I have to say LOTR: FOTR. I mean, COME ON! That huge, kick-ass battle scene? And the way Sauron smashed his way through those armies? And how the Ring was cut from his finger? Absolutely amazing...

i havnt seen LOTR yet so i have to stick with "The ONE", i mean, how can you get better then seeing this prisaner walking down the hall, in full armor, and then as a knife fly's through and hits the armor, he spins around and puts a dent in the cell bars with his foot! and then after that you see him try to kill the other him! and there both moving all fast...and of course..the music, its all tied in with kick @$$ songs... i just love that movie...

Nope, nope: MIB I.

C'mon, think about it. That lil ol green dragonfly dude flying all over the place, narrowly missing this vehicle and that before finalizing itself as bug-splat....

Seriously though, one of the scariest opening sequences was "Jaws," I think. The way that girl first got "bumped," then taken by the shark. No blood, guts n' gore, but the way she got yanked under and then thrashed around left more than enough for the imagination to deal with. Because although I couldn't SEE all of what was happening, I KNEW what was happening. The mind can conjure up better things than Hollywood; this to me then was the most frightening and unsettling movie opener I've ever seen.

I dont know about best opening, but "The One" had the best ending too. I liked that when he was fighting all those people..

heh, i love the scene where he's running and he picks up the two motercycles, and bashes them together, then jumps and kicks both the riders
good stuff...

and the scen where the *good* him just got hom, and was doing all the Tai-chi, which reveals for the first time, that they are completly oposite, as he is smooth and subtle, and the other guy is stronge, and forcive...good stuff...good good stuff
