The best movie intros...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

What are your favourite movie intros - i.e. the first couple of minutes of the film.

For pure attention grabbing arty genius it's A Clockwork Orange - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Su9eNg4T798

Also, Battle Royale - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LfJxyw0VmCE

I'm just a classical music whore and then the fantastic - it's a girl, the winner is a girl....AND SHE'S SMILING! Ack.

The groovy Jewish intro from Snatch - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TXfdOgTWoxM

Shame that this upload has the subtitles for the stupid. When the opening credits roll you just know you're in for a stupidly entertaining caper movie.

One more, Apocalypse Now intro -

[Captain Kirk]

I have always liked the start of Day of the Dead with the whole HELLO! on the megaphone and a massive army of zombies start going towards them, plus the new Dawn of the Dead made me think it was going to be a good movie.

[Summers]

Jaws has to be up there.

[NobBe Nobbs]

You're all wrong as is everyone who will post after me.

Tropic Thunder.

[Thatz]

I agree with Apocalypse Now.

I really like the opening to the Godfather, too.

[DeeJam]

We Own The Night. Eva Mendes should of earned an Oscar for the intro of that movie alone

[Pepsi]

Casino Royale (the Daniel Craig one), just because in a relatively simple opening the manage to completely rewrite James Bond as a character.

[James Casey]

Star Wars

I mean, seriously, watching that intro in a cinema, when the blockade runner and the Star Destroyer come swooping overhead... Nothing to top it.

[VerbalPuke]

The intro to Trainspotting is good, as is the intro to The Road Warrior.

Actually, I think my favorite is from the Warriors with the bad ass music and all of the gangs marching to the meeting.

[GRIFT]

For a better submission, I am a fan of the SLC Punk opener. Red neck beat down followed by Punk Poster styled credits that set the town for the movie. Oh, and Matthew Lillard before he sucked donkey dick. Not a bad combination.

Pulp Fiction. The restaurant scene builds and builds, very casual, very relaxed then "EVERYBODY BE COOL! THIS IS A ROBBERY!" "ANY OF YOU FUCKING PIGS MOVE! AND I'LL EXECUTE EVERY LAST MOTHERFUCKING ONE OF YA!"

Yeah, a lot of the Bond films have great openings. Casino Royale's is probably my favorite.

I thought of a few more films with good openings...

Citizen Kane

The Dark Knight

Goodfellas

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Graduate

[MasterOfPain]

This>*

Seriously, this is one of the best opening scenes in any film i've seen.

[NotoriousGTT]

In the same vein as Snatch i love the opening from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Always makes me laugh, the hookey mockney slang and all.

Yeah that's a great intro. Ocean Colour Scene was a great choice and Jason Statham looked so young....In fact, looking it up, he was only 26 at the time.

[GoGo Yubari]

Reservoir Dogs.

[GhostMachine]

Goldeneye

[YI]

Naked Gun.

[Mick]

Mad Max.

Lol! I haven't seen that clip for years and its just reminded me of what I'm like at work after a few pints.
