Boy was this ever prescient...

Hmmm... let's see...

Indy's last post: 432 words
Navy's last post: 451 words

Yes, just as I suspected - once again you are projecting your own faults and insecurities onto Indy. Obviously you are self conscious about your tendency to ramble on - boring readers to tears. And who can blame you? This is quite understandable, Navy. Okay before we start, let Dr. Indy go get his notepad. I'm guessing you have a lot more to get off your chest today.

I'm keeping my promise, Curt..... I'm keeping my promise...

Dr. Indy is here - notepad in hand - if you wish to participate as well, Pondy.

Indy, did you drop both posts into a word editor to get a count? Really?

Continued in the special thread...

What a stupid conversation. ( I'm not talking about My Dinner With Andre. )

May I point out if you don't like the conversation - you don't have to participate.

Just sayin'...

I don't?!

Thanks for letting me know that. I really appreciate it.

I call that the Baseball Rule. If it's boring - just ignore it.

An attempt to breathe new life into this thread: Can anyone think of any other good dialogue films?

Have they made Marguerite Duras' book The Square into a movie yet? That would be a great dialogue movie. In the meantime off the top of my head...

12 Angry Men
On Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Capote
Network
Inherit the Wind
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Ice Storm
Broadcast News
Double Indemnity
Reversal of Fortune

That's ten - for me the granddaddy will always be...

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

If the name doesn't strike a bell, it's a documentary profiling Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's marriage.

Had to really look at films with good dialogues in them:

Solaris
Stalker
Rashoman
The Outrage
Dark City
Hakuchi
Meetings with Remarkable Men
The Leopard
Ludwig
Judgement at Nuremberg
Cleo from 5 to 7
The Conversation
Taxi Driver
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
The Yes Men Save the World
Project Nim: The Human Chimp

The last one kind of tongue in cheek, but it brings up a question how come it seems the longest dialogue in film other than MDWA appears in a documentary about a chimp?

Quest for Fire doesn't make the list?

What was the dialogue in that?
