The first season of Smallville was excellent in this regard - there were lots of comments and statements that had one meaning to one character, but carried a second meaning to other characters (and the audience, who is also "in the know".)
And I love the "You're not Superman" line in Spiderman II. That was great.
Yes! Smallville is one of my favorite shows, the first season definitely being my favorite. Btw, Aunt May's line to Peter was actually in Spider-Man I.
An great Star Wars example of this would be in TPM, when Qui-Gon and Anakin discuss his lightsaber:
Anakin: You're a Jedi knight, aren't you?
Qui-Gon: What makes you think that?
Anakin: I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.
Qui-Gon: Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him.
Anakin: I don't think so; no one can kill a Jedi!
Qui-Gon: I wish that were so.
This is some of my favorite SW dialogue. Here we have Anakin, future slaugterer of Jedi, insisting to Qui-Gon that Jedi are invincible. Qui-Gon, the only Jedi to die in the film, sadly informs him that it isn't so.
