    In my view one of the great movie intros of all time. Ridley Scott's Thelma and Louise Of course, not just a great intro but a great film all around. From story, to acting, to filming locations and probably most of all a soundtrack that just plain kicks ass! There's really no other way to say it.

    These epic war birds guard the skies above us from Russians, Chinese, and North Koreans.

    Maybe makes a great looking Navy recruiting ad, or an intro to a Navy training film but that's about it. Not even close to being great film intro.

    It's a pretty interesting movie, I must say. A bit on the depressing side though.

    This movie scared me to death, and I don't care if it was a lot of parody, especially this opening scene when she gets dragged off into woods and killed. Scary! I hate horror movies, and I will never forget the opening scene from Scream. I was camping at a friends cabin in the woods when I first saw it, and that is probably why I was so scared too. Lol.

    One of the greatest movies of all time-Klaus Kinski-a paranoid Schizo plays Don Lope de Aguirre, a Paranoid schizo in Herzog's Tour de Force

    the open scene of this movie is spectacular, shot under incredible hardships in the Amazon and Andes

    Haven't seen this yet.
    I saw this though.

    Another Tom Hanks movie with an interesting intro of a little boy working..
    Was Cast Away (2000) but I couldn't find it on YouTube.

    Gangs of NY is an awesome movie. If you get the chance you should definitely watch it.
