den trinity causing mayhem all over the place

also like the office threat of resident evil where every1 starts to panick and the elevator sequence really got me hooked

now time for u people (new people who hav joined) to express what u feel is a really really good opening sequence and for u veterans, state if ur views remain the same or sum more added in ur list :whistle: :)


btw tisoy made this thread originally in the old thread.......(hope he doesnt mind)

Austin Powers in Goldmember
The Matrix
Catch Me If You Can
Blade II

There could be others, but that is all I recall :)

Terminator 2. Just plain cool.

The Matrix Reloaded :big grin:

and i'm still sticking w/ my answers in the old thread :)

For me:

Se7en
Fight Club
Spawn
LOTR: FOTR

and of course the first 35 minutes of Saving Private Ryan for it's impact

The Graduate

(Sticking with my old answer too)

And EVERYTHING done by Saul Bass.

And most of the works of Maurice Binder.

Jisatsu circle (2002) - Suicide Circle
http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/32/39/53m.jpg
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0312843/

54 high school girls throw themselves in front of a subway train. This appears to be only the beginning of a string of suicides around the country.
just imagine 54 girls throwing themselves (this is just beggining, later on; rather not tell yaa, hehehe)... blood, body parts, smashing heads... ofcours in Japanese style movie. great satire.

Me not deny, but it wasn't just Me. Illegal stuff is there & there's nothing I/U/We can do (to stop it or whatever). but I will be more careful in the future. thanks to remind Me... khhh khhh... :whistle:

lolz hahhahahahahahh lolz!!! LOL

ZUBi da King!!

From here on...back to main topic please :)

OK, NP. :D

I'd like to mention 2 (quite) new movies which have great start
(but later 'falls down'):

- GHOST SHIP (great opening scene at ship)
- FINAL FESTINATION 2 (highway & trunk scene)

this 2 scene's are really unforgettable :)

yes, the "ghost ship" opening is great, but i prefer the extended version of it, that's shown later in the movie

also great:
- se7en
- fight club
- goldmember
- scream (also one of the best killing scenes ever :))
- wedding singer

Oh yeah almost forgot....Luc Bessons "Taxi" has a great starting wid a guy on da motorbike tryin to beat his record....love that!!

After the whole incident with Apple I'm guessing JP nwouldn't want to take any extra risks. ;) :angel"

i was wondering....does kill bill have a good opening scene??

watched 2 fast 2 furious.agen...and that opening race is brilliant !!!

Yeah, my impression of the movie was that it didn't have anything but the cinematography of the first scene.

But I won't see the movie again for it. Coincedently, I watched today the first 10 minutes of the movie only. :)
