Which film has the best/worst pre-titles sequence?

Rewatched OHMSS yesterday and really enjoyed the pre-titles stuff. The build-up to revealing Lazenby, the way it's directed, the awesome fight scene in the sea. It's definitely in my top five. I'd also include Octopussy in my top five along with Die Another Day.

The only thing I really remember about FYEO is the pre-title sequence, with Blofeld and the helicopter. It's really silly, it's a naff way to kill Blofeld off, but I really enjoy it. I like the way we begin with Bond visiting Tracy's grave and then head off to defeat Blofeld. I only wish that had been an actual movie in itself with Lazenby.

I also have a fondness for YOLT. As a first-time viewer, the 'death' of Bond really caught my imagination and I found it an interesting way to open a film.

DAF I struggle with. On the one hand I like the almost silliness of it, but on the other hand it's such a disappointment coming after OHMSS. It's all just a bit underwhelming. Maybe not necessarily bad - just a bit 'oh, is that it?'

What are your thoughts?
