Star Wars for me followed by Top Gun.

James Bond usually has some great opening scenes, most notably diving off the dam in Goldeneye and skiing off the cliff and a union jack parachute opening in The Spy Who Loved Me.

A vote for Star Wars Episode IV as well.

The scrolling text, the Rebel ship, then the Imperial Starcruiser coming into view from above.

ILM at it's finest.

To all those saying Saving Private Ryan, doesnt that start with the old man in the cemetary scene??

[Moulder]

Watchmen or X Men Origins Wolverine.

Both go a bit down hill after that...

[tobinen]

Blade springs to mind

Saving Private Ryan also

[jayemm89]

Once Upon a Time in the West

or....

Desperado

or.... (if I'm in a cheesy mood)

Beverly Hills Cop II

[Beati Dogu]

Yes, Once Upon a Time in the West

I believe it's also one of the longest intros too.

And I don't know about you, but I always get off a train like this when I'm being met by someone.


Zombieland is also great.

Gili - and a vastly underrated film to boot.

[Negative Creep]

I wouldn't call it the best, but Lord of War has a very clever title sequence

Agreed - great song as well.

"Django" (1966) - a mysterious man dragging a coffin across a desert over the opening credits and the awesome title song.

I've always like Carlito's Way for a good beginning. Juice but that's probably the DJ in me.
