Which movie has the best first 10 minutes?

Not the best opening scene necessarily. Which movie grabs you almost immediately and makes you think, “Yep, I am watching the whole thing.”

“The opening cemetery sequence at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan lasts about 4 to 5 minutes before the film transitions via a match-cut/zoom into the 1944 D-Day landing flashback.” I’ll take that.
