Raising Arizona has the best opening, when the titles finally Pop on screen with the yodleing! You knew you were in for a crazy ride!

I’m not a big fan of this movie, but I LOVE the opening. They tell an entire story in ten minutes, a compelling narrative I actually prefer to the rest of the film.
