Enter twice. Like Laura,this film begins with images of a mysterious woman. In this case, the opening credits are a montage of superstar Anna Scott’s career.

- NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994): The Death of the Cook. As openers go, the diner scene in NATURAL BORN KILLERS sets the tone for what comes next: a rip roaring, violent gorefest of a ride.
