Looking for a scene where a character copies another's faces.

A friend of mine does work on reading faces and expressions and has enlisted me in trying to find a clip from a movie or TV show. For example, one character might stick out their tongue and the second copies. Then the first character makes a sour face and the second copies. That sort of thing. I know I've seen scenes where that happens, but I'm completely blanking on where. Can anyone think of some good scenes like that?

Something like this?

 
Altough it's not just copied facial expressions but the whole body. Thinking of it, it's not really copying but more like anticipating the other's movement.

I recall that My Soul To Take had something like this, with two people standing in front of eachother and copying eachothers movements, but I can't seem to find it. It also might have just been the body primarily, but I can't remember.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Marx Brothers mirror scene was the first thing I thought of as well, but it's not quite what she's looking for. It's been awhile since I've seen Darkman, so I'll dig out my copy and check it out. I'll also look into My Soul to Take.

II think there was one in the first Mr. Bean movie.

 One of the best scenes in Jaws is where Roy Scheider is sitting at the dinner table and his son starts to imitate him.  Once Scheider realizes, he starts pulling faces to which the child responds by copying him.  It's such a lovely scene between father and son - maybe not what you're looking for but I thought it was worth a mention.  Also, I couldn't find this scene on Youtube... it must be on there, surely?

I haven't seen My Bloody Valentine, but I've been meaning to watch it. Sounds like a good excuse to this week :)

I'm familiar with the Mr. Bean character, but haven't seen the movie. I'm guessing it might have exactly what my friend is looking for.

Jaws also sounds good. I know that scene well and can't believe I didn't think of it. I'm guessing she may find what she needs in that.

Thanks for the help everyone!
