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?

 

 

 

 

 

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?

The introduction to Woody Allen's Manhattan is sublime.

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.

Scarily prophetic, like Idiocracy.

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

It's always good to have a sense of humour

Pulp Fiction, the Honey Bunny scene.

 

Reservoir Dogs, the restaurant scene.

The opening seconds of "Where Eagles Dare" as the aircraft comes over the ridge in the Alps - really only works on the big screen...

 

"Broadsword calling Danny Boy."
