Default Re: Great subtle moments in movies

in the remake of "Sleepy Hollow" with Johnny Depp...

After the Headless Horseman re-emerges from the windmill,
Johnny raises one eyebrow in disbelief. ( how's that for subtle? )

Other subtle lines:

"I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the wookie win!"
-- C3P0, Star Wars IV

"We're victims, aren't we all?"
-- The Crow to Tin-Tin right before he kills him

"These aren't the droids you're looking for..."
-- Obi-wan Ben Kenobi, Star Wars IV

In some Woody Allen Movie:

( Scene is at an Art Museum )

Woody: ( to girl staring at painting ) That's an interesting Renoir.
What does it mean to you ?

Girl: It diagram's our pathetic struggle against an indifferent
and hostile universe; lost in the emptiness of death and sorrow;
a netherworld of nothingness, void of all meaning and feeling.

Woody: What are you doing Saturday night ?

Girl: Committing suicide.

Woody: What are you doing Friday night ?

Man to Bruce Willis in Mental Institution in Twelve Monkeys:

Hello, friend. I am mentally divirgent. You see, I am called
by the Elders of the Planet Ogo. We are planning an insurrection
against the barbarian overlords.

But even though this construct is convincing to me in every
detail, they tell me that I can only be well, when I stop
going there...

Are you divirgent, friend ?

Please research the definition of the word 'subtle.'

surely you concede that these are not, by any means,
scenes used in the trailers...
