I found out why I like the movie Drive so much. Aside from the acting skills of Ryan Gosling (who I like more and more), his character and the movie had very minimal dialogue. I've come to appreciative movies lately that make you sit back and exam characters just like if you were watching someone in real life, without the soliloquy or "this is what I'm about to do now" moments. Show us don't tell us.
The Coen bros do this extremely well, especially in No Country for Old Men. There Will Be Blood has some very good scenes with no dialogue (eventhough I didn't care for the movie as a whole).
So guys, what are your favorite movies or characters that have very little dialogue, or even favorite scenes for that matter (like the hotel scenes in No Country, which I find myself always watching when it's on tv)? Can anyone name an Oscar nominated movie with less than a couple hundred spoken words, not counting the Artist?
