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.

Too bad the rest of the movie does not live up to that opening

The opening of Once Upon A Time In The West always stuck with me.
