Inverse of the other thread, and people don't usually discuss beginnings as much. I'd go something like (not really ranked):
Inland Empire ("Do you know what whores do?")
The White Ribbon ("...maybe this story will serve to explain some things that happened in this country.")
Twin Peaks: The Return ("I understand.")
The Forbidden Room
Tag (on the bus)
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
The Master
Himizu ("Do dreams and effort make a flower bloom?")
Drive
Watchmen

The opening scene of Werckmeister Harmonies is one of the greatest scenes ever.
I also agree with your mentions of Tag and Watchmen. Both are pretty spectacular.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Nice, didn't know you were also a Watchmen fan (unless you just like the opening a lot). |

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Nice, didn't know you were also a Watchmen fan (unless you just like the opening a lot). I quite like the movie overall barring a couple of oddball casting choices (Akerman and Goode), but that opening 10 minutes is legitimately all-time great. |
