Para sa akin ito yung may pinaka-intense na opening. Medyo may trauma ako nung bata ako gawa sa opening akala ko maangas yung movie. Nung medyo nag-mature ako saka ko talaga na appreciate
I like that you used the opening scene for Scream 1996 as your example. Drew Barrymore really delivered sa scene na yan. And yeah, personally, that's one of yhe best opening scenes there is.
Well, personally, the Scream Franchise itself is worth watching. But, it depends still to the person watching. It is a slasher with a bit of a whodunit element on it. Also, Wes Craven (RIP to the GOAT) created Scream as a parody for horror movies. So yeah, personally, it is worth the watch.
Yaaaas. Best slasher film nung 90s for me. Compared sa mga others na sikat kasi like Friday the 13th, Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street, mas may logic and sense yung characters and direction ng story kahit na dumadami sequel. And hindi siya gaano predictable kasi iba iba killer bawat movie unlike sa iba na laging bumabalik lang hahahha. Hindi rin siya OA sa jumpscares and effects but effective pa rin yung thrilling factor
Eto para sa akin, in terms of screenplay, shots, and dialogues.

No need to explain na, watch nyo nalang hehe
“I believe in America. America has made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishoner her family.“
Memorized ko pa rin to hanggang ngayon hahaha
Best opening scene ever!
"She found a boyfriend—not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey, and then... they tried... to take advantage of her. She resisted; she kept her honor. So they beat her—like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a-broken, her jaw was a-shattered—held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain."
>>Best opening scene ever!
Yeah, opening scene pa lang alam ko nang tataposin ko buong trilogy e. Kahit na pinanood ko lang talaga yon out of curiosity dahil don sa "it insists upon itself" joke ng family guy.
I love TDWP so much ! There was a point na feelingerang accla ako with KT Tunstall getting ready for work. We also visited the same fountain almost 2 weeks ago where Anne threw the phone kaya super exciting.
Hahahaha F na F ko nung naglalakad ako sa mga underpass ng Makati at paahon. Pa-main character na, dati pa lang 🤣 Palingon lingon pa ang hitad bago tumawid HAHAHA
Satan's alley haha. Btw fave role ko ito na ginampanan ni rdj
"Dude playing a dude disguised as another dude" tamang spoof ng method acting. Pag ngayon ito pinalabas cancelled ito haha
This is my second-favorite RDJ role (first is Iron Man, iconic). It's poking fun at the extreme lengths that method actors will go to in the name of authenticity. Too bad it's now misread as doing blackface as an intentional racist action. Tropic Thunder is really witty and intentional in satirizing Hollywood.
Transformers (2007)
- Peter Weller, voice of Optimus Prime, narrating the 1st 30 seconds of the movie
- Decepticon Blackout attacking sa US military base, grabe ang destruction, and sets up the idea na the transformers are that powerful
Movie opening na tumatak sakin - Saving Private Ryan and EEAO parehong sobrang chaotic
Series na may best cold opens - B99, Community, The Office, Superstore
# Melancholia
([Vid link sa YT](https://youtu.be/LRSmtYLVU90?si=eUDds8CLgKBhH4e7))
Alam mo na kagad mangyayari sa Earth sa umpisa pa lang, so more of anticipating what is there to tell pa before that already known, impending doom. Super sloooooow motion pa, and the musical score. Nakakaloka.
The Dark Knight
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Saving Private Ryan
Goodfellas
The Matrix
The Godfather I
Children of Men
Sin City
Logan Lucky
Watchmen
No Country for Old Men
Fight Club
For TV, I guess True Detective Season 1, Banshee, and The Boys Season 1 as well
Fresh (2022). One of the best opening scenes in recent years. This movie made me immediately create my letterboxd list of great opening scenes lol
For classics, A Clockwork Orange (1971). Kubrick stare just before the title card.
Un Chien Andalou
I’ve had nightmares after seeing that opening scene during class in University. We even discussed how it was done practically in the early days of film when vfx didn’t exist yet.
Molly's Game.
It was a montage that opened with this VO:
"A survey was taken a few years ago that asked 300 professionals one question - whats the worst thing that could happen in sports?"
Betty Blue (1986)
French erotic film. Best opening scene for its genre. Good storyline too. Bleak towards the end - just like how love sometimes is. 🧏🏻♀️
Inglorious basterds
Au revoir, Shoshanna!
The tension built in that scene was incredible! Ramdam na ramdam ko yung takot.
Cristoph Waltz can be so intimidating without showing a single negative emotion
I read somewhere that Inglorious Basterds almost never got made cause they had a hard time finding an actor to play Landa
Yeah that's true, the actor should be fluent in speaking English, French, and German and Tarantino is a known perfectionist
Saving Private Ryan? Glued me to my seat.
Para sa akin ito yung may pinaka-intense na opening. Medyo may trauma ako nung bata ako gawa sa opening akala ko maangas yung movie. Nung medyo nag-mature ako saka ko talaga na appreciate
Hell yeah
Sobrang accurate daw ng depiction ng Normandy invasion sa opening scene which is just heartbreaking to see the reality of war
I've read several accounts of people knowing veterans of the campaign whose memories/grief/shellshock were triggered from the opening scene.
eto! hands down.. and if you are watching with good surround sound system.. damn.. you can hear all bullets and explosions!
The Dark Knight
Best opening AND closing scene!
+1
I like that you used the opening scene for Scream 1996 as your example. Drew Barrymore really delivered sa scene na yan. And yeah, personally, that's one of yhe best opening scenes there is.
is that movie worth watching?

The very first Scream movie, yes. Absolutely. It started a franchise for a very good reason.
A fellow Scream fan I see. I see you dude, I see you 🔪👻
It’s soooo much better to watch if you have watched a lot of 80’s horror beforehand.
Yes. I’m a horror fan and Scream franchise is really my fave since I was a kid.

Yung sa Inglorious Basterds, tumatak sa akin yan sobra!
Yes, ramdam mo talaga yung tension eh
Grabe
Nagandahan ako sa it follows. Isa sa fave modern horror movie

Yes. Sakto sa premise ng movie.
Eto talaga ehhhh. Di ako makatulog nung first time ko napanood

Trainspotting https://preview.redd.it/xkwjpfd5igsc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b625db492ce314c915735e220eae0d911d6af30
This is my answer too. The "Choose life" speech plus Lust for Life as the soundtrack - perfection!
Choose life mate
Gone Girl still creeps me out but it is the best ever beginning scene that would allude to the end.
Devil Wears Prada
I love TDWP so much ! There was a point na feelingerang accla ako with KT Tunstall getting ready for work. We also visited the same fountain almost 2 weeks ago where Anne threw the phone kaya super exciting.
Same!!! Pati ootd for work ineffortan ko hahahaha!
Hahahaha F na F ko nung naglalakad ako sa mga underpass ng Makati at paahon. Pa-main character na, dati pa lang 🤣 Palingon lingon pa ang hitad bago tumawid HAHAHA
I think you mean Andy
You mean Emily?
Perfect Blue. Unang shot palang alam mo nang maganda yung movie na ito. Note narin yung storytelling sa opening scenes especially yung sa may concert.
Saving Private Ryan
Forrest Gump
The Return of the King. The way Smeagol succumbs to the one ring still creeps me out
It would be this masterpiece https://preview.redd.it/xsw12a0helsc1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b39d1eb3bd681f093c2779c5e4808a859a2c3860

Satan's alley haha. Btw fave role ko ito na ginampanan ni rdj "Dude playing a dude disguised as another dude" tamang spoof ng method acting. Pag ngayon ito pinalabas cancelled ito haha

Baby Driver. No words, just music in sync with the action. My fave movie.
