Not an "opening line", but an "opening scene"...

My favorite opening scene is from Amistad. Djimon Hounsou's (yes, I had to look up the spelling) rythmic breathing, along with the close-up not identifying what was really going on, other than the desperate sounds of scraping...to be coupled with the contrasts of the darkness and the reflections of light. Spielberg created a masterpiece of an opening scene in my opinion.
