Line 60:
*** Who really thought the Wachowski bros. would make a movie ''without'' demonstrating spectacular new ways to use cameras?
* The 2008 ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'' film had several of these, mostly with Tony and Pepper. One strong example is after she helps him replace his chest piece, nearly killing him in the process:

'''Tony:''' I don't have anyone but you. }}
* ''[[In Bruges]]'' was mostly made of these, made all the more effective by a combination of Brendan Gleeson's mad acting skills and Colin Farrell's eyebrows. There was only one scene that could genuinely be called an "action scene."
Line 91:
* Ripley putting Newt to bed in ''[[Aliens]]''.
** In the first ''[[Alien vs. Predator]]'' this quite effective exchange:

'''Charles Bishop Weyland''': My doctors tell me the worst is behind me.
'''Lex''': You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland. Stay on the ship. We'll update you at the top of every hour.
'''Weyland''': You know, when you get sick, you think about your life and how you're going to be remembered. You know what I realized would happen when I go? A ten percent fall in share prices. Maybe twelve. And that's it.
'''Lex''': I've heard this speech before. My dad broke his leg seven hundred feet from the summit of Mount Ranier. He was like you. He wouldn't go back or let us stop. We reached the top and he opened a bottle of champagne. I had my first drink with my dad at 14,400 feet. On the way down, he developed a blood clot in his leg that traveled to his lung. He suffered for four hours before dying twenty minutes from the base.
'''Weyland''': You think that's the last thing your dad remembers? The pain? Or drinking champagne with his daughter fourteen thousand feet in the air? I need this. }}
* [[Gangs of New York]] has a scene featuring Bill the Butcher sitting in a rocking chair and... talking about his life, his background and his history with [[Worthy Opponent|Priest Vallon]]. It's several minutes worth of screen time with camera focusing exclusively on Daniel Day-Lewis. And it's awesome.
