Raging Bull. De Niro playing Jake La Motta. Shadow boxing in a ring with flash bulbs busting from outside the ropes. Moving to Cavalleria Rusticana. Fighting nobody but himself. A story foretold

All above are excellent choices. But one that seems overlooked is actually the opening scene to the original Star Wars. Imagine (or remember for some of us) being a kid in 1977 seeing that for the first time in a cinema.

"Lord of war. The lifecycle of a bullet from the perspective of the bullet from creation to embedded in someone’s forehead. "

That's actually a brilliant opening scene

Some excellent suggestions there.

For me, it is Halloween, that POV long shot of a mysterious person coming into a house, walking around, grabbing a knife, grabbing a clown mask, and killing the girl. Then, outside, you realise it’s just a kid. And then the ominous music, perfect.

Also Up.

It still tugs hard on my heartstrings anytime I see it.

There is so much emotion in just a minute or two of animation.
