No Spoilers Here
Sheila, after wiping away the Indiana Jones-induced drool, is looking for nominations for great movie openings. Go on over and leave your thoughts.
There are, of course, many choices based on many different criteria. Personally, I voted for the opening scene of Holiday. There is something about the way Cary Grant's Johnny Case bursts through the doorway of the Potters' apartment that is instantly appealing. And the whole business of the Potters' cross-examination of him about The Girl is a real hoot.
A beautiful entrance, indeed. I love that entire relationship in that movie ... it's one of the best examples of pure friendship, ain't it? It's easy to capture love and romance on screen (or relatively so) - but really hard to capture friendship.
That movie totally succeeds. You just want to be friends with those people!
