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.
