A brilliant opening scene sets the tone, grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go. Which one gets your vote for the best cold open cinema has ever served up?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Saving Private Ryan β Omaha Beach
Spielberg's 27-minute assault on the senses put you right in the landing craft. Nobody watched war films the same way again.
B
Trainspotting β Choose Life
Iggy Pop's Lust for Life kicks in, Ewan McGregor sprints, and Danny Boyle basically defined 90s British cinema in 90 seconds.
C
The Dark Knight β Bank Heist
Heath Ledger's Joker introduces himself with a pencil trick's worth of menace. Six minutes and you knew you were watching something special.
D
Up β Married Life Montage
No dialogue, just a piano and a lifetime of love and loss. Somehow the saddest ten minutes ever animated, and it's in a kids' film.
E
Star Wars β Star Destroyer Flyover
The tiny rebel ship, the endless Imperial cruiser looming overhead β a genuine 'blimey' moment that launched a galaxy far, far away.
