two that come to my mind would be the plane flying over the sand dunes in the English Patient (very stunning with the musical score) and Emma Thompson's bottom of her skirt moving over the grass through the english garden in Howard's End.

I'm not here to entertain you.

I think this is an interesting question. How many movies are specially produced with the beginning in mind. A good movie is often judged by how expertly one is hooked into the story. It's an art form. Would you ever toggle a desert guy smearing mud on a burn victim with a plane shot flying over dunes? It makes no sense until you see the entire story. That makes great cinematography that they did it that way with emotional ties of how far this character goes with the side-by-side scene flips.

Okay, it might be boring. But I only have my opinion. I find it fascinating.

I know you are not here to entertain me but movies are. And the movies you have listed sweety, are not in my interest area.

One of the best movie openings of all time:
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

That scene is amazing.

by the way, where is Victor Franko when you need him? I don't think he would have slammed these selections.

I'm a big fan of Scarlett Johansen's smokin boo-tay @ the beginning of Lost in Translation.  I want to be friends with it.
