Good movies that reach out and grab you.

I'm going to look for my own. Yes, I want to find a movie introduction that catches me within the opening scene and doesn't let go until the end. It will be hard to beat a good James Bond introduction like this, or even a Jason Bourne movie. You can bet that it is going to be an action movie.

see intro for Goldfinger here.

Just substitute "Unexpected" for "Inconceivable"!
