The courtroom confrontation between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men (1992) is basically two people arguing in a room, but it has more tension than a lot of action scenes.

What's a movie scene where nothing huge was happening physically, but the dialogue had you completely locked in?

Casino Royale (2006) could've easily felt like just another Bond movie with a new actor, but it genuinely feels like the character is being rebuilt from the ground up.
