Actually agree with OP; cant think of an opening that is in fact more legendary than "Once upon a time in the west". Excellent suggestion.

An amazing opening scene is from "Akira" and another is the Bullet Title Sequence from Lord of War and ofcourse:
Trainspotting opening scene
can't find it on youtube so a typograph version of the speech:

Star Trek 2009 opening sequence wins it for me.
The first Pokemon movie had an awesome opening when I was like 10.
Now I'll say Gladiator though, because exploding catapult stones is just awesome.
Opening scene to Top Secret!! Man being plowed through a stone bridge to just stand there and not fall of the train!
The car crash at the beginning of Final Destination 2. Horrible movie. Horrible chain. Amazing opening sequence :-)
I remember back in '93 Watching "Jason goes to Hell: Friday the 13th" in the opening scene, this chick ( undercover cop ) was in a towel, and bending over to adjust the water in a bathtub LMAO, and just as she did, I made the loudest Fart sound, and the whole theater laughed for about 5 mins. If you can google it and find that scene, watch it, I am chuckling just thinking about it LOL...
Would I be considered heartless if I said Bambee?
X-men 2 was pretty awesome
a lot of good choices here, but I find it hard to pick anything but Raiders of the Lost Ark myself

First thing that comes to mind for me is the Dark Knight.
Will never ever forget the opening narrative speech to Mad Max 2/Road Warrior.
The begin of Pulp Fiction
