[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Post the opening scene first if possible and then the full song.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

That’s a good pick. Just watched Drive again recently. Great flick

Edit

disregard my pick, finding a better example. Power of Love isn’t technically in the opening scene of Back to the Future, I guess

just in case, here it is





Edit

this isn’t a great pick but first thing I came up with

Donnie Darko - The Killing Moon





edit 3

Pulp Fiction? This technically isn’t the opener, the diner conversation opens the film right before this. If this counts then definitely count Power of Love in Back to the Future (my first pick)

 

[EverydayBeast]

Bourne opening was exceptional plus they always know how to END well too

 

[Valonquar]

Most bond films. I'm still in love with Shirley Manson though.

The movie Snatch is just full of awesome music as well.

 

[Nester99]

My favorite opening in any movie. AC/DC fits so well

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Perhaps a strange choice since the music is so brief, but... nothing haunts me like the opening music and shots in David Lynch's harrowing Inland Empire (the same music later returns beautifully to cover the final sequence of the film).





Music was written / produced by Lynch himself, sung by his personal muse Chrysta Bell, who he later cast in the Twin Peaks revival.

Chrysta Bell:

For anyone wanting to see the song over the closing scenes (somewhat spoilerish, but it's an impenetrable film anyway, so you won't exactly understand what's being spoiled):

Spoiler: final scenes

 

[sonomamashine]

[Kadayi]

Mulholland Drive

 

[triplestation]

YOU JUST REMEMBER WHAT YOUR OLD PAL SAID

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

 

[MetalAlien]

 

[and 3 others]

Not a big Zepplin or Thor fan, but The Immigrant Song in Thor:Ragnarok opening scenes was pretty dope.

 

[EightBit Man]

 

[Macapala]

How has no one posted The Last of the Mohicans????

 

[Pagusas]

LOVED IT

 

[and 3 others]

Anaconda's opening theme, absolutely haunting and beautiful. Hearing it transports be back 20 years to when things were simpler and easier. Movie is whatever, it's pretty stupid actually.

 

[kingbean]

I like the opening to Watchmen.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Conan the Barbarian, gotta post 2 opening scenes, movie has one of the best soundtracks ever. Whole ost is godlike.

 

[Tesseract]

 

[Nemesisuuu]

 

[Tesseract]

[MetalAlien]

 

[ThatStupidLion]

 

[Nymphae]

Fuck you I love this movie and the intro

 

[solidsheelop]

 

[MetalAlien]

How could we forget?

 

[Nymphae]

 

[Lionel Richie]

Can't find the scene, but Mandy opens up with this song. Such a fucking badass experience from the first second on.

 

[MaestroMike]

kinda opening scene

 

[Cutty Flam]

When I heard this in theaters, it was the first time I had heard the song, and my first full Quentin Tarantino film watched. I could just tell by the very opening that he was a premier star all in his own vision. Before I had even experienced a minute of his work I was deeply impressed

 

[T8SC]

How has this not been mentioned yet? It's the GOAT.

 

[etp_1]

 

[Cutty Flam]

This isn’t the opening song, but imo the most powerful song in Joker. All the wrong that society does as one unit made up of individuals inflicts others, and in this case an innocent man who was lied to and wronged repeatedly until he broke. This song almost perfectly captures the weight of society crushing Arthur Fleck until he is no more and becomes Joker. It’s almost like the sound tells a story within a the story of Joker that can’t possibly be described in any other way. But I thought this should be shared and experienced by those who have seen Joker and know the events and people that caused them that lead to his descent into chaos and madness

 

[Nymphae]

Also probably one of the best outro songs:

 

[Nemesisuuu]

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

How has no one posted The Last of the Mohicans????

Control-F "Mohi' got a match. This is good.

I'll add. Akira:

 

[haxan7]

song was also on the original Pure Moods CD

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Conan the Barbarian, gotta post 2 opening scenes, movie has one of the best soundtracks ever. Whole ost is godlike.

No doubt, it's amazing.

How about, Willow:


Braveheart:

 

[Armorian]

 

[Nymphae]

My favorite opening in any movie. AC/DC fits so well

That song is so badass, every time I hear it on the radio I crank it the fuck up

 

[Nemesisuuu]

No doubt, it's amazing.

How about, Willow:


Braveheart:

James Horner has some great soundtracks, Aliens comes to mind.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Lovely intro that starts out sunny and quickly turns dark

 

[pauljeremiah]

The original and still best:

 

[mortal]

 

[bronk]

Deadly Outlaw Rekka


Flower Travellin' Band - Satori pt.1
Do yourself a favor and listen to whole Satori album. Absolutely amazing.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Incredible, Danny Elfman made the perfect intro with his composition. Spider-Man, The Matrix, and Jurassic Park are all three my favorite movies of all time btw. They are all my #1

 

[Cravis]

Dawn of the Dead (2004) with Johnny Cash’s when the man comes around

 

[miami]

One of my favorite modern ones.
