Default Re: Great subtle moments in movies

"Adaptation" is full of them. One of my favorites is when the two brothers are on the set of Being John Malkovich and Donald asks Charlie if he has any ideas on cool ways to kill people for his script. Charlie throws out a Professor who's cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die, called "the deconstructionist".

Donald likes the idea and they both have this exchange of looks that's great on it's own level, but amazing when you think about the timing required since Nic Cage plays both roles. Donald looks at Charlie, then looks forward right when Charlie looks at him in a sort of disbelief that he is actually related to him. The expression and timing make the scene really damned funny.
