Favorite Movie Openings

When the writers get free rein in the opening credits.....

A good opening creates interest, & sets the stage without giving up to much....

When the writers get free rein in the opening credits.....

Might not be a movie, but for some reason I really like the intro to True blood, it just catches the series perfect I think.

Ok....it may sound too obvious...but the best of the best is Titanic for me
...then I will post the 2nd and 3rd places too.

Cameron said he edited this at home with his PC.

For TV shows, my favorite openings of all time are in Breaking Bad.
Each one is new, a visual feast, & integral to the story.
Creepy (pun intended)....

The greatest thing about that opening is its descendant....

 

[Revoltingest]

James Horner's score is integral.
This is just after the credits end...

 

[Revoltingest]

It looks outdated now, but at the time it was really impressive.

Clockwork Orange Intro

The only beautiful thing of this movie is Alex....
The rest (plot...scenes) is highly disturbing ....

The only beautiful thing of this movie is Alex....
The rest (plot...scenes) is highly disturbing and nightmarish...

Actually my first choice was 2001, but @ChristineM already put it up.

I was kidding btw...
Every person to their taste.
I did watch that movie only once... exlusively because of McDowell...

Clockwork Orange Intro

That was on my list of choices and Reservoir Dogs, 2001 won

 

[Subduction Zone]

It looks outdated now, but at the time it was really impressive.

Since the days of huge screens are long past the true scope of that beginning can no longer be fully appreciated. Watching it on my monitor it does not awe at all.

I wonder how it would work with VR goggles.

Great opening.

It's supposed to be disturbing.
And it succeeds.
