Poll: Best Opening Scene In A Movie - Part 2
These films captured our attention right from the get go. Their opening scene set the tone for the rest of the movie and ensured we would want to learn more shortly thereafter. Since this list looks at the introductory segments of a film, scenes like the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan (1998), which is technically the second scene in the movie, will not qualify.
In your opinion, which film had the most memorable, generally awesome opening scene for a movie?
After voting, you may discuss the poll here.
