So it’s with thanks to the directors, writers and everyone else involved that we take the time to truly appreciate those great starts to some of our favorite films. Sorry everyone, but that's actually the second scene of the movie. We're sad to say, that means the Omaha Beach landing from Saving Private Ryan didn’t make the cut. We’ve avoided including any scenes which weren't the very first things shown on the screen. They’re all truly worthy of the acclaim we’ve given them, even if the entire movie may not always exceed the quality of the intro. Not every great scene can be represented in our forty entries, but we’ve gathered the very best in hopes that if you haven’t seen them already, you’ll go out and watch them - and the stories that follow. By putting their pens to paper, they crafted that perfect moment that put a smile or your face or left you at a loss for words. The writers knew what they were doing when they started their ideas. It's no coincidence that the films on this list are also generally considered good. It gets you in the mood and builds from there. Do you remember the exact moment it hooked you? Chances are if it’s your all time favorite, you’re a sucker for every minute of it. Think about your favorite film of all time. We all know that a bad ending can ruin a movie, but what about the openings? It gives the viewers motivation to keep watching. It establishes the tone, the setting or sometimes introduces the central characters. The first scene of a film is an integral part of its storytelling.
