What is the best opening scene/ sequence of any movie? And why is it the animated Lion King?

    Children of Men (2006) sets the scene perfectly: the future is filthy, the youngest person on the planet has just died, and our protagonist just narrowly survived a terrorist act. Marvellous film.

      Weirdly, this is the first movie that came to mind even though I can’t even remember the opening scene. Just the way done of those long shots are filmed, I was like, I bet that had a great opening
