What are the best opening scenes / opening minutes you've seen?

[Lazy Migrant]

For me it would have to be The Dark Night plane scene.



Another would be Mad Max Fury Road. When he's running from the War Boys.

Both of those openings got me interested immediately and just set the tone for the rest of the film.

the opening monologue of Gone Baby Gone is beautiful




that movie was Ben Affleck's first big work as a director and his best work to date (and yes that's counting The Town and Argo)

The beginning of the Dawn of the Dead remake was and immediately let me know that this was not going to be a shytty remake but a good horror movie in its own right.
