It's been 30 years since Pulp Fiction gave us a big cinematic slap in the face from the get go, and to mark this anniversary Cesar and Greg give you a run down of their top five opening scenes. From animated animals in the Serengeti and picket fence American suburbia, to anxiety-fuelled Italian dreamworlds and Gotham bank heists, these scenes create the initial impact great cinema deserves.

Ridley Scott's Gladiator II has entered the Colosseum, and to mark this momentous occasion Cesar and Greg will be marching you through their favourite historical epics. From a state-funded mega-production and a cult film in the Amazon jungle, to violent tales of French royalty and a naval warfare blockbuster, get ready because in this episode bigger really is better.
