what's your best ever opening film sequence?


mine is Ray Winston lying by that pool in the hills behind Malaga, not a care in the world, he's escaped it all,

and... bang... the film starts

and all backed up with Peaches by the Stanglers...

genius

British films rock(tu) (excuse pun, just couldn't quite resist)


ps could not find video clip of opening sequence so hope these two will bring back sweet memories

love you East Dulwich

oh yes, Annasfield, brilliant...


and I am crazy about the animated graphics/title sequence of Casino Royale...

really wonderful piece, clever and beautiful...

and that's always a good starting point for anything...

Yes CC - Great stuff by Kingsley, great clip - I did not watch all of the Bruges clip as I have not seen the film yet. But to contrast Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast with the sensible withdrawn accountant in Schindlers List shows the breath of his abilities but sexy beast was perhaps his best role - really convincing, almost scary.


Perhaps Brendan Gleeson is Ireland's version of Ray Winstone.

If the opening sequence of The (original) Italian Job doesn't fill you with Joie De Vivre then nothing, surely, will..


The film starts with a driver's-eye view of a Lamborghini Miura driving through the Italian Alps as the titles roll. Following the car as it negotiates the turns at high speed, the scenery is cut off when the car enters the darkness of a tunnel and subsequently explodes. The viewpoint changes to the other end of the tunnel, where the remains of the ill-fated Lamborghini are pulled from the tunnel, wrapped around the front of a bulldozer.


Gorgeous views of The Italian Alps, a great car and the wondrous sound of Matt Monro singing "On Days Like These"......

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
