Favorite opening scene in any movie

That is an amazing scene and it was around the time of Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds that I really started to admire Tarantino and saw his work become stronger than his early material.

One of my all-time favorite films is The Ascent, which that opening scene in Inglorious Basterds always reminded me of and I would not be at all surprised if Tarantino reference it and was inspired by it:

One of the most gorgeous opening sequences happens in one of the worst films I've ever seen - Aguirre, Wrath Of God.
