Favorite Movie Intro

[FrostKing]

This probably takes the cake. It’s a pretty mediocre movie after the opening scene but people consider it a great movie just because of the first 20 mins.

USA was pulling men out of War meanwhile Soviet women were taking up arms

"We defeated the Nazis"

[Will Hunting]

You realize that this is a fictional movie, right?

I agree with The Ringer that The Social Network is by far the best movie of the past 20 years tbh. The opening scene where Zuckerberg gets dumped, and then the Facemash hacking scene after it are just about perfect.

This tbh

2001: A Space Odyssey

[Will Hunting]

Couldn’t find a youtube for the full clip, but this is one of my favorites:



“How am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog munching dink you are if you don’t?”

The movie gets a lot of criticism, but I really like it. And the intro itself is a work of art IMO, which gives the viewer 40 years worth of history for these characters and the Watchmen universe. And Bob Dylan fits perfect with it.

The intro is incredible tbh, and one of the few good things about that movie. Zach Snyder is way better at making cool slo-mo montages than actual movies.

Another all-timer




And then the Juarez scene is amazing too. The first 45 minutes or so of Sicario is some of the best work ever put on film, but it loses steam really badly after that.

And the Polish men bent over and took it up the ass years earlier

2001: A Space Odyssey

Beat me to it.

Love the finish also.

“.........Yo!”

“You’re a couple of pan heads trying to buy a machine gun out of a trunk”

Underrated movie in general imo

Personally, it's my favorite comic movie of all time and the only comic movie I prefer to the book.
