for this kind of thing, i think you really have to do a/b comparisons.

i think i have one. i think it's a kitchen scene in 'henry: portrait of a serial killer, where henry is talking about how he had to watch his mother have sex with men. a serial killer getting personal and revealing his dynamics. it doesn't get better than that.

michael rooker, the actor, seems a master of understatement.

all those apartment scenes in henry, two male low-lifes, and a woman involved with them, are rather brilliant psychological scenes.
