The Hobbit: an unexpected adventure' was the most
memorable film opening that I've seen, with the introduction to
the Shire through the familiar woodwind twinkle, and the
begging of our story with Bilbo's end.

A comedy called 'bad teacher'
It was memorable because the character had already started
her dialogue before entering the room and it was an innuendo
to her partner but his mother was sat on the sofa. It was funny
and it made me imagine if it was me in that situation!

A nightmare on elm street 1984, the first 5 minutes, this is
because of the atmosphere it created, the sounds involved in
the opening, it created suspense and only later does the film
revival the true nature of the opening.

You hear the music before anything else, camera fades in to a
young boy sitting down with a headset on (he's listening to the
music that we can hear). His grandad comes in to get him and
takes him into a hospital room where a woman (obviously his
mum) is lying on the bed. Not much is said but it's more the
music and action that makes it memorable. The next scene is
more memorable because it's Chris Pratt dancing about and
who doesn't love that but anyway have fun reading the rest of
your surveys.

characters walk through a grand hall decorated with paintings.
