The best opening fifteen seconds of any movie

The little old lady looks like she's about to play a hymn on the organ at church. Of course, that's far from what she does!

Agreed! That was an excellent opening to a pretty good movie.

I had no idea someone was actually playing the organ at these games at all, I thought it was a pre-recording.

The lady really gets down, too.

That's probably where the Simpsons got the idea for the organ-playing old lady at church.

Yeah, that is the idea. Also, notice how it shifts from black and white to color subtly?

Oh, that was a good opening. But I still have to give it to Goldmember, though, when they do the opening action scene and you see who's playing Austin. (I laugh EVERY time at him saying "yeah baby.")

Hey Ulleskelf,

I'm with you all the way. I start the film and watch the beginning several times before I am ready to go on with the story.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile
