It's just a slow zoom, but the music and the flames and the eye make it seem pretty cool. It's attention-grabbing.

The Dark Knight Rises.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

It's not quite the opening scene, but the chase scene in Casino Royale is still amazing.

 

[Marvolo]

Inglorious Basterds

My favorite dialogue of any movie.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Raiders of the Lost Ark

 

[Slushy]

I can't believe I forgot about Rocky III!

 

[AnneFan]

Raiders of the Lost Ark

One of the best of all time for sure.

I'm a fan of Mission Impossible 3's opening.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Definitely torn between the last crusade (because of River) or TDK.

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

Agreed, this wins for me too.

I love the shot of the cars just driving like everything's okay, and their totally oblivious to the impending danger. This wouldn't have been as effective if this were the first movie, I don't think. It's knowing about the whole Judgement Day ordeal that makes this so chilling.

And two thumbs up on the very basic, yet impacting music there too.

The Departed - Jacks speech

 

[Max J Power]

Touch of Evil
Pulp Fiction
Annie Hall
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (best opening credits sequence ever)

 

[Hyden]

Most of my favorites have been mentioned, so I wont rehash them, but here are a some I don't think have been mentioned yet (forgive me if I'm repeating any)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Being John Malkovich
Ghost in the Shell
The Fellowship of the Ring (the prologue)
A Clockwork Orange (that nice long shot at the Milk bar)

Though I don't know how well it's aged, I think the opening sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey is an undeniable classic

Blade 1 - best opening to a movie i've ever seen. In fact if the rest of the movie had sucked...i would have still like the movie because of it.

others:

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom
Inglorious Bastards
Clash of The Titans - original
Raiders of The Lost Ark
Jaws
The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
Die Another Day
Goldeneye
