There's a lot of talk about favourite movies, but what about their opening sequences?

By 'Opening Sequences', I mean the opening credits, or the clip/scene before them. Hopefully that makes sense.

Here's a few of mine to start off...

- Mondays in the Sun
- Watchmen
- Seven Psychopaths

The Natural. Robert Redford walking along that lonely train station, then sitting on the train before the flashback to him as a boy.

Also...

Miller's Crossing. As soon as the ice clinks in the rocks glass it's probably my favorite opening sequence of all time. Love it.

My top 5, not in order:

Mission: Impossible III.
Swordfish.
Inglourious Basterds.
Magnolia.
From Dusk Till Dawn.

It gets a little murky after those, but mostly because there are a lot that I like.

A Clockwork Orange sits very high up there (here it is if any of you can't remember it: https://vimeo.com/49553745). As does Children of Men (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTgUq6hzUk). Skyfall was superb as well. One of the best action openings from recent memory.

Grand Prix (1966)

Realistic portrayal of the drivers' pre-race tension minutes before the dangerous Monte Carlo race scene.

Requiem for a Dream is probably one of my favourites. Along with Watchmen.

I really liked the opening of the remake of Friday the 13th.
