Iggy Pop's Lust for Life kicks in, Ewan McGregor sprints, and Danny Boyle basically defined 90s British cinema in 90 seconds.

Heath Ledger's Joker introduces himself with a pencil trick's worth of menace. Six minutes and you knew you were watching something special.

The tiny rebel ship, the endless Imperial cruiser looming overhead — a genuine 'blimey' moment that launched a galaxy far, far away.
