I like indie films, non-English films, still plenty of dialogue going on.Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-71349532480093855322010-10-26T12:37:48.023-04:002010-10-26T12:37:48.023-04:00It helps to film a book as well written as that on...It helps to film a book as well written as that one.

One recent conversation comes to mind, from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Javier Bardem "chatting" with the guy at the filling station about tossing a coin, and you know Bardem is going to kill the guy if the coin comes up wrong. Well written, and one of the most suspenseful scenes in any movie.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-57577978146384331872010-10-26T11:51:05.875-04:002010-10-26T11:51:05.875-04:00Defintely a good one.

There are probably still movies that have conversations in them, but they're not the kind I pay money to see. <br /><br />One of my favorite lines is from <i>Yojimbo</i>. One of the bad guys is bragging how tough he is and says, "Kill me if you can." Our hero with no name gives him fair warning. "It'll hurt," he says. And it does.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-39266305229782224412010-10-25T23:31:30.688-04:002010-10-25T23:31:30.688-04:00I rarely go to the movies anymore.
