Ooo, I thought of a good one: in Zombieland, when you find out that the story Woody Harrelson's been telling about his dog dying was actually about his child. It's a pretty blindsiding moment that works even better because it's immediately followed by one of the biggest laughs in the film.

Bubba Ho-Tep is also a very serious look at aging and the way we treat the elderly.

Yeah it's interesting that the most honest, focused and empathetic movie I've seen on these topics is a flick about elderly Elvis and black JFK fighting a mummy that has either a dick joke or a poop joke every ten minutes. That's the magic of genre.

When Mario van Peebles gets ate by the shark in Jaws the Revenge.

It's okay because in at least one version of the movie he gets better.

The combination of it being one long take slowly moving into Bob Hoskins' face. One of the best displays of acting in a film.
