Perfect Movies I Knew Were Masterpieces From the First Scene

The opening sequence of a movie can establish a lot about what the viewer is about to see. In the era of streaming, when faced with thousands of options, the first few moments are even more vital, as a bad intro can lead one to jump to the next movie on their list. At the same time, some films start strong and sizzle out, leaving a sense of disappointment. Other times, a movie starts slowly or with a scene that feels inconsequential, but viewers are rewarded with an escalation of events or revelations that make the film a masterpiece.
