I don’t think so either. First of all… I’m probably one of few people who will admit this… but AVATAR doesn’t look that great at all!!! It seriously looks like some extravagant computer-animation. It doesn’t even look real. CG has come a long way, but to this day nobody can recreate human faces and human expressions. It’ll be a fun ride to watch… but not like Titanic in my opinion.
Buster Keaton’s “THE GENERAL”
Cornel Wilde’s “THE NAKED PREY”
Oliver Hirschbiegel’s “DER UNTERGANG” (In English, “DOWNFALL”)
Julian Schnabel’s “THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY”
You may argue that none of these titles deal with “everyday gestures” because THE GENERAL is a silent film, so naturally all physical movement is exaggerated. THE NAKED PREY is about a man running for his life – not exactly an everyday gesture. Bruno Ganz in DOWNFALL depicts a crazy man’s body language and THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY deals with the absence of body language – neither of which are everyday gestures.
Helpful to you specifically or not – in their own ways, these movies are all testaments to body language in some shape or form.

The opening shot of “Le Samouraï” is one of my favourite shots in all of cinema.
