The Departed and it's not close. I remember being in the theatre realizing very quickly that this movie was going to be bad arse.

Another one that's good is the Girl with the dragon tattoo and Fight club. Both similar but definitely sets the tone.

Superman opening credits sequence in 1978 was ahead of its time.

Apocalypse Now

I absolutely love this opening, but it's not an actual credits scene. It's just the opening scene.

Once Upon A Time in The West.. Credit sequence could've been an Oscar winning short. LINK

2001: A Space Odyssey...epic beyond proportion LINK

Top Gun as said is also phenomenal.

Kingsmen for me

The badass riff from money for nothing kicks in as helicopters are flying over and shits blowing up. Michael Bay probably creamed his jeans when he saw that

I can't believe no one has brought up an opening credits sequence from the many James Bond movies that are out there:

Goldfinger

The Shining has that opening with them driving through glacier national park on going to the sun road.

While in general this is not my favorite movie, the opening credits are fricking badass, and feature one of the most badass songs of all time in Vitamin C by Can. Probably my favorite scene in the movie actually

Inherent Vice

the way the title comes out with the drum beat....so awesome.

Stark landscape, cheap death and Morricone gets you hooked.
