Best start to a film

[BLS]

The Godfather.

"I believe in America"

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

It is brilliant - I love how precise the whole (10 minute?) scene is

back on Netflix this month along with a few other Tarantino films, Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight and Pulp Fiction. Some good films this month.

 

[Big Swifty]

Reading all these, it seems films only began in about 2003, some time after football began in 1992.

For instance, has no one mentioned the fabulous opening to John Huston's 1952 "Moulin Rouge"?

 

[OB1]

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

[super_city_si]

Inglorious basterds. First scene is long but incredible.

Also pulp fiction.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Rocky 3

 

[Dicko69]

2001 A Space Odyssey

 

[growl]

A Touch of Evil. Film making re-invented, yet again, by Orson Welles.

 

[eversince 76]

Once upon a time obviously.

Opening scene James Bonds’ Casino Royale with the fantastic running scene needs to get a mention.

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

 

[allblackcitizen]

Not forgetting Betty Blue

Along similar lines, Gaspar Noe's "Love"

 

[allblackcitizen]

Layer Cake
Vanilla Sky
Inglorious Bastards
Goldeneye (probably quite a lot of Bonds - which was the one where he ski's off a cliff to reveal the Union Jack parachute?)

Spy Who Loved Me (i think)

 

[Blue Til Death]

Nothing comes close to Saving Private Ryan, mesmerising and horrifying at the same time ... Top quality directing, production and cinematography ..

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Spy Who Loved Me (i think)

Cheers - I like it anyways

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Can't believe Baby Driver doesn't get a sniff

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Saturday Night Fever - carrying a paint tin'll never be the same again

 

[BLUEYESTU]

The beginning titles to Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Only time I’ve been creased up laughing before the first scene! “Titles by Ralph the Wonder Llama” etc. Funny as fuck! :-)

 

[FCBarca]

Matrix
