My Uncle (who was an Army Ranger in WW2) told me the only thing missing from the opening of Private Ryan was the smell. Other than that, he said those first 20 mins were exactly right

The Book Of Eli with Denzel Washington and the crossbow was pretty good.

The Opening of PotC At Worlds End is pretty damn perfect.

I was coming to post Full Metal Jacket.

Best scene of the movie right at the beginning.

How has no one said Apocalypse Now? Black screen and hearing the helos? Set me on edge right away.

Because Connery RIP, and among the best set pieces of all time.

Opening of Red October. They welded two barges together to make a Russian Typhoon class sub.

I'm sure there will be rationalizations for it, but what y'all think is the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, ain't the opening scene.

Though I don’t think the movie is that good, the opening scene of “Way of the Gun” was replayed a lot during college.



Best opening scene and I totally agree with your assessment. You can stop watching after that.

Yeah, I consider the cemetery to be the opening scene for SPR. Which is also extremely powerful.
