--- Quote --- 1.. Jack looking at Ennis after the reunion kiss..when he's going back to the apartment.
He looks stunned to the core.
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

All those & ALL the others mentioned. We clearly don't NEED the DVD - we can all run the entire movie in our minds (still HAVE to have the DVD - who am I kidding).
Another one for me: The moment when Jack & Lureen are dancing & he has been all smiles & sex appeal & they turn & his face shows how alone & lonely he is w/out Ennis.
And, Ennis when Jack's farther says that his ashes are going into the family plot - heartbreaking. And again just after Ennis asks "this fella Kurt, he loves you?"
saucycobblers:
One that hasn't been mentioned...
When Ennis looks at Jack when they're riding and says "Yer gonna run them sheep off again if ya don't quiet down". It's not just the beautiful look on Ennis's face, but also Jake's hunched over posture (no reaction to Ennis, just a slight tilt of the head - no words needed) - just something about this moment says perfect synchronicity to me. I remember the first time I saw the film - before I knew the story or had read the novella - and I remember thinking at this moment that this was the real deal, this was a lifelong love that was absolutely unbreakable. It was that strong a feeling - pure screen magic.

What a super thread,
My favorite Jack expressions,
His first night on the mountain, looking so wistfully at the light from Ennis's fire.
Jack after saying "well I won't" during the food conversation, what was he really thinking of?
Jack when saying "me neither"
Ennis/Heath every single moment especially:
Right after the first kiss in TS 2, when he has his forehead against Jack's during "I'm sorry?, it alright, its alright"
Ennis/Heath smoking looking over the sheep resting on the way up the mountain, he looks so pensive.
The ride on the ridge after TS 1, what was he really thinking?
Front-Ranger:
A couple of my favorites:
Jack's when his horse is crow-hopping
Ennis's looking after the departing Jack after the crow-hopping

Those are ones I love too
I am starting to thinking that that was the moment when Ennis began falling in love with Jack.
Its right after that that he starts looking up at the mounain.....
