"What's the best non-spoken acting in a film?"


  

          

It could be just a look or even the slightest body movement that greatly contributed to a role, etc. I think the winner is Al Pacino in The Godfather when Kaye tells Michael that she aborted his child. The look of intense fury in Pacino's eyes still unnerves me every time I see it.

It must have been really hard to cast someone required to show so much emotion throughout the movie without speech.

There's a moment when Taye Diggs comes out of the radio offices looking dejected. Mos looks at Taye and then has this amazing look of disappointment.
That moment sold me on Mos' acting ability.
Absolutely great moment in a film that's, well, not so absolutely great.

Pacino's minimalism and what he achieves with his eyes in "Two" is astounding. What's coming to mind now are his scenes with Senator Geary in his home office and with Tom when Michael gives Tom an ultimatum when they were discussing whacking Roth at the airport (I think that's what it was).

at the end of the wrestler before mickey jumps off the top ropes

man, that look in his eyes is the most bittersweet stare i have ever witnessed, whether in film or real life
that look spoke a thousand words and emotions at the same time
internally, i sort of felt like crying when i first saw it

Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, police car scene, when the sound is muted and all you see is Heath's head sticking out of the police car window, taking the air in and looking outside, very much dog-like

probably my favorite image in the whole film

OMG yes! That's also an example of the great cinematography in the Dark Knight. I would frame a still from that scene and put it on my wall.

The bar scene. So much emotion and complexity in that scene and nobody says a word.

But Toshiro Mifune's body language throughout Yojimbo is just great. He conveys supreme confidence, boredom, confusion (sometimes all at once).

In Godfather I. Watching his eyes dart around and around as he's steeling himself up for what he's about to do. You can almost hear his thoughts, "Am I really gonna do this???"

it's pretty much a silent film,
but you follow everything.

actually heath's performance through the entire movie was cool that way.
you always knew he meant every word he wasn't saying.
