Basic Instinct has an iconic opening scene about 20 minutes into the film

I second the bank robbery scene from the dark knight as one of the better opening scenes.

But Top Gun opening is just so damn good.

That’s what she looked like in Dead Calm. Great movie.

The opening scene to Saving Private Ryan is him and his family at a cemetery in France.

Always loved the opening scene from The Rock
Not much action, just cool.

Lots of good options, but the one that sticks out the most is gladiator

also the opening scene in saving private Ryan was pretty powerful.
