Does it have to be a movie? My favorite opening of all time is "Man of Science, Man of Faith". The season 2 premier of LOST.

eta: The pilot would be up there too.

Dramatic movies are great and all, but my favorite opening scene of all time is from a comedy, and one that becomes more prescient every day...

Idiocracy Opening Scene

While it might not be the "best" opening scene of all time History of the World part 1's opening had me in tears of laughter the first time I saw it. "The ape stood... and became man."
