A bit of a change of pace from the past few weeks maybe?
I know at least *3* "film" people read this...so I am asking you to please please please please (yes I am begging) take a moment or two and give me some suggestions for films that have *good* (read: Andrew Rudd speak: great) dialogue in them...either between two dynamic characters or throughout with many or one character.
Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Another note...
I still love and miss you all.
And so it is...just like you said it would be......time goes easy on me...most of the time.

i'm thinking...
it'll take awhile...b/c in summer i'm not paid to think...:-)~
of course i'm a huge fan of all the richard linklater films in the dialogue department -- but NOT because its snappy and slick dialogue -- but because of the depth of the conversation & the realism of the dialogue:
Before Sunrise
Suburbia
Waking Life (really philosophy, not dialogue)
Tape
Linda Seger (screenwriting guru) recommends James Brooks as a great dialogue writer... Broadcast News...
Woody Allen -- writes very quirky, but very "realistic" dialogue -- Annie Hall is the classic.
in general -- plays are much better to read for good dialogue than films...in film, the principle is -- if you can say it ANY WAY OTHER THAN DIALOGUE -- do so.
Oh yeah, my other favorite dialogue writer -- who has a quirky combination of realism and heightened storytelling...
Noah Baumbach --
Kicking & Screaming / Mr. Jealousy / (the upcoming) Life Aquatic
