In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Surprised nobody has mentioned There Will be Blood yet.
The opening to Scream was fun at the time too.
The Social Network had a great opening as I recall.

His best film...
Oh and Baby Driver's was amazing and arguably the best scene of the whole film and one of the best car chases I've seen
Infinity War
I love the opening scene from Scarface when he's being interviewed by ICE or whatever they were called in the 80s.
I want my fecking human rights, just like your president Jimmy Carter says!
The opening scene from the latest Mortal Kombat flick is also very good, especially compared to the dumpster fire that is the rest of it.

Once Upon a Time in the West.
Scream is an excellent shout, very fresh back then too.
Wasn't the opening scene the one in black and white where he has to kill a guy to acquire his 00 status? Which was a very nice scene in itself, in fact.
Yeah There will be blood's was mesmerizing. Social Network's was nice, with the White Stripes' Ball and Biscuit music playing I think.
It was very cool. Edgar Wright is usually quite amazing at kicking off his films, high tempo, great editing...
Probably the all time best, with my favourite being...
"I believe in America"
It's flawless. It just sets out everything so masterfully, and... well, Brando.
Yep you’re correct, just checked.
Thanks bro. You must be fun at parties.
The Revanant
Not really, but at least I know where they’re located.
How could I forget Children of Men?
In fairness you could pick any single shot sequence from that film.

The Dark Knight
Fellowship of the Ring.
That has to be right up there. Such a lovely performance to start the film.
One of my favourite films Repo Man.
Motorcycle Cop "Whatcha got in the trunk ? "
Frank Parnell "Oh... You don't wanna look in there."

This doesn't work without videos
Exactly, and we've done this before because i definitely remember posting this.
Without the video, it simply would have been "man climbing on rocks nearly gets hit by rocket. receieves top secret mission and nearly gets killed again by exploding sunglasses".
Jurassic Park (original) intro is pretty iconic.
Brilliant movie from start to finish tbh, it's not just the opening scene with so much quality. Can't believe it didn't win an Oscar tbh
Shutter Island, it's quite a clever scene after you've watched the entire movie.
A few superhero nominations, so I’ll throw Superman into the mix. Incredible effects and a stunning score that highlights the majesty of planet Krypton. Gives me goosebumps to this day.
And if ever a scene set the tone for a movie…
