Two others that come to mind...Wilfred Brimley as he government attorney in Absence of Malice... and the other is the scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper in one of my favorites, True Romance ... great scene, terrific acting by the pair at the top of their game.

Agree about Ned Beatty and Beatrice Straight in Network. Had not realised that was Barrie Chase until just now, and have seen that film umpteen times. She is memorable in such a teeny role.

He is onscreen only a few minutes and never says a word. I was a kid when I saw this the first time, and for some reason the silent figure stuck in my brain. The character didn't scare me, he just ... I don't know. I never forgot Robert Duvall's name or face after that. Not necessarily a major movie moment for the general public, but definitely one for me.

Not so much as a kiss my foot or have an apple". She later repeats "Mew-chewal, I'm shoo-ah" at least twice! Here is one that I feel is worth a mention:

His choked, yet robotic, recitation of the information conveys every shred of the Sgt.'s tortured inner conflict as he's forced to carry out a direct order that every fiber of his being resists. DeLuise's screen time runs barely over a minute, but it's one of the most gripping moments in the film.
