This thread was just made for one film - Triangle.
One of my fav films ever.
The opening is the ending and if you watch the film through a second time you are watching the sequel!
Brilliant!
Anyone who has seen it will know what I am talking about
The dialogue is slightly different at the end compared to that at the start, i could never understand why they did it like that.
I am not sure about the dialogue. But the reason why those sequence of events is structured in that narrative form is because the distributor; Miramax pictures did not like the idea of John Travolta, (who was the head name) being killed in the middle of the film. With it being only Tarrantino's second directed film, he had to reassure them that John Travolta was going to play a part throughout the the movie. This in aid so he could get more funding.
Surprised nobody has said Inception. The film opens with Cobb being taken to the mansion with Saito which is a scene at the end of the movie where they make the final escape.

A more genuine one? Double Indemnity.
Aside from being a prequel to the lotr trilogy, the first few minutes dialogue determine the outcome of the story

In order of events, then yes, In order of scenes shot, then no. The coffee table and I love you honey bunny sets up the last sequence of events.

As, I say it sets up the end. Another director who uses this technique is Steven Soderbergh with films like Out of Sight, The Limey and Traffic.
