Best scene with no lines?

[DACrowe]

honorable mentions I forgot to mention:

Psycho

Shower scene that can't be posted.

Raging Bull


Seven Brides for Seven Brothers:



There Will Be Blood (kind of cheat, but it works)


Breakfast at Tiffany's


I promise I'll stop with these.

I forgot film was a contest over who's seen the most ****. And yes, I've seen many movies past 10 years ago, they're just not in my recent memory.

Exactly. The Star Wars Opening scene, The Trio scene from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the simultaneous killings from the Godfather Part II, the shower scene from Psycho, ect etc.

4. A Clockwork Orange:

Almost forgot about this one.

4. A Clockwork Orange:

Yeah, I always liked the title of that novel/movie, the protagonist was turned into a 'ClockWork Orange' by the unnatural chemicals put into his system, he had no access to his true personality. Can't really be denied can it Crowe?

The entire opening montage of Up is by far the most beautiful, moving, and heartbreaking series of images and music put together that I've ever seen on film.



Others worth mentioning:

The opening of Disney's Dinosaur.

The first act of WALL-E.

The end of Lost in Translation

Various scenes from various Jim Jarmusch movies... the man is a master of dialogue, but also a master of silence. Dead Man, Broken Flowers

Tarantino classics: Every one of his singularly directed films has at least one scene(or part of a scene) in them that is amazing and totally lacking dialogue. The opening credits in Reservoir dogs, Vic walking out to the car to get gas and coming back inside ignoring the screams, The dance off in Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis returning to his apartment and killing Vincent, Bruce Willis escaping the gimp and then selecting a weapon, etc etc etc.. it goes on and on.

I'll probably get **** for this one, but the scene in the first Transformers where more Transformers start to land. There's a bit of dialogue(Are you the tooth fairy?), but it's by far the best scene in the movie and mostly silent.

Also, my two favorite Scott movies, Blade Runner final cut and Kingdom of Heaven DC, have fairly long stretches without dialogue and they are pretty much perfect films, so go from there.

Transformers is a legitimately good film despite some flaws. It's not The Godfather, or even The Dark Knight, but a good film.

No, it isn't.

 

[Drizzle]

No, it isn't.

Yes, it is.

Thought of another good scene without dialogue:

Almost forgot about this one.

Damn you!

Yes, I ****ing love this moment. The moment when after everything Bruce finally confronts his fear and becomes it. That and the score. Pure brilliance.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Together with the instrumental version of Moon River makes it an unforgettable opening scene.

Most people have already mentioned the ones that comes to mind. But I will post here as soon as I think of something new.

 

[JAK®]

No, it isn't.

You got too caught up in the flaws I guess.

The first act of WALL-E.

Can't believe those two didn't pop into my head.

Indeed. Audrey looked os otherworldly. Both longing and small, but simultaneously elegant and gamine. Plus, the way it is dawn and the city lights are going off as the city wakes up coupled with that haunting music is the defining moment of Hepburn's filmography and sticks with you no matter what.

 

[TheZink]

From the first Jurassic Park, the kitchen scene.

There's only a few lines at the beginning, after that the tension is amazing.

Halloween - Loomis's look of satisfaction of killing Michael and then looking over the balcony seeing Michael is gone...the look on his face always makes me wonder what's going through his mind. He has a good deadpan poker face going but at the same time in his eyes you can see he's thinking "what..the...hell". Then hearing Michael's labored breathing and showing random locations that he could be anywhere...perfect ending.

The Hidden - I'm sure not too many people have seen this very good "B" movie. Another great ending

Spoiler

where the little girl walks into the hospital room where her father just "died". I've never known the true ending since it's left up to the viewer. Some people believe the alien gave his lifeforce to the father to revive him. I've always believed the alien took over her father after he died and his daugher could sense it. No dialogue is said but the look on her face suggests she knows that's not her father.

Scarface - Tony sees Manny and Gina together, loses it and kills his best friend.

Untouchables - Shootout for Capone's bookkeeper.

Untouchables - Ness looking over the ledge contemplating whether to shoot Frank Nitti. I always like how he looks around to see if there are any witnesses in case he does shoot him lol.

The Omen - Robert Thorn cutting Damien's hair searching and finding the 666 birthmark.

that point in Toy Story 3 where they are about to fall into an incinerator and they all give eachother basically the saddest look of all time and join hands.

Oh my. Made my eyes water.

Agreed. I love it. Can't say the same for its sequel though...

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I haven't actually seen this movie (Stalker) but I like the way this scene basically what is just a tunnel with a camera moving slowly seem like it has a lot of tension and importance, making something out of nothing. I don't even know what they after I want too lol.

The whole Oil burst scene in There Will Be Blood.


The opening scene of No Country For Old Men with Bardem's first kill.


The phenomenal 4 minute scene in Dunkurk in Atonement.


All those scenes from 2007. It was a good year for film.

My word it was, all fantastic scenes.

A good one that came to mind is the scene near the end of Children of Men when everyone comes to a complete halt and are astonished when they see Clive Owen and the woman with her newborn child. It's quite possibly one of the most powerful scenes in modern cinema.

Another great one.

But my favourite would have to be the final scene of the Graduate in the bus. Unless Simon and Garfunkle rule it ineligible.

 

[Wefflehouse]

Terrence Malick's films (The Thin Red Line & The New World) have so many character moments without dialogue, characters in nature, characters engaging one another with nothing but gestures and emotions, that it's hard to point out particular scenes--so I thought I'd just name the movies.

 

[ttotheusher]

There's dialogue at the beginning and end of this clip, but so little I don't think it counts. Amazing sequence.

[Thebumwhowalks]

superhero movie wise I like...

The scene in Hancock(theatrical cut), when he wakes up hungover in his trailer as the sun is coming up. It's a quiet moment in the life of the gruff crazy man, the calm before the storm you could say, showing his hidden sensitive side, as he tries to piece himself together physically as well as emotionally each day, looking through the mementos of his past life that he does not remember as he shuffles around his trailer getting ready to face the world and whatever craziness befalls him that day. The music and the way the trailer is shot on the mountaintop as the sun is coming up is beautiful.

and the whole final sequence of Unbreakable, as he goes on his first proper job of rescuing the kids from the orange man.

That scene with the lattern getting swung across the room with the hard shadow cast over Charles Bronson is also pretty awesome. Lots of scenes that actually have very little happening end up being electrifying. Michael Bay tends to do the opposite, so I guess you could argue it's the sign of a good film maker.

The Perfect Storm - Right before the big wave the crew sees sunlight and have a glimmer of hope they're going to survive the hurricane but you can see in Billy's face that he realizes they're just in the eye of the storm and they're not going to make it.
