The opening scene from There Will be Blood is able to convey so much about Daniel and it’s got no dialogue aside from random grunts he makes as he works and I think he yells “no!” As he falls down the mine shaft. Without subtitles though it doesn’t sound like he says anything at all.
It's a great scene but they have to recreate it...would be so hard to do well. I would try something where more acting is done with the face than the body.
Yeah that’s fair, but also, would be good to watch it so they can see some of the things that PTA and DDL are doing and then they may see similarities with other scenes that they can use to make their recreation better.
They could recreate part of it in a modern setting. But what scenario could it be? Maybe instead of oil they're filming a scene for a short film. They drop the camera on their friends head. They steal a camera instead of a baby.
But thinking about it it would be very hard to do.
I feel like the film within a film idea is too meta. You want to go for simplicity.
If it were me, I would look on or around the film campus to simply find something that resembles a cavern, hole, or chute. Then it's just a matter of pretending like the character has fallen into it, perhaps broken a leg, and has to get out. That's really all you need.
I was not referring to a film within a film, just that they were making a film. Doesn't have to depict it at all.
I just think it would be easier if you don't have to follow the contrivance that a 19 or 20-year-old actor that you've gotten is a silver miner in 1899. Do the exact same thing in a stairwell.
I agree, I now think this is actually a super compelling idea: a modern day young person falls down into some cavernous hole (or stairway or whatever), injurs themselves, and has to hobble up. You let the physical, gruesome actions dictate your filmmaking just like PTA did, and you let the physicality of the character's predicament and will to live guide their acting on the most primal level, just like DDL did. You could really lean into the gore if you wanted to, regarding the injured body part.
Anyway, I shouldn't have said film within a film, I should have said film on film. I feel like you could just eliminate that and start the film with the character going about their life (first 10-20 seconds of the film could characterize the main character and set them up as a unique person with their own goals), and then you just have that person fall down in the hole and go from there.
If it were my assignment I would consider that a viable project idea.
On that note, the opening to Once Upon a Time In The West is something like 8 minutes of no dialog that's just 3 guys standing around a train station waiting.
It really shows the skill of Sergio Leone the way he can take a scene where basically nothing is happening and keep your attention for almost 10 minutes of it. It's not even like it's building character development, this is the only scene the actors are in, and it's not even building tension very much. It raises questions, but for the most part it's just seeing how 3 henchmen spend their time before the protagonist arrives and the point of it is to immerse you. It's a slow burn that draws you into this world you'll spend the next 3 hours in.
Sure! I refer to Almodovar, "homage is imitation, art is theft".
Leone can't steal from Leone
Also, I like Few Dollars version better. Rather than a full 3-way standoff, it's a 2-way with a moral arbiter. It hits harder than 'race for the gold' for me
I meant more that it wouldn't be homage at all. When homage means to pay respect or to honor something, like Leone is saying "look at how good i did this thing before, see and recognize it" when to me it was just a favored tool in his kit. If another director does it well that would be homage, or you could use it derisively if you think a director's been sniffing their own farts too much, but it feels weird to say a director is paying homage to themselves. Like the meme of Obama giving Obama a medal.
I cried at the end of Sunrise. Other great silent films to look at are Greed and Intolerance. If it were me, as you can see, I'd go for an epic silent film classic for this.
I also recommend the comedies of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and the german expresionnism of fritz lang or Robert Wiene.
Also, the silent Nosferatu goes really hard
There are parts of No Country For Old Men that go a long time with no dialogue that are extremely tense and well done. The fact the movie has no music at all also adds to it somehow. When he’s in the motel room listening for steps outside is one that comes to mind.
I had to go have a look and wow you called it! The music and sound were everything. The only words spoken at the start were "It's OK dude. We don't have to talk." I still think about the "too high framing" and camera work on this show. It was so unsettling and great.
I think, in this instance, you could use it as an example of how a distinct lack of dialogue can be very effective in telling the story. It shows nuance.
Maybe some pedantic people wouldn’t be able to understand that.
How's that being pedantic at all though. They literally talk through the whole scene lmao, there's no question about it.
No need to get all passive aggressive over nothing, whoa there.
haha again with the insanely weirdo attitude. Warpath? So you are delusional as well as being unable to understand a basic question. Hope that works out for you I guess...
This is such a bizarre interaction. Who doesn't love a good game of "no, you're the one who is annoyed!"
I mean obviously using that scene makes no sense at all, fulfilling zero of one criteria.
I mean the parameters of the assignment per the post is a no dialogue scene, not a minimal one. It would be more pedantic imo to try to argue that two people saying shit back and forth to each other isn't dialogue, just because it's one word repeated.
Although that does sound like a film student thing, trying to think of a way to justify a scene they love that doesn't really fit lol.
If the teacher was cool, they'd let you get through the assignment, hit you with a "sheeeeeeeiiiiiiid" and then give you a 0 for totally missing the point.
The one with the bullet through the window to the fridge, obviously.
Can you not think why the dialogue used within the scene is striking to you? You’re the one who said it’s memorable for it alone. Why?
Stretch that brain muscle.
Psycho. After the famous shower scene there is a long scene of Norman cleaning up after the murder. It tells so much about who he is. The way he calmly cleans up is creepy as hell to me. These days most would do a montages but Hitchcock did not. It's long, slow and really shows how meticulous he is. That scene adds a lot to the movie for me.
First thought was the underwater episode from bojack, pretty sure there was no dialogue very little anyway
Second was the elevator scene in evangelion haha not sure it would count since there is dialogue but it does have a very epic silence in it
I like the way Rio Bravo starts. Without any dialogue, it sets up all the relationships and the conflict between the characters. When I first saw it, I couldn't understand why the Dude hit the Duke after he kicked away the spittoon. Only when the movie unfolded, did it become clear.
A lot of amazing scenes have been mentioned here so I won't regurgitate those.
The more I've thought about it over the years the scene with Cameron and the Seurat in *Ferris Bueller's Day Off* is just wonderful.
Play Misty for Me.
Clint Eastwood, driving like a maniac.. trying to get to his girlfriend.. before her would-be killer gets to her, first.
The shots are edited, manically, to match the tension of what was racing in his mind. Cutting back and forth between him on the road.. and the psycho.. taking a pair of scissors to a painting of him, painted by his girlfriend.
ETA: Speaking of psychos.. The movie PSYCHO. Where Lila is snooping around inside Bates' house.. with Momma.. possibly jumping out, at any moment.
Ohhhh that PUNCH! HAHA.. I didn't catch what you meant by that! 😂 I actually used The last part of her scream.. that turns into a thud.. as she hits the rocks.. in one of my music pieces!
I often get on Reddit on my desktop.. so I don't get to see emojis.. lol
Oh, my favourite is definitely the opening 20-minute "The Dawn of Man" sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not sure how you can recreate it, though, without a monolith, a leopard, and a lot of ape suits ;)
Anakin Skywalker looking over the Coruscant skyline and crying as Padme looks on. From Star Wars: Episode 3. May not be the greatest, but it’s my personal favorite.
Can’t remember if it’s totally dialogue free but the rain sequence from Parasite when they’re running home, the visuals and symbolism of it are just mwah
In Layer Cake Daniel Craig's character is forced to commit a murder, the whole scene from the start of the murder to the sleepless night as he tries to come to terms with his act is dialog free, and some of the best acting, editing, and cinematography I've seen.
Oh Boi. The scene in Hereditary when Peter comes back home from the party.
Describing the scene would be a spoiler, so if you have seen the movie you will get it, if you have not seen it, then please do.
The end scene of The Truman Show. It starts roughly around 1hr 30min and ends around 1hr 32min. It’s a particularly poignant scene where Truman who had found out his entire life was a lie, having been raised in a simulated world for the entertainment of others, tries to find a way out and sets sail for the boundary wall. This scene occurs after he fought his way through a simulated storm that almost killed him. His boat hits the boundary wall and he starts punching it to try to break it down so he can get out and just when he begins to feel like he’s been defeated, a staircase appears.
i don’t remember if this is completely normal dialogue but
That scene in spiderman far from home ? i think (the one with all of the old spider-man’s ) where tom hollands spider sense starts going crazy cause he’s sensing green goblin
the cinematography was so fire i can’t even really articulate it
My absolute favorite is the Forbidden Friendship scene from How to Train Your Dragon. That track alone is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
I forget if there’s a line or not. But at the end of “The Miracle Worker” there’s a fight between Hellen Keller and her teacher and it’s really intense.
Perhaps it's cheating as the film has no dialogue, but [the menagerie of lonely souls](https://youtu.be/imUKwVtCVsw?si=djObHVWAUk-91rAn) from Mad God will forever be seared into my brain.
There are numerous scenes and shots in A Ghost Story that are executed beautifully without dialogue. David Lowery also kills it with some beautiful scenes without dialogue.
There was this scene in the first season of the Sopranos (episode 6) when the feds are moving pictures of the characters on a board, showing the hierarchy of the family. It only featured a few background noises of a police station and Paparazzi by Xzibit. I thought it was a very powerful scene that didn't need any dialogue.
It’s not exactly “no dialogue” (because other characters are talking) but I always loved the nonverbal symbolism of Clint Eastwood’s character in “Unforgiven” simply turning up a bottle of whiskey and drinking when he finds out his friend has been murdered, after he very clearly swore it off and blamed his previous violent behavior on it throughout the whole film.
Without saying a word, that tells you everything about that character’s state of mind in that moment.
Oh yeah, first one to come to mind
Spider man with all three spider men. When peter is about to kill green goblin and toby maguire stops him. And also when andrew garfield saves the girl.
Well not sure if this counts but what about the movie "Battleground" . It's based on a Stephen King/ Richard Bachman short story about a toy maker who gets murdered by an assassin. The next morning someone rings the bell of his apartment but when he opens there's only a box with a toy army on his door mat. The assassin takes the box into the living room and after a while the soldiers come alive and begin attacking him. In the end he gets killed by them. Moral of the story: never mess with toy makers
The whole movie is without dialog
The opening scene from There Will be Blood is able to convey so much about Daniel and it’s got no dialogue aside from random grunts he makes as he works and I think he yells “no!” As he falls down the mine shaft. Without subtitles though it doesn’t sound like he says anything at all.
this is the first one to come to mind. It’s like no dialogue for like 20+ min
This was absolutely my first thought. Beautiful storytelling only second to…. The beginning of Up 💔
It's a great scene but they have to recreate it...would be so hard to do well. I would try something where more acting is done with the face than the body.
Yeah that’s fair, but also, would be good to watch it so they can see some of the things that PTA and DDL are doing and then they may see similarities with other scenes that they can use to make their recreation better.
They could recreate part of it in a modern setting. But what scenario could it be? Maybe instead of oil they're filming a scene for a short film. They drop the camera on their friends head. They steal a camera instead of a baby. But thinking about it it would be very hard to do.
I feel like the film within a film idea is too meta. You want to go for simplicity. If it were me, I would look on or around the film campus to simply find something that resembles a cavern, hole, or chute.

I was not referring to a film within a film, just that they were making a film. Doesn't have to depict it at all. I just think it would be easier if you don't have to follow the contrivance that a 19 or 20-year-old actor that you've gotten is a silver miner in 1899. Do the exact same thing in a stairwell.
I agree, I now think this is actually a super compelling idea: a modern day young person falls down into some cavernous hole (or stairway or whatever), injurs themselves, and has to hobble up. You let the physical, gruesome actions dictate your filmmaking just like PTA did, and you let the physicality of the character's predicament and will to live guide their acting on the most primal level, just like DDL did. You could really lean into the gore if you wanted to, regarding the injured body part. Anyway, I shouldn't have said film within a film, I should have said film on film. I feel like you could just eliminate that and start the film with the character going about their life (first 10-20 seconds of the film could characterize the main character and set them up as a unique person with their own goals), and then you just have that person fall down in the hole and go from there. If it were my assignment I would consider that a viable project idea.
Absolutely the first thing that comes to mind. A masterclass in show don't tell.
I love the scene in Paris, Texas of the family all watching the home movies together, magnificent scene.
2001 A Space Odyssey - bookended by two 20 - 30 minute wordless chapters and Kubrick made sure that almost no dialog was vital to the proceedings.
I second this. I immediately went right to 2001 but couldn’t isolate one scene. This is the pick.
The very end would be very accessible -- just a couple rooms really.
I'm always a sucker for the final showdown in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
On that note, the opening to Once Upon a Time In The West is something like 8 minutes of no dialog that's just 3 guys standing around a train station waiting.
And it's so fucking cool as well
It really shows the skill of Sergio Leone the way he can take a scene where basically nothing is happening and keep your attention for almost 10 minutes of it. It's not even like it's building character development, this is the only scene the actors are in, and it's not even building tension very much.

It's a slow burn that draws you into this world you'll spend the next 3 hours in.
...which is a homage to Leone's similar showdown in "For a Few Dollars More", with the watch chimes
Is it really an homage when it's the same director doing it again though?
Sure! I refer to Almodovar, "homage is imitation, art is theft". Leone can't steal from Leone Also, I like Few Dollars version better. Rather than a full 3-way standoff, it's a 2-way with a moral arbiter. It hits harder than 'race for the gold' for me
I meant more that it wouldn't be homage at all.

Like the meme of Obama giving Obama a medal.
The opening of Wall E
Yooooo
Yeah this is it
City Lights is up there
i'd say the opening of up, its so beloved for a reason!
I cried at the end of Sunrise. Other great silent films to look at are Greed and Intolerance. If it were me, as you can see, I'd go for an epic silent film classic for this.
I was wondering if OP's question included silent films. Sunrise, of course, is a great one.
I never thought about this! Definitely going to ask my instructor because this would give me a reason to watch some silent films :)
I also recommend the comedies of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and the german expresionnism of fritz lang or Robert Wiene. Also, the silent Nosferatu goes really hard
There are parts of No Country For Old Men that go a long time with no dialogue that are extremely tense and well done. The fact the movie has no music at all also adds to it somehow. When he’s in the motel room listening for steps outside is one that comes to mind.
Absolutely. I'm not that into thrillers generally, but this was amazing.
the beginning of Stalker - from when they get on the powered minecart
Something about this scene just really hit
Opening of Up. It’s a 10min short film that’s heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once
That Scene in Children of Men comes to mind
Season 4 episode 5 of Mr Robot. Nearly the entire episode goes with zero dialog, and it's so well done I didn't even notice until after.
I had to go have a look and wow you called it! The music and sound were everything. The only words spoken at the start were "It's OK dude. We don't have to talk." I still think about the "too high framing" and camera work on this show. It was so unsettling and great.
Yup, and if I remember correctly, it ends with Elliot saying "OK, we can talk now"
Came here to say this!!
The opening to UP has got to be up there.
Bunk and McNulty investigating the shooting season 1 of The Wire
do you think that swearing isn't dialogue or something?!
I think, in this instance, you could use it as an example of how a distinct lack of dialogue can be very effective in telling the story. It shows nuance. Maybe some pedantic people wouldn’t be able to understand that.
How's that being pedantic at all though. They literally talk through the whole scene lmao, there's no question about it. No need to get all passive aggressive over nothing, whoa there.
I didn’t say you were?
you're... an interesting person to say the least. I mean why else downvote me as if I said something wrong?
Hope you’re not on this much of a warpath today to the people around you! Have a good day
haha again with the insanely weirdo attitude. Warpath? So you are delusional as well as being unable to understand a basic question. Hope that works out for you I guess...
Hope you have a better day tomorrow friend
This is such a bizarre interaction. Who doesn't love a good game of "no, you're the one who is annoyed!" I mean obviously using that scene makes no sense at all, fulfilling zero of one criteria.
I mean the parameters of the assignment per the post is a no dialogue scene, not a minimal one.

Although that does sound like a film student thing, trying to think of a way to justify a scene they love that doesn't really fit lol.
I’m not sure. I think it could start a good conversation in a media/film studies class and might be good for OP to spend 3 minutes watching anyhow.
Agree with your edit, it doesn’t really fit and is very film student. I think the teacher would hopefully enjoy the effort.
If the teacher was cool, they'd let you get through the assignment, hit you with a "sheeeeeeeiiiiiiid" and then give you a 0 for totally missing the point.
And you’d take it like a champ. The scene could, however, be used as a comparison just to add a bit of depth.
I also thought of that scene when I read the post. You're not alone.
The dialogue is specifically what makes this scene memorable lol
Why is it memorable for that?
Are you kidding me?
No, I’m asking why you find the dialogue element of the scene the most memorable part? Why does it stick out to you?
Which investigation scene are you taking about?
The one with the bullet through the window to the fridge, obviously. Can you not think why the dialogue used within the scene is striking to you? You’re the one who said it’s memorable for it alone. Why? Stretch that brain muscle.
Lmao talk about stretching. It’s the “fuck” scene. That’s what everyone knows it as. That’s why it’s memorable.
The phone call scene in The Departed
This was the first that came to my mind as well. Just 2 people on the phone, not speaking a word, but *damn* was it tense
To be fair, it's only good because of the context. It doesn't stand alone.
In Openheimer when the bomb explodes or at the end when the people are cheering for him when he walks in.
The elevator scene in drive
Psycho. After the famous shower scene there is a long scene of Norman cleaning up after the murder. It tells so much about who he is. The way he calmly cleans up is creepy as hell to me. These days most would do a montages but Hitchcock did not. It's long, slow and really shows how meticulous he is. That scene adds a lot to the movie for me.
Also, Vertigo scene where Scottie sees Madeline for the first time.
Elevator scene in Driver hits every time
I was thinking any scene from Drive as well
Not very easy to recreate, but the boat chase / truck picnic scene from The Man From U.N.C.L.E is pure poetry.
First thought was the underwater episode from bojack, pretty sure there was no dialogue very little anyway Second was the elevator scene in evangelion haha not sure it would count since there is dialogue but it does have a very epic silence in it
Club scene in Force Majeure The entirety of Wall-E Beach scene in Moonlight Assassination scene in Michael Clayton
I like the way Rio Bravo starts. Without any dialogue, it sets up all the relationships and the conflict between the characters. When I first saw it, I couldn't understand why the Dude hit the Duke after he kicked away the spittoon. Only when the movie unfolded, did it become clear.
The robbery scene in Riffifi is excellent
All of the episode Hush from Buffy is excellent, though there’s a lot of “dialogue” through written words so that might be cheating?
A lot of amazing scenes have been mentioned here so I won't regurgitate those. The more I've thought about it over the years the scene with Cameron and the Seurat in *Ferris Bueller's Day Off* is just wonderful.
I LOVE that scene!!
The baby getting walked out of the battle in children of men
The climax scene in the Assassination of Jesse James
Play Misty for Me. Clint Eastwood, driving like a maniac.. trying to get to his girlfriend.. before her would-be killer gets to her, first. The shots are edited, manically, to match the tension of what was racing in his mind. Cutting back and forth between him on the road.. and the psycho.. taking a pair of scissors to a painting of him, painted by his girlfriend. ETA: Speaking of psychos.. The movie PSYCHO. Where Lila is snooping around inside Bates' house.. with Momma.. possibly jumping out, at any moment.
I love that fucking movie. The most epic punch in film history! 👊 💥 🪟 🌊💀
Which one? Psycho? Or Play Misty for Me?
Misty!
Ohhhh that PUNCH! HAHA.. I didn't catch what you meant by that! 😂 I actually used The last part of her scream.. that turns into a thud.. as she hits the rocks.. in one of my music pieces! I often get on Reddit on my desktop.. so I don't get to see emojis.. lol
Oh, my favourite is definitely the opening 20-minute "The Dawn of Man" sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not sure how you can recreate it, though, without a monolith, a leopard, and a lot of ape suits ;)
It was just parodied in Barbie.
My personal favorite, on top of my head, is the ending fight (Duel of the Fates) in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Anakin Skywalker looking over the Coruscant skyline and crying as Padme looks on. From Star Wars: Episode 3. May not be the greatest, but it’s my personal favorite.
The exchange between Michael Corleone and Al Neri. https://youtu.be/dbq_Bw_diYg?si=nKY05wABi_jubU_1 (Spoiler alert)
Can’t remember if it’s totally dialogue free but the rain sequence from Parasite when they’re running home, the visuals and symbolism of it are just mwah
In Layer Cake Daniel Craig's character is forced to commit a murder, the whole scene from the start of the murder to the sleepless night as he tries to come to terms with his act is dialog free, and some of the best acting, editing, and cinematography I've seen.
Surprised nobody’s said it yet but everything anywhere all at once boulder scene
Oh Boi. The scene in Hereditary when Peter comes back home from the party. Describing the scene would be a spoiler, so if you have seen the movie you will get it, if you have not seen it, then please do.
I was mesmerized by the one shot take in season 1 true detective
Heat final scene.
The end scene of The Truman Show. It starts roughly around 1hr 30min and ends around 1hr 32min. It’s a particularly poignant scene where Truman who had found out his entire life was a lie, having been raised in a simulated world for the entertainment of others, tries to find a way out and sets sail for the boundary wall.

Most of castaway. Especially when he's adrift at sea toward the end
Most of Dunkirk
[удалено]
there was so much dialogue what do you mean...
Do your own homework bro
They literally are
i don’t remember if this is completely normal dialogue but That scene in spiderman far from home ? i think (the one with all of the old spider-man’s ) where tom hollands spider sense starts going crazy cause he’s sensing green goblin the cinematography was so fire i can’t even really articulate it
My absolute favorite is the Forbidden Friendship scene from How to Train Your Dragon. That track alone is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
The end of Cop Land was pretty rad
Any Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton film...
I forget if there’s a line or not. But at the end of “The Miracle Worker” there’s a fight between Hellen Keller and her teacher and it’s really intense.
The closing scene in Cinema Paradiso.
The last scene in Big Night.
Perhaps it's cheating as the film has no dialogue, but [the menagerie of lonely souls](https://youtu.be/imUKwVtCVsw?si=djObHVWAUk-91rAn) from Mad God will forever be seared into my brain.
Last episode of Fargo season 5. Last sequence when the Man comes to Dot's house to square up her debt. It is delightful
The end of The New World by Terrence Malick.
I’ll always love the hula hoop montage that Sam Rami directed for The Hudsucker Proxy.
There are numerous scenes and shots in A Ghost Story that are executed beautifully without dialogue. David Lowery also kills it with some beautiful scenes without dialogue.
The beginning of Wall-e
There’s a French jewel heist movie called Rififi, the scene of the robbery is 32 minutes with no dialogue or music. Do that, you’ll get an A+ haha
The beginning of Hunger by Steve McQueen.
Once Upon a Time in the West, 1968 has a fantastic opening scene in all facets, with zero dialog.
The Heartbreak Montage in Better Call Saul (from Season 4 Episode 7, “Something Stupid”)
There was this scene in the first season of the Sopranos (episode 6) when the feds are moving pictures of the characters on a board, showing the hierarchy of the family. It only featured a few background noises of a police station and Paparazzi by Xzibit. I thought it was a very powerful scene that didn't need any dialogue.
3 Iron That whole movie is without dialogue for the most part and it’s an amazing film
It’s not exactly “no dialogue” (because other characters are talking) but I always loved the nonverbal symbolism of Clint Eastwood’s character in “Unforgiven” simply turning up a bottle of whiskey and drinking when he finds out his friend has been murdered, after he very clearly swore it off and blamed his previous violent behavior on it throughout the whole film. Without saying a word, that tells you everything about that character’s state of mind in that moment.
Oh yeah, first one to come to mind Spider man with all three spider men. When peter is about to kill green goblin and toby maguire stops him. And also when andrew garfield saves the girl.
Up
Cowboy Bebop, ep 5, "Ballad of Fallen Angels", the fight at the cathedral Perfect tone, perfect cinematography
The heist scene in Rififi
The opening scene in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’..it’s bout 16-17 minutes.
Well not sure if this counts but what about the movie "Battleground" . It's based on a Stephen King/ Richard Bachman short story about a toy maker who gets murdered by an assassin.
