Opening scene of goldeneye still gives me goosebumps, or is it literally opening shot?

[gingerjedi]

Has to be, pure class with a cracking soundtrack.

you'll never look at Scarlett in that way again once you see this picture

Nah, can't be - The guy on the right must be Christopher Walken surely.

Best film opening shot

Has to both of Wenders' Angel movies, one of Angels' empath montaged with a wonderful pan over West Berlin and the ICC and the other where one of the angels is stood right on top of the Siegessäule and you don't notice until the camera moves nearer.

I find both breathtaking no matter how many times I see them.

Himmel über Berlin and In Weiter Ferne, so Nar. Great Movies...

The response is coming back as HTML, with a shedload of script. Really horrible HTML too, with inline styles and stylesheets and tables for layout and other horridness

Is that curtain drawn aside to reveal a large mirror?

Mind you looking at its IMDB entry (which scores 7.8 BTW) one reads:



So they were probably wary about mirrors after that

No just Scarlett Johanssens bottom

Probably google.nl which my browser keeps picking up on. I need to use both .co.uk and .nl depending on what I need to search on.

Google can be a real swine at times for this. Google.com can be forced by using the search box in Safari but otherwise it insists on redirecting me to the .ch version, and that doesn't always give me what I am looking for.

Great opening sequences:

Star wars
From dusk till dawn
Hmmm maybe 'monster squad' too

Just watched lost in translation again.
