Athens 2004 always my favorite. I watched it from Opening to the Closing. I was very impressed & in awe. Especially to have witnessed the Olympics at a conscious age- 16 at time. Before then, I'd only heard of the Atlanta Games & glanced the Sydney Opening Ceremony. Beijing was impressive as well, in my top 3.

In my opinion, the most spectacular Olympic opening ceremony in history was Athens 2004, it was like seeing the most colossal theater production in the world on a journey from the beginnings of Hellenic mythology and the wonderful culture of the Aegean to the present day. It will hardly be surpassed, considering that the IOC wants to scale down the Olympians to avoid animosity towards the event. Regarding the lighting of the Olympic cauldron, I think the most iconic was Barcelona 1992, however I consider that the most spectacular due to the scale of production and effects was Sydney 2000.

I have read consultations on many websites that classify the Athens 2004 opening ceremony as the most beautiful in history, others think that Beijing 2008, others consider that it was Barcelona 1992. In each case, a show concept conceived with an ambition different. Beijing 2008 was apotheosis and extravagant on all sides, revealing the Chinese sentiment towards the western world of the bigger, taller and more massive the better. A multimillion-dollar show with masterful mass choreography conceived to leave everyone with their mouths open and to make China's ambition as an economic power very clear. I think nobody disputes that.

I would say the olympic openings and closings from 2000 up until 2008 I would say are mind-blowing. After the 2000s, pretty much it's been less spectacular as I got older. However, with the paris olympics occuring nearly 100 years after it was once hosted in 1924, considering two of the greatest athletics in track and field at that time which inspired the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, that has to be something special and a honor for paris, france to host it again on the same year as it occurred back in 1924.

Archery shot is still the best for me! Omg that was a quite a show!!!

The queen, the archer and the synchronization of drummers are prolly the best

Beijing was by far the most impressive ever !

Moscow 1980, the Misha Bear human panel had to be on the TOP 10. Love the #4 1992 paralympic archer was also outstanding. Amazing moments! Thank you.

Now I can see the inspiration for Asian Games 2018 opening in Indonesia. 1. President enter the stadium doing Motorcycle stunt : clear inspired from the queen and bond. 2. Thousand Dancer : inspired from Beijing Drummer.
