Which classic British film opening scene gives you the biggest thrill?
There's nothing quite like those first few minutes of a film that immediately pull you in. From gritty gangster energy to whimsical wonder, British cinema knows how to make an entrance.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Trainspotting - Choose Life
Ewan McGregor's iconic monologue set to Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life' is basically a masterclass in how to grab an audience by the collar in under 90 seconds.
B
Love Actually - Heathrow Arrivals
Hugh Grant's warm voiceover over real airport reunions sets the festive tone before you've even had a chance to unwrap a Quality Street.
C
Skyfall - Istanbul Chase
Daniel Craig on a motorbike across the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar reminds you exactly why Bond films have that special place in the British psyche.
D
Four Weddings and a Funeral - Oh F***
Just Hugh Grant swearing his way across a bedroom while trying to make it to a wedding on time. Deeply, painfully relatable.
E
Paddington 2 - Peru Prologue
The sweeping, hand-drawn Peruvian jungle sequence somehow manages to be more emotional than most feature films' entire runtimes.
