Default Re: Great subtle moments in movies

The definition of a "subtle moment" is at question here. Does the moment have to have some deeper significance to the movie that some people may not notice or just any moment that people may not catch on initial viewings?

I'll defend my Major League post... not that it is the focus of the argument but as to guage what people believe is subtle in a movie.

Sheen is off to the side of the shot when Berrenger and Snipes look at him after his comment. The scene is still focused on Berrenger and Sheen's head shake is very quick and by no means the focus of the shot.

His reaction is subtle as it isn't the focus of the shot nor does Sheen exaggerate his movements. It is, in fact, a very real looking reaction.

Just as a starting point... do you all consider this Major League scene a "subtle moment"?
