I think there are technically better openings but that is the one i remember most.

The Italian Job.
I still can't believe they trashed that Lambo.

The Searchers opening shot of the pan through the doorway and the arrival of John Wayne's character is worth a look, too.
Alien and Aliens are both worth considering. Oh, Goodfellas - brilliant opening scene.
I love films!
I love the opening to oldboy - that's a great opening scene, sets the tone of discomfort and dislike for the entire movie brilliantly.
Dark knight - heist

Fincher's are always good
Now I don't really like the HP films but the use of location, etc, is stunning.
Almost all the Bond films; the opening sequence often the best thing in the movie and often only semi related to the rest of it. Pick at random although Spectre isn't a bad one and is an interesting contrast with the almost cartoon like opening sequences of say the Moore period Bond ones.
Inglorious Bastards (however you spell it). Terrible, terrible film but a long, suspenseful opening sequence. I'd suggest given the pace and length it's am unusual one.
+1 on the Italian Job. IIRC there's a Top Gear doc on how they did it, peiced all the roads together.
Agreed, I was 10 and still remember that jaw dropping feeling I had in the cinema as the scale of the imperial star destroyer is revealed
The opening scene that I remember being most wowed by was Fellowship of the Ring. The moment in the war between elves/men and Sauron where the elves all sweep up with their spears/glaives/whatever as the orcs hit them was, like, "What the very fuck am I watching now!?!"
Trainspotting
Indiana Jones 1
The Matrix
