For instance in "Alien" when you the crew cries in terror from the chestburster, that was genuine fear, the actors had no idea his chest was actually going to explode.

I don't know exactly what constitutes real but Chrissie's death scene in "Jaws" sure did shake me to the bone.
And overall, the movie "Dog Day Afternoon" has an intensely authentic feel to it.

Bruce Wayne's dinner party in The Dark Knight.
Supposedly, none of the actors in the scene had seen Heath Ledger in full Joker makeup, so the sight of him shook some of the extras up, as well as causing Michael Caine to forget a line he was supposed to say. Ledger also apparently improvised much of his dialogue with Maggie Gyllenhaal, so the confused look on her face was quite real.

I heard that after they filmed that scene, Yaphet Kotto (Parker) went home and then once he got there, instead of speaking to his wife, he went right into his bedroom and quietly just sat in it with the lights off and kept to himself alone in it for about an hour.

The horse … The Godfather … not so much the horse itself but the man's reaction to realizing it was there !

In The Line Of Fire:
There was genuine emotion with Clint Eastwood when his Frank Horrigan character was describing his reaction when JFK was shot. Clint's voice was really cracking up.

I don't know if Christopher Nolan already warned him in advance but Senator Patrick Leahy (he was the man who said to The Joker in that scene "we're not intimidated by thugs!") looked like he was also caught off guard when The Joker grabbed him and held a knife to him.

She was also great in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Half the impact of the ending was her reaction to Donald Sutherland.
I notice in some movies from the 60s and 70s they might send an actor off into a street scene and the people around them are not actors.
Actually that reminds me, the old guy in The Man Who Would Be King-especially when he finds the god can bleed-that guy was a good natural actor for an amateur.

DB Sweeney is in a scene in Fire in the Sky with a reaction that just takes your breath away because it is so real and raw in its intensity ! |

The scenes in Dr Strangelove of the army troops assaulting the air force base look like news footage.

And Heath really did drop her out the window and Christian really did save her! Man, talk about Method Acting!

Brother From Another Planet The people walking on a sidewalk in a scene are not extras and real folks just going on about their day and staring into the camera.

Linda Hamilton smacking the security guard with the broom handle in Terminator 2. Lol! You're funny. That's really true though.  www.looper.com/173980/fight-scenes-that-went-too-far/ "In Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Linda Hamilton got more than a little carried away after another actor botched a physically demanding scene one time too many. According to information revealed in the film's commentary track, Hamilton was doing a scene with actor Ken Gibbel in which he had to strike her in the stomach with his baton. Unfortunately, Hamilton had to repeat her fall to the hard floor several times because her co-star wasn't able to sell the hit out of fear of hurting her. The actress grew increasingly frustrated as her knee started to get banged up from the falls, and she quickly found an opportunity to prove that she didn't share Gibbel's fears of hurting a co-star. Fans may remember a scene in Terminator 2 in which Hamilton escapes a mental hospital by beating a guard with a broom handle. That guard was played by Gibbel, and Hamilton was so furious with him by that point that she held nothing back when it came time to do the fight scene. As a result, the three bloody blows directly to the guard's face are not at all stagecraft. The actress really whacked him as hard as she could with the stick and left him with some injuries and a pretty great story to tell about over-dramatic actors. Although it sounds harsh, to hear it discussed in the commentary, the mood on set was almost gleeful as everyone involved must have known they had the perfect shot."
