Equilibrium. Definitely a B movie. Call it a Matrix clone if you will, but that opening was an incredible experience in the theater.

Not really the opening scene, but I love the opening credits of Thank You For Smoking
Did you know Katie Holmes turned down her role in the Dark Knight because of her sex scene with Aaron Eckhart in Thank You For Smoking?
She was still in a relationship with Tom Cruise at the time and he was jealous (typical Cruise) of the on screen chemistry she had with Eckhart.
Smoke, smoke, smoke, that cigarette!
The opening of Once Upon A Time In The West always stuck with me.
Dawn of the Dead 2004
The long, slow burn exploring the depths of his alcoholism at the start of Leaving Las Vegas.

Too bad the rest of the movie does not live up to that opening
I really only opened this thread to make sure this answer was here.
Anyone who hasn't seen it, really should.
