7. Napoleon Eats A Sandwich - The Man From U.N.C.L.E
Napoleon (Henry Cavill) and Illya (Armie Hammer) trigger the alarm on a safe while breaking into it, causing them to jump onto a nearby boat in an attempt to escape the pursuing henchmen. Solo gets knocked off the boat and swims to the dock where he finds a truck, and more to the point, finds a picnic inside the truck, including a very tasty looking sandwich and glass of wine. Solo then tucks into the meal all while Illya continues to be chased in circles in the boat, avoiding gunfire while Solo nonchalantly devours the food. Solo drives away after eating, but of course, he returns to bail his reluctant teammate out in the end. The film overall may be a relatively forgettable spy caper, but this scene was absolutely gold and pretty much solely justifies the movie's existence. Cavill's comic timing, the way Guy Ritchie sets up the shot: everything is on-point.
