Most Memorable Film Intro?
 

Mine? Forest Gump...



Every time I see a feather in the air, I think of that film, and hear the intro music in my mind...

Yours?

the one with the roaring lion
short but memorable
can't remember movie title

First thing that comes to mind is Commando with Arnold lol

28 days later

the only punisher movie i really enjoyed, brutal and funny.

and



I love Countach's

It takes a few minutes but irreversible starts out with a guy getting his head caved into a pancake with a fire extinguisher. It's pretty unnerving when you have no idea what the movie is about and aren't expecting it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars

Does the first 20mins. of Saving Private Ryan count as an intro?

That'd get my vote.

Reservoir Dogs

"The Player." Eight minute tracking shot.

No doubt

That's a great one! Didn't Scorcese do something similar for Goodfellas?
And something similar for The Birdcage by Mike Nichols?

Low Key
 

Try THE PLAYER, a Robert Altman, where in the opening scene, Fred Ward explains how current movies are MTV, cut, cut, cut. Where Hitchcock takes A scene to create a whole movie.
Took me several minutes into the movie to get it.

This is an old one, but it's pretty powerful.

Opening scene of "The Wild Bunch".

Nothing beats the opening to Star Wars.

Can't think of one but you have some really good examples here :thumbsup

Blade Runner :)

As far as superhero movies go, I think X-Men Origins: Wolverine did a very good job of telling the back-story during the opening credits instead of spending the first half of the movie bringing everybody up to speed.

:thumbsup

Goodfellas!!

Not really open for debate in my opinion. Amazing shot. You meet all the important players right there in the opening sequence.

Way of the Gun by a landslide!

This one is quite memorable to me... :thumbsup:thumbsup

This one always makes me laugh. Scary Movie 2 intro

Oh yeah, especially when vets running to puke at the theaters made the news after it's release. Definitely counts.

Star Wars was the first that came to mind for me.

Lord Of War - Bullet cam intro

Great opening sequence!

Beat me to it, I just re-watched it recently, still one of the most fascinating audiovisuals ever made in film.

Trainspotting and If I'm allowed a little leeway than the very opening frame, the beginning of Saving Private Ryan or Gladiator.

A Clockwork Orange:




American Psycho:




Day of the Dead (1985) - Think Danny Boyle was inspired by this for 28 Days Later??

toss-up between the newsreel that begins Citizen Kane and Woody Allan's monolog that starts Annie Hall.

Top Gun

"Le cousin" the introduction of the movie ends with a suicide.

this was my favorite back in the day.

Heavy metal 1981

Mine too. :thumbsup

Wasn't expecting anyone else to say this one but definitely. Was based on the directors real life experience too.

Also have to go with John Dies at the End's Axe conundrum.
