Opening scene- Apocalypse Now

 

Trailer - Pink Flamingos. I was too young. Ran out of the theatre and almost puked.

Do you have a video record of that?

Why no links? When the multicultural audience on the forum can appreciate your suggestions.

Pulp Fiction, the Honey Bunny scene.

 

Reservoir Dogs, the restaurant scene.

Agree, but without much effort you can find a YouTube link

While we are isolated, or self-isolated, in lock-down many of us see movies as a distraction.

Personally, I love the movie experience. The big screen and sound system is what the producers of a movie created. Alas, times have changed and, like shopping, there is a 'new normal'. The streaming version of a movie is often still based on the theater mode -- unless you have a mega-watts home-theater system you will need to have the volume control handy.

Are you shy?

Can't agree or disagree with your choices until you post some [readily available] vids

Odd.  It shows up for me on my IPad.

 

 

Just showed up from your original post for me .. maybe 3BB problem .. nothing new. Inspiring music but tells us nothing about the [great] movie.

Only one movie opening gave me chills when I saw it in the cinema at 14 and continues to give me a shiver every time I see it.

 

The cinematic version you posted sure did give my soundbar some exercise.

So many around the World are desperately in need of vaccines. It's easier to give when you have the foresight to have an abundance. The current US administration does [apparently] at least use that abundance for the common good, without ensuring a 'Quid pro quo'; the Chinese Communist Party not so much!!!

I assume you are referencing the credits when put on at the start. That doesn't happen very much now, and often don't even put the movie name at start.

It'd take more than a boring into to put me off watching the movie.

 

However, the intro scene of Winter Solstice is pretty good.

Thanks for your input. Glancing at your posting history I am impressed you have time to watch movies. Insomnia?

We all need to divert our mind, as best we can, from the many problems that currently exist.

Movies is one of my distraction 'go-tos'.

For me, the intro tells me a lot about whether I even want to watch it. Of course that's more about [the new norm] streaming.

When you buy a ticket to a movie theater you are somewhat committed, and will maybe just arrange your [ridiculously expensive] popcorn and soda while ignoring the intro; who really cares about who the senior grip-boy was? 

Your best intros?

Addendum: Placed my order at 12:15, received a message at 12:30 to say one item was not in stock --- would replace with similar [more expensive] item at no extra cost. It's approaching 13:00 now and the order has already been dispatched! If the products are as good as the service this company will be my number one choice.
