Greatest audio/visual opening to a movie of all time?


I think the visual of the desert, the font type of the credits, the speed of the credits and Joel Goldsmith's superb score make this the best first minute of any movie ever made. Tango and Cash comes close for for the audio/visual combo, but this I think takes the cake. I know that technically Orson Welles and other film makers have created better visual opening sequences. However as far as the combo of both visual and audio, this is as good as it gets.

Any contenders?

I agree it was pretty cool, but I prefer the opening of Cliffhanger.
