Default The BEST Opening Scenes in Movies

What movies had opening scenes that truly "grabbed" you?

I thought the 1989 Batman and the Dark Knight both had great openings that helped set up the film's pacing and overall mood.

The beginning of Quantum of Solace, just for the score. It's pounding intensity like a countdown truly thrilled me.
