The 15 Best Movie Opening Scenes of the 21st Century

"Apart from opening a film in a gripping way that pulls in viewers from the get-go, you have to strike the right tone that matches or purposefully contrasts with what's to come after and sets up the story and world effortlessly. Of course, plenty of great films start off slowly and casually. Even something as ordinary as a character waking up and going through the morning routine can be enticing if done right. While a good opening doesn't necessarily mean a good film, it does get half of the job done."
