Awesome Film Openings

I've been watching a load of film openings and these are ones that I think are great.

Pulp Fiction


I think that this is a good opening because the characters are interesting and the plot just starts with no introduction, leaving you guessing as to what is going on. I also like the part where the scene goes into the titles because it's funny.

I can't embed this clip but I think it's good because the whole scene is mysterious yet very action packed. I also like the style in which it is filmed.

X-Men 2


This opening is action-packed and just a great start to one of the best comic book movies ever.

I like this opening because it starts off like a serious action thriller but really it's more of a black comedy.

Overall I would have liked to have put some more clips in of my favourite films, such as The Darjeeling Limited, directed by Wes Anderson because I love his style of filmmaking. However the clips weren't available. I hope to try and put some kind of hook into my opening so that people will want to watch it longer.
