38. Full Metal Jacket - Opening Scene
Again, another long shot. The introduction of R. Lee Ermey to the film is so cool to watch. It makes you go Oh yeah as soon as you see it. It teaches you a lot about the English language, and it makes you feel proud to be a moviegoer. Kubrick struck gold again. http://youtu.be/5TNhS81w4bM
37. M - Opening Scene
Fritz Lang allows his camera to work so lucratively in this powerful opening scene. Im sure anyone that has watched it would have known a little about the plot, but if you didnt, that harrowing song was a sign of things to come. M is considered to be the first great talking picture, and as many have explained, thats because it doesnt always talk. It gives the right sense of terror in its silence as evidenced here. http://youtu.be/0VMgLJJKiaA
