Half-Life 2;
it sets the mood so well, it tells you so much background, it tells you what's going on without removing the mystery behind it. Also, they made listening to dialogue optional, something I loved.
Or the Duty Calls intro, I'm tied between them.

I really like the Warship Gunner 2 intro. Sadly, it doesn't appear to be on youtube (<.>)
Basically, 2 fleets fight, the first fleet gets obliterated by the obviously evil second fleet.
Cue one Destroyer coming out of the smoke, the last good guy ship. Music ramps up, and all hell breaks loose as the one ship obliterates all the bad guys. Sums up the game quite nicely.
On top of that, if you let it idle at the title screen, it's goes to attract mode and plays a mission with one of your custom designs. The AI very impressive while using your ship, since it can fire all the guns simultaneously.

I'm on my phone so I can't link a video, but the most memorable in my opinion was the intro to Star Wars: Demolition.
The most awe-inspiring/ my most favorite right now is probably the intro for the first Mass Effect.

I like the opening to LoZ: Wind Waker as well, but that's already been posted, so...
This, from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

I've got to agree with several other people here: Dawn of War has one of the greatest intro cinematics and Bioshock has the greatest opening.
The actual intro for that game was well made, but the first part didn't really fit the tone of the game. So I'd give an honourable mention to the actual WiC campaign intro, if just for its cheesy hilariousness.tsb247 said:
"Unmarked containerships" ... with tanks and gunships
Police car driving away: "America is under attack!"
"The vultures have been fed and the world has seen our might ... Now, clear the skies!"
Really, it is as if the whole cinematic isn't meant to be taken seriously up to that point.

I just love the music used in the Phantasy Star series
I also like this one for summing up the plot of the game and the 4th wall breaking-
I have to saaayyyyy... the opening to Prince of Persia: SoT. Was the first that came to mind. The whole "time is like a river" thing, mostly.
Truly the best RTS-intro ever made, I would almost always watch this intro whenever I played TAtsb247 said:
I am not sure Americans liked it but after they dictate orders to several third world countries and kill people while sitting in air conditioned bunkers using drone still want to be seen as the good guys and have the nerve to tell us to do more for Afghanistan while own country is being attacked because of their war, I have to say my favourate intro is the intro to
Red Alert 2.
Every time the US tries to blame Pakistan or tells us to do more or my family members talk about working and liveing in the US(my sister is about to leave), I go and watch this intro on youtube to calm my anger.
