goose Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Geez, I'm dating myself but here goes- - Opening scene of Jaws was so scary, when the girl is skinny dipping and gets attacked and John Williams' music is so foreboding- Beginning of Saturday Night Fever, when John Travolta is just walking through Brooklyn, carrying a can of paint, but it is so perfectly choreographed to "Stayin' Alive"- Beginning of Four Weddings and a Funeral, where Hugh Grant and his sister wake up late for their friend's wedding and let loose a bunch of F bombs and the classic "f**kety f**k, always makes me laugh so hard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjixdVvkfL4Yes...that's a great one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 My favorite is the opening scene to Raising Arizona, goes on nearly twenty minutes before the title hits. Also, with a completely different vibe, is the opening scene of Prometheus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved FWaaF. That opening scene is classic. I remember taking my mom to see that and her comment was "well the movie would have been good except for all the swearing at the beginning". I thought that was one of the best parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with a completely different vibe, is the opening scene of Prometheus. Big Lebowski along the same lines... "Sometimes theres a man...hes the man of his time and place. He fits right in there " Rolling along with the tumbling tumbleweeds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
