I think this opening scene is the best for a Western, and is better than many on the list.

Your favorite movie opening scenes

A thread to post your faves. I love the opening scene from "Once Upon a Time in the West". Sergio Leone at his finest. Minimal dialogue. Everything is set by mood.

For me it has to be Top Gun the original from 1986.

The opening sequence of Star Wars (1977) may seem dated,
but at the time, audiences were captivated.

The closing scene was pretty good as well. Great acting by Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards, and Claudia Cardinale. Henry Fonda said he really enjoyed playing a villain for once.

Henry Fonda didn't take the part right away when Leone approached him. Fonda decided to ask Eli Wallach what he thought. Wallach to take the part; he would have a great time.
