Ok, below are my last 5 "best" film openings. FYI, I looked at opening scenes for over 100 films. I intentionally left off films with opening scenes that I considered "too long" & that something more than just an opening scene. I also chose/leaned towards openings that were un-narrated & that clearly & unambiguously established the basis for the rest of the movie going forward without the need for further explanation. This does not mean that I do not like any of the other movies openings mentioned in your or other lists. It just means that these are my favorites among the +100 that I have recently watched to make this selection: 6) Ghost in the Shell (2017) https://movieweb.com/ghost-in-shell-movie-2017-opening-scene-scarlett-johansson/ 7) Twister (1996) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-fgpy2nXTc 8) Cool Hand Luke (1967) https://www.facebook.com/wrongreelpodcast/videos/cool-hand-luke-1967/1841329499500117/ 9) Vertigo (1958) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7sznnL0NZ0 10) Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9h60d6 This is a link to the entire movie. The opening ends at 3:39.
