The Kingdom

The first film i watched is The kingdom, which although isn't a genre I'd want to do, has given me idea on the opening. In the opening it uses news reels with an explanation of the Saudi Arabian/American oil situation. It also uses very graphic silhouettes of tanks and different relating images. I'd definately use this sort of intro, but for a different genre.
Camera angles are also used well in the film, especially in more action scenes where the camera moves and seems hand-held, they also make scenes where people are just talking more interesting as it moves around and switches, one from behind a curtain making only the people visible. The camera angles when people are in cars and stuff are interesting because of the way it switched between views of looking in the windscreen, behind seats and in a way jumping between characters points of view.
