I was going to say Pulp Fiction but have been ninja'd several times over. T2 has hilarious lines, if that is what you are going for.

With Death Proof, he had gone too far into "pointless conversations about nothing important that helps the story" wich made the film incredibly tedious, and many dialogues in Kill Bill Vol. 2 felt incredibly dense, especially the Superman Monologue.
And on that note: The Social Network. People say that good dialogue is more like two or more monologues being delivered in between one another, as opposed to two people actually talking and listening. That film has it down to a fucking tee.MorganL4 said:Aaron Sorkin would disagree with you on that..... Look at Charlie Wilson's War or his biggest hit the show West Wing.... If you do it right a conversation can be more engrossing than the biggest most awesome splosion scene in any action film.Imthatguy said:You've gotta beware of losing your audience's attention if you want to go down that path however.
Bah. Beaten to it.Stasisesque said:Also 12 Angry Men
Second for Tarantino, he's just good at it. He has the best casual conversations, he has the best intense conversations. Most of the films are conversation driven anyway, even though his movies can get pretty violent, the focus of the majority of the scenes is the dialogue.Vault101 said:Tarantino DUH

I remember watching Before Sunrise a long time ago. Never saw the sequal and I am curious if the original holds up. They are on my to do list for movies but I was wondering your take on if they still hold up or if they were only good during the time they were released?Juan Regular said:Both Before Sunrise and Sunset have some of the best dialogue you´ll ever hear, so definitely check these too out. And pretty much everything else by Richard Linklater.
Try almost anything by Richard Linklater. Epecially Waking Life and Slacker. Those movies are essentially big series of thoughtful conversations that stick with you. Seriously, check him out.shogunblade said:The long and short of this thread (Of many I plan to type up for this week), is that I am writing a movie, and I need great conversations, to study.
