The beach landing at the start of Saving Private Ryan has been voted as the "best ever opening scene" in a survey of 5,000 film fans.

The Steven Spielberg war drama came top in the poll by Choices Video, beating Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, which was second.

"The films of Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino culdn't be more different, yet between them they account for half of our ten favourite movie openings," said a Choices Video spokesman.

Star Wars came third, followed by Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
