Favorite facial expressions?
rtprod:
Not lines of dialogue, nothing about camera angles and the like. What are your favorite actor's facial expressions in our film? Give your top three:
1. Heath exasperated, pausing, looking at Michelle, black eyes, after she says, "What about my job?"
2. Heath looking sideways at Michelle after dispatching the bikers, half-cocked, posing, unable to move, clenching his teeth, right before the fireworks shot
3. Heath: "Why don't you then?"
Gee, why are mine all coming from Heath? I should think about that... LOL

Another good one. And I'm with you -- every expression Heath ever makes is my favorite expression. Especially the ones with a lot of emotion, of any kind: lying on Jack's chest in TS2, reading Jack's postcard, seeing Jack drive up for the reunion, sending up a prayer of thanks, saying "why don't you then?" finding the shirts, looking out the window when talking to Alma Jr. ....
OK, stop me before I just recite the whole movie.
Among expressions that aren't particularly notable, I'm partial to Ennis' profile when Jack is stroking his cheek, and he kind of breathes out and repositions his mouth.
Wtih Jack, for some reason, I like the kind of shrugging face he makes when he says, "course, he hates my guts." I'm betting Jack fans will have some they like better than that one, though.

Ok here goes:
1.. Jack looking at Ennis after the reunion kiss..when he's going back to the apartment.
He looks stunned to the core.
2...Ennis' face after Jack tells him he misses him so much he can hardly stand it..breaks
my heart.
3. Jacks face the morning "after" when Ennis gallops away..(gulp)
You do know, I could go on and on...

Cassie's "I don't get you Ennis Del Mar" face. I truly felt the confusion and hurt in her facial expression.

I agree with that one... I love that face...
The other ones for me are
1. Jack's eyebrow raise during "Or I might be back, if the Army don't get me"
2. The laugh/smile on Jack's face after Ennis says "you'd probably deserve it" when Jack talks about the ranch forman's wife and how he's afraid he'll get shot. That laugh is so bittersweet and it breaks my heart everytime because I know what's coming after it...
3. The look on Ennis's face when he first goes into the tent in the second tent scene, when Jack takes his hat away
