Further to the worst film ever, I thought I would attempt to accentuate the positive:

Cannonball Run

NB. Previously did the same thread on another forum.

What about Cannonball Run 2?

White Lamborghini - no wait its a red Lamborghinin!

No what you mean about CB1 though - the tempo builds with the engine revs and the speed - really addictive 80's movie directing at its best :D

Mad Max, obviously. Most amazing 15 minutes I'd ever seen.

Saving Private Ryan was pretty good.

I also really liked the Nightcrawler in Xmen-2 intro.

Trying to get CB2 on DVD at the moment, looks like it was a US release only. I suspect it's a lot worse than I remember, but the sound of that Lamborghini at the start is worth it alone :)

There is no definitve best opening ever, but Taxi (The scooter run is fantastic.) has to be up there with the best bike related opening sequences.

Just thought of another movie - it's not the best intro, but the best entrance of one of the main characters and that's Johhny Depp's entrance at the beginning of Priates of the Carribean.
