Hardboiled

Way of the Gun, where they offer to fuckstart Sarah Silverman's head after she talks shit and then immediately get the shit kicked out of them.

REALLY?

>*record scratch*

>Hey, thats me, you might be wandering how I got into this predicament

any kino this is in

The world is changing...

Dawn Of The Dead intro.
youtube.com/watch?v=YJ1uiiLcHJk

Day of the Dead is pretty good to.

youtube.com/watch?v=L5_UAb5xqiI

I remember how hyped the Dawn of the Dead remake intro got me, too bad it turned into complete shite.

Hardcore Henry has a based intro.

I like zombie films that get straight into it.

fucking great masterpiece. the "hellos" sync so well with the music.

Inglorious Basterds

I believe in america

DIE HARD 3

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop-
-BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

youtube.com/watch?v=GLjzPwm4mUI

this but unironically

It's Raiders

>favorite
idk
Hellraiser has a nice opening, dude gets ripped apart.

FUCKING
THIS

wild at heart

i love the original romero trilog but i cant not think of seinfeld when i hear those ''hello's''

helloooo la la la

Anything by Russ Meyer.

No one intro a movie like Russ Meyer and no one edits like him, a talent beyond his time.

Gladiator

Killing Them Softly

Well, there was me......

Children of Men. Boom

Technically it's not the opening scene, that's the fight, but this opening credits sequence is basically Zack Snyder's hall pass:

youtube.com/watch?v=h24D87SqaLQ

Less than 2 minutes in:

>"It's an ugly planet, a BUG planet!"

GOAT

I never noticed Gerard Butler's in the credits. And over Dr. Manhattan, too. That takes balls.

Speaking of opening scenes: youtube.com/watch?v=gSTXNzT-ZgM

28 Weeks Later has a pretty badass opening scene as well.

I fucking love montage intros

The intro to the departed is forever ingrained in my mind

...

...

La Horla De Los Hornos

youtube.com/watch?v=2Q6_9A90cUk

Just for nostalgia purposes though. This is the first movie I can remember watching. That opening shot of Ace's feet is a comforting memory for me. My parents must have bought the tape for me when I was 4. Still have it too. It even has my initials written on it by my mother from when I would take it to the baby sitter's house.

Roxie Hart cucking her husband in Chicago.

ha, what a random choice.

...

Has the actual used-in-the-film version of this track ever been released? The official score version isn't the same.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

...

Temple of Doom

I'm talkin' about...ethics.

High Fidelity

>What came first: the music or the misery?

The Last Boy Scout

What kino?
inb4 pleb

Conan the Barbarian.
Starts with Conan's dad telling him some fantastic worldbuilding mythic, ending in "We who found it, are just men. Not Gods. Not Giants. Just men."

youtube.com/watch?v=GVx4LafsvSU

Then it goes into Riders of Doom, which is amazing.

Conan doesn't aspire to any particularly lofty heights, but when it comes to doing everything you aimed to do perfectly, it's probably very close to perfect.

Hardboiled

Also, Magnolia with the coincidences + the character introduction.

NICE LADY I'M HOITING

Probably The World's End

>And you know what? It never did.

ME GUSTA TOCAR GUITARRA

Underrated
youtu.be/0Bgo-KrwdAw

BRAAAAAP

Best opening scene ever.

>Smells like balls

It tells you just about everything you need to know about the world during a chase scene there are a lot of little details you can catch too.

I feel it in the water...

this is legit one of my favs opening. better than mos opening

youtube.com/watch?v=vdqbdEKeJ_4

Off the top of my head.

youtu.be/3N4uXfnH2aA

Am I the first person to post unironically?

I love the opening credits.
>We don't know

FANCYPANTS, ALL OF YA'S!

youtube.com/watch?v=BLMxoDZDHDk
How bout this?

The Shining
Saving Private Ryan
All 3 (sic) Indys
28 Days Later (not the actual opening but sequence from hospital onwards)
Heat
There Will Be Blood
The Godfather (cliché but can't skip "l believe in America")
Sin City

Good question OP. I'm sure l've forgotten a lot of great ones.

The same thing you saw a million times, but in slow motion wo oh....

Name a better one
Protip: you can't
youtu.be/VHn1zogeyO4

I guess theres no point in any of us going with the obvious since we all know

hell yeah
every time i watch it even though we all know the explosion happens but because of the music i can never pinpoint the exact point and it gets me by surprise every time

28 Weeks Later came to mind immediately. It's great

Not a contester as one of the best, but I thought the opening of Coraline was very charming

youtube.com/watch?v=UTHCGcFH6jk

The intro was my favourite part of the movie, unless we count the the deleted Hollis Mason fight scene.

This is the worst opening scene ever, because after that greatness the rest of the movie felt even more shit than it was.

KINO
I
N
O

there is a comet in the intro that is the alien ion sky

Probably Up. Too bad the rest of the movie couldn't live up to it.

youtube.com/watch?v=I4TOYp0_6lc

Two Towers

The balloon burst.

yep, mine too.

The Rock
youtube.com/watch?v=T4O5LccxCDo

"They're not coming for us are they sir?"

youtube.com/watch?v=MzsVV2by3Vw

You are now manually dancing with your feet.

This is what came to mind immediately for me too.Too bad the rest of the film is shit.

this scene and some Nick Cage scenes almost made it a good movie

Once Upon a Time in the West
