For me it has to one of Heath Ledger's scenes in Dark Knight.
Off the top of my head either the scene where he makes the cop beat him up in the interrogation room and......

Or the 'magic pencil' scene.

The Dark knight, penicl trick, just because of the way it sealed the character, how he sets people on edge and plays with them.
Iron man - talking to the robots, hilarious.
