Because I love movies so much, I love reminiscing on the absolute BEST opening movie lines of all time. Recently, I came across this post on the popular “movies” subreddit from a now-deleted user in which they asked, “What’s your favorite opening line of a movie?” and I thought, wow, these need to be shared. (I also supplemented with answers from this post by user epicluca.) So, without further ado, here are some of the greatest opening movie lines of all time:
2.
Stand by Me
3.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
5.
The Outsiders
6.
Goodfellas
8.
Apocalypse Now
10.
Fight Club

The Departed
