Bienvenue and willkommen to this supercut of cinematic welcomes

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
In movies, people are always welcoming others to some new situation or location. It’s a dramatic gesture meant to set the stage not just for the character but for the audience as well, usually done in a way that’s meant to be somewhat shocking. Of course, it can be just as pedestrian as greeting people on a talk show, or as sardonic as welcoming an alien to Earth (before punching said alien in the face). In this supercut, characters are welcomed to various locations, states of being, shows, and other existential modes from across 73 different films.
