Best Intro To a Movie You've Ever Seen?



Kubrick indicating thousands of years of evolution, fantastic.
 
Saving Private Ryan was epic on the first view, especially if you got to see it at the cinema. I can't match that in terms of action but I have always loved the intro to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, funny and you know this is gonna be one trippy movie.

 
That movie Scream when it came out in the mid-nineties was pretty shocking in the first few minutes for it's time, and whilst it's quite dated now and cheesy, it was pretty innovative in the sense it set the tone for the movie shockingly rather than build up the tension slowly but surely in previous horrors.
 
Trainspotting (excuse the subtitles)

 
Oh and not to be picky or anything Emu, but I'm sure the intro the SPR is actually an old dude in a graveyard.

I'll refrain from the use of expletives that you deserve.

Kind of instant thread failure tbf, good job I came along to save it.

No need to thank me.
 
Don't you have any other great intros for us?

Indiana Jones, Raiders (with Molina) or Last Crusade (Phoenix), they're both awesome.
 
Rushmore

Wild Strawberries

Hidden Fortress: two peasants walking (think C3PO and R2D2 at the start of Star Wars), guy comes stumbling across screen with an arrow through his head. Couldn't find it on Youtube.

Saving Private Ryan's intro is extaordinary stuff.

Irreversible's intro made me phsically sick, with the camera spinning and then those two guys, it made me want to vomit and I had a heahache for the rest of the film.
 
The Departed, simply for the music. Best intro song to anything, ever.

Yeah that was my first thought. Some horror films can take so bloody long to build up to the story that by time you get to the good stuff, you're bored out your bloody mind. But Scream was a whole different thing entirely, it all seemed so innocent in the first few minutes. Drew Barrymore making popcorn and talking to this 'friendly' guy on the phone then 2 minutes later, she's sliced and diced :nervous:

Brilliant movie, could still watch it over and over again it's that good.
 
Godfather 1 always drags me straight in, but I'll go with Kubrick again, and A Clockwork Orange.
The movie just grabs your attention and won't let go
