There will no doubt be lots of suggestions!  Here are my contributions:
The end of All about Eve when the president of Eve's fan club looks at herself in the tripartite mirror while holding Eve's award

In A Soldier's Story when Sgt Waters tells Wilkie about the soldier they murdered in cold blood during WWI - the whole scene almost is a mirror shot

In In Cold Blood when Perry loses himself in daydreams in the mirror in the bus station restroom

In Eve's Bayou when Eve's aunt tells her the story of her marriages - the audience can see the past play out in the mirror

It seems to me that "mirrors" are used throughout the Lord of the Rings
trilogy, sometimes glass mirrors and at other times reflections in
water.  Often it is a time of self-reflection for the character
involved, such as Gollum/Smeagol looking into reflection of himself in
water a number of times, or when Bilbo looks into the swamp and gets
pulled in (though it is not merely his reflection that pulls him in).

The climactic scene All About Eve with young Phoebe in front of a three-way
mirror, seemingly reflected to infinity (a great analysis in Richard
Corber's Cold War Femme) immediately comes to mind. Though I haven't seen
it yet (dying to) The Artist trailer shows the main character's reflected
body transposed upon a tuxedo in a shop window in a reference to his former
fame.

As (almost ) a rule, mirrors are "meaning making " in most of Joseph Losey's 
films, from "The Servant" to "Mr.Klein".

Great subject. Film noir in general is a good place to start …
