What Is The Best Opening Film Scene Of All Time?

Starting! Off! Strong!

Look, the art of a good first impression isn't JUST important for people — it's also incredibly important in filmmaking.

The first few minutes of a good movie should manage to captivate you while simultaneously setting up the world and introducing the main players...it's A LOT to pull off well.

So — in your opinion — what is the absolute BEST opening scene in any movie EVER?

Maybe the first five minutes of The Dark Knight changed your life forever with how genuinely incredible it was.

Or perhaps you think "The Circle of Life" sequence from The Lion King is the only opener that matters.
