Saving Private Ryan has two memorable scenes, one leading into another.

Even though there's a voiceover, there's no dialogue where the women are typing condolence letters to families of deceased soldiers. You can tell what has happened with the Ryan family just by watching.

Then seeing Mrs. Ryan washing the dishes & noticing the big, black car making its way up the dirt road to her house--which could only mean one thing.

It's made worse by the fact that she would've been wondering which son had died, and probably didn't consider three of them had. The Right Stuff has a similar scene in its opening.
