We haven’t had a CineFix list in a while; my favorite place for YouTube movie lists. As a “word person” myself, I firmly believe the best films begin with the best scripts. Most of the best scripts rest on the back of great dialogue. CineFix has put together their 10 Best Dialogue Movies of All-Time. The thing that makes CineFix’s lists so intriguing is that they’re not straight top 10 lists. Each rung on their ladder represents a specific aspect of the topic they’re tackling, and unlike some sites, they have a long memory for film and do a great job of comparing classic cinema with recent releases. For example the ten spots in the Best Dialogue of All-Time represent: evoking a place or time, wordplay, subtext, verbal conflict, storytelling, realism, hyper stylized, Non-American English dialogue, banter, and Shakespearean. As usual, I probably would have picked one of their honorable mentions for several spots, and instead of highlighting Kenneth Lonergan as the “up and coming” voice in screenwriting, I’d have highlighted Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, Hell or High Water). It’s still interesting and educational, as always.
