Famous Movie Quote
You can’t have a “best dialogue” list without Quentin Tarantino appearing more than once. He’s another master. And, yes, we’re cheating here by including Tarantino’s first two films (that he both wrote and directed) counted as one entry. But how can they not be? They are as equally powerful and outstanding. And they exist within the same universe, so it “kind of” counts as one. Tarantino’s whole resume could be on this list, so consider these two as his personalbest of the best. Tarantino’s d...

You’ll find a common theme within this list — dialogue masters. Most of their screenplays and films contain the best of the best examples of dialogue. And they are ever-consistent in their delivery — even if some of their films aren’t as good as others. Aaron Sorkin is one of those masters of dialogue. He’s arguably the master in most cinephiles’ eyes. And his best screenplay (the film was directed by David Fincher), at least when it comes to dialogue, is from the Oscar-winning script The Soc...
Famous Movie Quote
Most may not have seen this film, but those that have heralded the dialogue-driven scenes written by Jerome Bixby. This is an example of a talking heads film, where nothing much happens beyond characters in one location talking with each other. It could very well have been a stage play with one location and multiple characters, all offering their own take on a single question posed to them. Their conversations drive the compelling concept that Oldman (Get it? Oldman?) could be telling the tru...

Another talking head film, only this one takes place in multiple locations. Written by Lawrence Kasdan and Barbara Benedek, The Big Chill is a story in which each character is going through their own stages of grief and catharsis amidst the collective mourning of their dear friend. We get philosophy and humor. We cry, and we laugh. And the dialogue explores universal themes of friendship, love, lust, and loss. It matches every moment of emotion with levity.
Famous Movie Quote
Screenwriter Diablo Cody captures lightning in a bottle in her dialogue scenes. She managed to formulate a different style of speaking — a style unique to her own voice. The scenes within this film (which won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay) could have been handled with rudimentary and average dialogue. Cody pushed the envelope though by creating Juno’s unique way of speaking, which sounds like beat poetry filled with pop culture, word play and sass. Read More: Diablo Cody Talks ‘Juno’...

Like Juno a decade before it, Lady Bird tells the coming-of-age story of a teenage girl written and directed by Greta Gerwig. While Juno‘s dialogue was eccentric, the dialogue within Lady Birdfocuses more on emotional truth through the eyes of a unique young woman. The exchanges she has with her mother (and others) are kinetic, relatable, and hilarious. Read More: Screenwriting Wisdom from LITTLE WOMEN Writer/Director Greta Gerwig
Famous Movie Quote
Another master of dialogue — David Mamet. Adapted from his own stage play, the dialogue is crisp, kinetic, and realistic/natural. In fact, it is so good that these characters feel more real than others we’ve met in the movies. Each of these salesmen has a different philosophy and confidence level, all of which is communicated by the way they speak, what they say, and how they say it.

Famous Movie Quote
The first installment of a trilogy of films that focused on the interactions between the same two characters. Yes, another talking heads film. Writer/director Richard Linklater excels at creating entertaining conversations that draw us in, much like he did with a good choice for honorable mention, Dazed and Confused. The dialogue feels real and natural as they interrupt each other, and as we see their trains of thought go down different paths through different tangents, leading to new convers...
Famous Movie Quote
Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the dialogue in this film is a master lesson in character exploration. Will and Sean learn from one another. They are two intellectuals from the same brutal streets of Southie and are constantly sparring. Sean wants Will to open up. Will wants to do nothing of the sort. But somehow through the dialogue, they manage to become friends. And they also manage to help each other in life. It doesn’t stop there either. Will uses his intellect to spar with words,...
Famous Movie Quote
Joel and Ethan Coen are two of the most talented screenwriters of all time in part thanks to their hilariously acerbic wit. We could list every Coen Brothers movie here, but I’m trying to follow the rules here (aside from Tarantino) and include arguably their best example of great movie dialogue with Fargo. The film features grizzly murders and insatiable greed, but the Coens manage to create something truly unique by juxtaposing the darkness with the innocence of the Midwest. This is represe...
