I remember reading a long time ago about how slowly and deliberately the royal family moves. It also matches how characters like James Bond or Don Draper are nonreactive, never startled, always moving correctly. On the other hand, nerdy and anxious characters are always fidgety and clumsy. The main character in Silicon Valley is the best example.
I love how much you can learn about body language from movies, even if the scenes are written around the characters. I don’t Like YouTube PUA types, but Charisma on Command had a really good deconstruction of Don Draper and his demeanour.
Another film favourite of mine is a scene where Clark Kent removes his glasses while talking to Lois Lane who is off camera. His entire body language turns from Clark Kent to Superman.
Abed in Community also does it a lot when he becomes Han Solo or the guy from My Dinner With Andre. You can really see the differences because the same actor is playing different people.
