Which would be your pill of choice? If any.

Tough choice.

If you find the link on YouTube and 'right click' on the video you will see  'copy video url'  then click on that and 'paste' it into your post we can see the video you are referring to. 

I still remember people talking about the opening scene in "Jaws" when it hit the theaters in 1975. Living in the NYC area at the time I recall the effect it had on beachgoer's and coastal resort communities that summer.  Scared a lot of people.

Our life decisions can be a tough choice. This may be your lesser choice.

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

Why the obsession with links?

My favourite Bond opening.

Apocalypse Now - Opening sequence - The End

Do you have a video record of that?

I have a Apocalypse Now Blue ray 3 disc. The other was a trailer shown at an art house  late show. Either US debut of Mad Max or a midnight Rocky Horror Picture show.

 

They showed the trailers for Desparate Living and Pink Flamingos. Swear to Buddha I ran to the lobby most disgusting thing I had every seen in my life at that point. No links sorry I don't think youTube tolerates coprophagia or hideous looking people copulating.

Great movie but not so good intro

"people are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden"  5 5 5   nice bit at the end 

Swordfish into  2001 

 

and of course the bomb slo mo scene after the intro - was amazing - how the heck did they do THAT scene?  not quite the intro - but Travolta's intro was good 5 5 5

 

 

 

     My absolute favorite is the opening to The Sound of Music.  Love the slow panning shots, the slow music buildup, and then the zooming in to Julie on the mountaintop.  Superb.  

Still cringe when they trash the lambo ????

 

Idiocracy has by far the best intro

The intro to Delicatessen was pretty good.  As it progresses it makes you wonder W.T.F. is going on??!?  You soon find out nothing good....  Great movie btw if you haven't seen it.

 

 

This is an exceptional intro to a movie.

9 minutes in one shot.

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

Currently I spend at least 4 hours of an evening watching DVD movies every day ( buy them for between 50 cents and $2 from op shops ). I used to spend 4 hours of an evening watching tv, but it's become so woke and waaaaay too many ads, so I don't anymore.

In the past I'd go to the movies at least a couple times a week, but too expensive to do that now.

The introduction to Woody Allen's Manhattan is sublime.

Agreed.  A magnificent opening.  My favourite film by an American director.

Oh, the great opening of 'The World Is Not Enough' with Pierce Brosnan, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Patrick Malahide, and the Millennium Dome!

 

Quintessential Bond. Action packed and very witty too.

Opening of 'Die Hard With a Vengeance' - 'Summer in the City' with The Lovin' Spoonful - cool!

 

'Summer In The City'  with The Lovin' Spoonful - cool!

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