I'd vote for Napoleon Dynamite.
The movie might not be what you consider awesome, but the opening tied into the movie well...plus...for as much as I hate the White Stripes...that song fits perfectly.

JANE:
I need a father who's a role
model, not some horny geek-boy
who's gonna spray his shorts
whenever I bring a girlfriend home
from school.
(snorts)
Like he'd ever have a chance with
her. What a lame-o. Somebody really
should put him out of his misery.
A beat. JANE plays with her hair, lost IN thought.
RICKY:
Want me to kill him for you
JANE stares at the camera incredulously, then LAUGHS.
JANE:
Yeah, would you?

Alien for me. The letters popping up all so slow, just gets the mood down. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Pulp Fiction are up there to. Goodfellas was a good call also. Garden State and Catch Me If You Can are recent movies that come to mind.

The best closing scene is Casablanca, but GWTW is pretty damned good.
Good call on Casablanca! And I would totally agree on Gone With the Wind had it ended when Rhett walked away from Scarlett. It should have been ended with, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," instead of "After all, tomorrow is another day!"
That's an argument I've made hundreds of times. Obviously, I'm not going to change it, but when I watch that movie, I always stop it right as he walks away.
Good call on Raging Bull for the opening! Another one that was really good was Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express. Wong uses step-printing to provide a mesmerizing visual impetus to a mesmerizing visual presentation.

How about the beginning of any Bond movie... the best though would be the opening sequence in Goldeneye... not the half naked sillohuettes of gyrating women over cheesy music... but the improbable and physics-defying escape from certain death/and or capture that preludes every Bond film.
And then of course...
