Ponziani, scotch gambit, Danish gambit, urusov gambit, kings gambit, KIA those are a few ideas. Some of those mentioned before are not necessarily exciting in the mainlines, so you may have to deviate a bit.
Please suggest fun and aggressive openings for white

Thank you very much. Which would you say is the least well known?

Colle Zukertort/Barry Attack. You get the same basic setup every time. Or, if you want to stick with e4, learn the Goring/Morra and then something against Caro Kann and French.
p.s. Learn the Von Hennig-Schara as Black. You'll have a lot of fun with it, and its quite the point scorer at club level.

Reti Gambit against the French.
Scotch gambit or Gorin gambit against 1...e5
Cochrane against Petroff.
Fantasy Variation against the Caro Kann.
Mainlines against the Sicilian, more attacking than the Morra.
Thank you
Try the king's gambit. I sometimes play it and you always get interesting attacking games. I feel like it has a bad reputation but in my opinion e5 players face it so rarely that they don't really know what they're doing and you get strong attacks. Its just a whole lot of fun and of victories for just one pawn.
King's Gambit is a good suggestion against 1. ... e5. I would try the Grand Prix Attack against the Sicilian.

The 'queenside -fianchetto' "Bird's Opening." ..{seeking control, of the 'e5' square}.. And, with a delayed pawn-push, of, 'e3-to-e4'.. supported, by the 'queen-knight' on 'd 2'.. and, 'Q-e2'.. for starters.
@richie_and_oprah I have tried the bongcloud supreme in the past and have a 100% result with it after two games ( what I call the bongcloud supreme is where the white king finds a lovely home on g7)

@JJaynes The leningrad and classical dutch defences are some of the most sharp and often aggressive responses to d4, probably only coming second only to the benko gambit in being incredibly sharp and aggressive.

This can't be forced at all, and in many other cases, it's not any good.
After 1.f4, if White hasn't established his center with 2.Nf3 and 3.e3 before playing 4.b4, he will suffer in a similar manner to why you don't play 1.d4 f5 2.c4 b6 in the Dutch.
Also, some moves just outright avoid it all together.
In the case of 1.f4 d5 2.b3, not securing d4 with Nf3 and e3 before doing b3 is a bad idea, and Black can play something like 1.f4 d5 2.b3?! c5 3.Bb2 d4!. Now any advancement of the e-pawn will give White a backwards e-pawn and a weak position.
Ways to avoid it outright? Well, you've got 1...g6, which many players that play the Modern Defense play this move against literally anything except 1.b3 or 1.b4. The other option is 1.f4 e5, From's Gambit!
You can't force any opening as White or Black. Many are suggesting various double kingpawn openings. That's all fine and good if Black plays 1...e5. He has 19 other legal options, of which a good 6 or 7 of them are respectable.
Both sides decide the opening, not White or Black alone!

The Benko is actually a positional defense with constant pressure on White's Queenside, particularly b2. It's not sharp by any stretch.
If you are looking for Sharp, you're better off going the Grunfeld route, but no matter which way you go, you can't force sharp. Against the Grunfeld, White could play the Fianchetto Variation, which forces a manouvering game as otherwise Black will die if he tries to force his way through. With the Dutch, the Dangerfield Attack basically refutes 3...g6 (the Leningrad proper), and Black must play 3...d6 or 3...e6.
@ThrillerFan Refutes? Really? The Leningrad Dutch, although very complicated and seemingly a loss of tempi is definitely not yet refuted. At club level the Dangerfield may beat some Leningrads, but is far from a refutation. With correct play Black usually at least equalises , and in some cases black comes out much better.

Clearly you are clueless. After 1.d4 f5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3, the move 3...g6 is a serious mistake.
You can attempt to transpose with 3...d6, and if White plays 4.Nf3, then 4...g6 is fine, but if White finds another waiting move, Black's got nothing better than to go into a Classical setup. With the Knight on f3, the move h4 is ineffective. With the Knight back at home on g1, 1.d4 f5 2.Bf4 Nf6 3.e3 g6? 4.h4! with either Qf3/g3 or h5 coming, depending on response by Black, is already a significant advantage for White!
And also, how are you going to finish your development? After something like 4...h6, in order to answer 5.h5 with 5...g5, White's got 5.Qf3! and now Black can't complete his development as 5...Bg7?? is an outright blunder and after 6.Qg3!!, Black's position is already lost!
Hello. As a person who loves playing aggressive openings like the Leningrad Dutch or the Sicilian Dragon, I would like to have an opening as white that would give me the same pleasure as these two openings. Thank you in advance.
