Not sure if it's the best, but my favorite is probably Rocky 2 (which also has one of my favorite endings). Post-fight, ambulances driving through the darkness in Philadelphia with that kickass theme playing. What are some others that come to mind?

Saving private Ryan and Inglorious Bastards are probably the most memorable for me.

When I watched it the first time, I didn't recognize how great it was in the moment. But I love the opening tracking shot from Outlaw King. The amount of choreography and timing involved is just amazing.

The opening to Independence Day was pretty awesome, especially with a nice surround sound system.

Rocky III.

A recap of Rocky winning the title, then he is doing commercials between title defenses while Clubber is on the streets training, all set to the awesome Eye of the Tiger. A perfect opening to the movie.
