There are several opening scenes and or credits I love rewatching on YouTube.

What are some of yours?

I'll start off with the opening scene of The Matrix as one of my favorites.

I LOVE the opening scene to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street! It sets the tone for the whole movie. :heart:

I'll add some more Stanley Kubrick with the iconic opening from A Clockwork Orange.



I love the cinematography of the opening scene from one of my favorite modern films, Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men. (It has a lot of really great scenes and I love the long uninterrupted shots).
