Kill Bill 2, the discussion with The Bride and Bill, all in Black and White, a real love letter to cinema
When the title screen to The Wizard of Oz rolls and I hear the orchestra kick in, I am always instantly transported back to my childhood as if time has not advanced a single day. So while it's not technically what you're looking for, that gets my vote.

Saving Private Ryan - The Omaha beach assault remains one of the most brilliantly intense and harrowing sequences ever committed to film. Apocalypse Now - The living hell of the Vietnam war seen through the lens of a fever dream as This Is The End sets the tone perfectly. Trainspotting - A barrage of pitch black wit and kinetic energy that catapults the viewer headfirst into the brilliant sage to follow. |
I'm sure it'll still be awe inspiring in 2032 but Star Wars is 44 years old not 55.

What I also love about the scene is that because we already know what's coming there's a great tension filling every moment of it.

Exactly. A small tender moment, even if we can see at Beatrix's reaction that she's afraid to see him, but also happy, somehow. And it all happens in an instant

This is what happens when I post late at night, when the caffeine has worn off and my brain has turned to potato.
Leon The Professional (1994) had an intense and well choreographed opening for a 90s movie. Also much more than just tooty shooty.

Not the best opening of all time but the opening to Dawn of the Dead remake was fantastic...than the rest of the movie fell off.
