  • Sure, we love a good explosion as much as the next person, but what is a movie without a good script? For this list, we’re looking at movie dialogue that brilliantly developed character, advanced the plot, gave light to theme, or did all three at the same time, with a style or flare that had us hooked. From modern masterpieces like "Pulp Fiction", "The Social Network", and "There Will Be Blood" to revered classics like "The Godfather", "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "The Big Lebowski", these movies proved that sometimes a few good words is all you need to hook audiences in. Which movie do you think has the best dialogue? Let us know in the comments below!

    You guys missed the backstory of all that great dialogue in "Casablanca." You mentioned the names of the credited screenwriters but there were several others involved as well. That script was rewritten several times and continued to be rewritten all through shooting. It's a miracle it's any good at all, much more so as great as it turned out.

    Pulp Fiction is the best and always will be but in my opinion I would say Reservoir Dogs has the best dialogue because we never see the heist in the film but the way characters when confronting one another talk about what happened, the details, what they remember, what went wrong, fighting and yelling for the mistakes that they made that we have not seen them do in the film and the performances in the film is what makes the dialogue great in that film.

    I love Twelve Angry Men! One of my favorite movies of all time.

    The Dark Knight! Should’ve been at the least an honorable mention!

    My choice: the brief dialogue between Yossarian and the madame of the brothel in the movie "Catch 22". The film's author (Joseph Heller) is addressing the subject "Paradox".

    The Ten Commandments. That movie's dialogue was genius.

      sorta. sometimes he overindulges in style over substance though like in Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollwyood. Still a great though, but not infalliable
