Missing Scream -- nm - Dano Sep 10, 12:27
I was thinking "if this list doesn't have Touch of Evil on it, its a list that is wrong" but yup, it had it - crash davis Sep 10, 12:17
what about the first 10 minutes of Up? -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 12:17 2
- clearly not one scene. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 12:17
- great call. -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 12:17
The Matrix announced itself as well a Gioldeneye. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:16
Citizen Kane seems kind of low. -- nm - Ender Sep 10, 12:14
not sure it should be top 25, but the Dawn of the Dead remake opening scene was all kinds of awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:14
Cliffhanger had a good one IIRC -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 12:13 9
- the terror in her eyes still scares me to think about. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:15 6
  - I remember thinking "there's no way they go through with this." - Max Sep 10, 12:24 5
    - thinking back now and having just finished Dexter. Lithgow is underrated in my book. I write him off for 3rd Rock but he's been in some very solid - oblique Sep 10, 12:25 4
      - he was badass in Santa Claus: The Movie. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 12:31
      - he was freaking in Raising Cain & terrific in in Garp -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 12:28
      - always a great villain -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 12:27 1
        
        Though Lithgow-Stallone must be one of the most lop-sided hero-villain match-ups ever -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 12:28
- Cliffhanger was the awesome from start to finish -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 12:14 1
  - Sly? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:14
I really liked the opening to Grand Canyon, and the opening (I think it is) to Birth is mesmerizing. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:12 2
- aka a vagina? -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 12:13 1
  - that's a big baby. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:16
MI3 and Goldeneye? -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 12:12 4
- I agree that MI3 sticks out like a sore thumb, but Goldeneye was well-placed, IMO -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:16 2
  - I would say just the opposite. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 12:23 1
    - yeah, I did not like the MI 1 or MI2 movie, but MI3 I was interested from the get go. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:24
- take them off and the list is better -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 12:13
X-Men -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 12:12 13
- it's criminal that it's not on there. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:15 12
  - I can not remember what it was...... - groiny Sep 10, 12:17 11
    - I think - Max Sep 10, 12:18
    - That was the second movie. The first was the concentration camp. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 12:18
    - Magneto as a boy when he discovers his powers. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:17 8
      - mah, I liked Nightcrawler better. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:18
      - Yes, that was pretty moving -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:18 6
        
        as I've said for years. After that scene I knew the franchise was in good hands. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:19 5
        
        speaking of, am I the only one who thinks the photos of Captain America suck? - groiny Sep 10, 12:22
        
        well, until X-Men 3 came along -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:19 3
        
        there were a few redeeming parts of X3. - groiny Sep 10, 12:23
        
        Yep. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:20 1
        
        I'm Juggernaut, bitch! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:21
/nominates Raising Arizona and maybe Blues Brothers -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 12:11 2
- I watched Blues Brothers last year for the first time in a while; the opening is really, really slow, dreary, and quiet. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:13 1
  - "One new prophylactic condom," - con_carne Sep 10, 12:17
Saving Private Ryan, duh -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 12:11 5
- yeah, that's a pretty bad one to leave out -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 12:12 4
  - It's not really the opening scene. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:13 3
    - that's their only excuse. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:15 2
      - *shrugs* I don't really think of it as one scene, per se, anyway. One sequence of scenes, or act, certainly. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:16 1
        
        As soon as they pull back to reveal Tom Hanks that's one scene I would think. - Mel Profit Sep 10, 12:17
Jaws? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:10 1
- ok, good, at least it is in there. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 12:13
