Although I don't really care for the movie itself to be honest, from a historical sense 'Citizen Kane' has to be there. And really, it still kinda holds up.

"Up" is a pretty great one I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Saving Private Ryan used to get my attention every time the beginning was on.


TP.

Saving Private Ryan

Dark Knight is pretty epic esp. in Imax

the dark knight is really good. and i don't know if you can call it an opening sequence but i really like the Casino Royale Parkour Chase, this made me like the darker daniel craig bond than pierce brosnan.

I agree with a lot of the others already listed here.  "Dark Knight" was the modern one that came to mind.  Pulp Fiction for sure.

lots of great mentions so far but one I don't see is the Blues Brothers.  Classic intro.  "and one condom, soiled".  kills me every time

Patton was awesome as well.  killer speech.

I know there's many others that fail to come to mind.  Probably remember them at 3:00 in the morning (as usual).

patton intro is pretty sweet too. But I am pretty sure Clockwork orange is best all time.
