What are the best movies that are heavy on dialogue?
 

What movies do you like that feature mostly talking, and not much more? Maybe there was something about the conversing that held your interest: thought-provoking, funny, intellectual, snappy, witty? Hurly Burly is one I can think of to get things started. Perhaps not an example of a top one in this category.

There is more, but these are dialogue-heavy, and the dialogue is terrific.

Elmer Gantry
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Casablanca
One, Two, Three
Sunset Blvd.
Heaven Can Wait (1943)
The Front Page/His Girl Friday
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Pygmalion
Some Like It Hot

I could list hundreds more, but that makes it no fun for everybody else.

Reservoir Dogs
Glengarry Glen Ross
Coffee and Cigarettes
12 Angry Men
Dr. Strangelove
In Bruges

12 Angry Men......Glengarry..........Virginia Woolf, etc.. Excellent textbook examples. Thanks for the listing. You now, it really says something when a straight-dialogue film leaves you just as fresh at the end of the movie.

His Girl Friday is my top choice for 'snappy' dialogue-driven film.

My Dinner with Andre

One of my favorites of late is In the Loop. It's witty and non-stop and one of those rare treats where paying attention leads to more laughs. Just a fun film in general.

Have you ever seen Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister? I guess it's an 80's version but funnier... Scrap that, funny. :D Either way, my guess is that you'd like it.

It also illustrate brilliantly the old saying; "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

Could come up with a lot if I thought about it, but off the top of my head I'd say 12 Angry Men and The Breakfast Club.

I don't think I could take movie opinions seriously from anybody who hasn't seen it.
