I can't remember opening credits. Oh! I know! The Charlie Hunnam Nicholas Nicolby with the gorgeous miniatures!
We had a blog post about best end credits a while back. [link]

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Modern films? Having seen the opening credits for this movie recently, I'd have to put The Inside Job opening credit sequence in there. I really liked it and different from Spike Lee's previous movies.
The opening sequence for Do the Right Thing has Rosie Perez at her absolute finest.

I don't know about if I'd call them good, but the opening credits for Mannequin were certainly distinctive.
I liked the idea of the neon sign opening credits for Day Watch but unfortunately can't read Russian.
If it's open to TV show credit sequences, Carnivàle is an all time great.

I loved the opening sequence for Watchmen. It was better than the movie.

The credits for Amélie are amazing. Also, Charade and Reservoir Dogs.

I like James Bond title sequences in general.
I was gonna say: Casino Royale. And I think any Tarantino movie.

It's been so long since I've seen it, but I do believe that Beetlejuice had a fun opening credit sequence, with the camera zooming through the miniature town.
