Best entrance in a film

In the film Elegy from Russia by Aleksandr Sokurov, you are introduced in the film by heavy breathing and the screen is dark, sometimes showing a little light. This goes on for minutes on end and it's quite uncomfortable. After about 7 (?) minutes images appear in black and white.

Only after leaving the cinema do you realise that all the while you have been inside the body of a an old dying man, looking at images from his life, feverish dreams, flashes of memory, while simultaniously looking at images of Russia's history and - as the film calls it, the suffering of the Russian soul at the banks of the Wolga.

It is my great pleasure to present to you...

:cool:
 
Pierce Brosnan as Bond in Goldeneye.

At first you only see the back of his head and his eyes etc. and the first full shot you see of him is dangling upside down in a toilet cubicle. Brilliant! :D
 
Doctor Emmett L. Brown from Back to the future. We've seen where he lives, we hear him on the phone but only after 25 minutes of the film do we actually see him emerging from the Delorean (best entrance for a car)!
Crazy Hair, Bulging eyes, disorientated and he hits his head on the gull wing door!

I love him!
 
Even though the rest of the film was dreadful, Poison Ivy's entrance to the old dancehall song 'Poison Ivy' in Batman & Robin.

Worked well. And hey, when is anyone ever going to mention a film that bad ever again...
 
Marla in Fight Club.

Narrator: "And she. ruined. everything."
Marla: (Walking into the support group) "This is cancer, right?"

I love the ridiculousness of a woman walking into a testicular cancer support group and no one even questioning her!
 
Agreed.

Did you know that scene with him approaching across the desert through a mirage was almost twice as long in David Lean's original cut, but he chickened out and shortened it.

Years later he said he regretted not leaving it at its original length.
 
Christopher Reeve emering from the revolving door to introduce Superman to the world for the 1st time.

"Say Jim !!!!"

"Excuse me."

"That's a bad outfit !!!! Wooo!!!"

Still gives me goosebumps.... :D
 
Arny in The Terminator, or to get my masculinity/straightness back after saying that; Kristanna Loken in Terminator 3 :D (T3 was actually a bad film though).
