Great subtle moments in movies

[Triumph36]

Inspired by Rushmore's thread, except kind of the opposite. What's a terrific moment that you don't think most people are aware of?

The Big Lebowski has about 100, but my favorite is when Jackie Treehorn is talking to the Dude - Treehorn says, "People forget that the brain is the biggest erogenous zone.", and the Dude says - "on you, maybe." Perhaps I'm an idiot, but the implication to me was always that the Dude's [censored] was about the size of his head, which is a pretty hilarious joke.

Anyway, list better ones than that.

In Commando when John Matrix learns that Bennett isn't dead. This one is pretty hard to top.

There's a ton of awesome (not really at that subtle) understated visual scenes in Pi. One that I remember years after seeing the movie is this closeup of milk being poured into coffee, and seeing a pattern emerge when the milk hits the black liquid, and then just as quickly vanish and become part of a new dilated coffee. Sick awesome metaphor for the protaganists' search for an equation to the stock market.

Then he went and did mothaf'ing stuff like Requiem which is subtle like a sledgehammer, and The Fountain WTF, so amazingly disappointing

The coffee thing doesn't seem any more subtle than showing the pattern of the pieces in their game of Go or some of the other stuff they threw in there to try to show how all this life stuff is weirdly connected.
I liked the movie a lot and appreciate the addition of those shots though.
