I'm a big believer in capturing an audiences attention with a great opening scene that sets the stage for the rest of the movie. I find a lot of movies let me down in this area by doing something flashy rather than something clever or related to the story.
My favourite opening scene of all time is Lord of War. The initial dialogue and then the follow-up montage from the perspective of a bullet. It's not only visually awesome but it speaks to the entire theme of the film and sets everything up for what's to come. The sound is amazing too, at least in my noob opinion.
So, what are your favourite opening scenes?
