Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West has an amazing opening scene.

That is a great opening.


I also think 2001: A Space Odyssey has a great opening, even if it is just men in monkey suits

X-Men 2
Once Upon a Time in The West
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

actually i think boogie nights has the best opening. Especially how it shows basically all the main characters in the very first scene. All around boogie nights was a great movie and i recommend anybody that hasnt seen it to see it. It is truely a classic.

I have to say, the opening pre-credit sequence from Casino Royale, was a good one..

Probably the best opening Bond sequence I've seen.

 

[The Joker]

Quoted for Truth.

which one? There are 6

the first one, back in 77 it was just called "star wars"

I think both 28 Days and 28 Weeks had awesome openings. 28 Days Later had a completely empty London, and 28 Weeks Later with that amazingly intense battle and chase.

X-Men 2 the whole film should of been about Nightcrawler, total badass.

Once Upon a Time in the West wasting time with style.

If we are going just with opening credits then Fight Club makes the list. I love the fact it has nothing to do with the film, and you don't even know what it actually is until the last moments.

it's AWESOME. the deep voice of Cate Blanchett, the six-minute storyline, great, just great.

rep to you, L3ggy!

 

[L3ggy]

I wonder how the opening of The Hobbit will be like.

 

[david2006]

I think that the best would be saving private ryan!!!!!!!

 

[SBTNW]

The Happening (2008)

OMFG! all those people killing themselves... AWESOME!!

as usual, great Shyamalan.


also, the opening for "I Am Legend" is great.

the news where some Dr. explain that we got the cure for cancer. cool.

28 Weeks Later (No video clip) From complete calm to heart-pounding danger, it happens so fast, thank fuck for that boat.
