Corrado "Junior" Soprano leads Fredo Corleone down the garden path to his destruction.
Perhaps the greatest film scene of all time.

I finally got around to watching Gomorra, a film about the Napolitan Camorra. It's perhaps the most dispassionate mob film I've ever seen, after you've seen it you'll never look at Hollywood mob films the same way again. For the first 40 minutes I had to read the subtitles. The actors all speak Napolitan, not Italian. It took me awhile to clue in. Toronto's Napolitan community are so thoroughly integrated into Canadian society that you don't hear the old dialect any more.
Being Italian born between Central Italy's two major metropolis, my head belongs to Rome but my heart belongs to Napoli.

Found this Russian Film just recently, "White Tiger".
This scene showing the German surrender is quite remarkable. When the German delegation walked into that room full of furious Russian soldiers you could just feel the hatred right through the screen. The Russian were there waiting for them. The master race has been completely and undeniably vanquished by the inferior Russians. Oh the irony. The Germans are told to wait outside until the appointed time and they obey. Then they are told where to sit. The Russians didn't say a word, didn't stand, didn't acknowledge the presence of the Germans. You could feel that the Russians just wanted to tear the Germans to pieces with their bare hands. Only Zuhkov speaks and it's direct, to the point and not a word that might be misconstrued.
The guy who plays Zuhkov just commands this scene.
Very powerful.
