the dialogue. I mean, where there aren't any words...but the scene means more then words, like 'actions speak for words'.

Well, the only movie I can only remember with such a true feeling like that has to be in American History X, where both Danny and Derek ripped the nazi posters/flags (etc..) off their walls and got rid of all of it.

I mean the whole movie speaks life, but this particular scene just stuck out in my mind.

Also, disguarding the voices, the basketball scene symbolized honor, glory, and pride..but just for the wrong reasons.

Have you ever seen Beijing Bicycle? I have seen this twice and I don't know why but I love it. For some reason, the weakest idea for a movie, is one of the coolest I've seen. It was on HBO both times and the things it shows in the movie and the parts that unfold made me keep watching it. At first I laughed, and I still do until I see it again :D If you haven't heard of it, heres the trailer.

I liked Tears of the Sun when the SEALs discuss what they should do about the refugees and Bruce Willis asks them if they would be for helping them to the border and one says "Are we there yet?" Eventhough they speak, it always hit me, the brotherhood I mean, with you till the end you know.

And recently, Man on Fire, where Denzel Washington sacrifices himself to get the little girl back...

Das Boot at the end of the movie when the captain is seeing his sub sinking after all the shit they had to go through to make it to the surface. Never thought i would of felt bad for seeing Nazi's die but that was a sad moment.

Saving Private Ryan. The first two scenes from the cemetary through the D-Day landings. There is little dialogue and if you listen, no music. Spielberg said they did this because he wanted the deafening sounds of the battle to be the only audio.

In "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest" when they bring back Jack Nicholson after the 'surgery' and the chief tries to wake him up and realizes, along with the audience, that they have destroyed Jack's brain. That was too much for words. Great movie, really.
