Showdown

A Quiet Place

Best films with limited dialogue

Add a list or tag with showdown:silent

In this chatty world, a wordless story is a baraka. But finding a silent movie in these modern times is like a quest for fire on a naked island. Not all is lost, however: talk-free fantasias and sidewalk stories with very limited dialogue are still being made, somewhere, by mad gods, illusionists and mon oncle! From red turtles to red balloons, this is a duel for the very best films without all the chit-chat. So grab your three-iron, open Dr. Caligari’s cabinet and step away from the city lights of the metropolis, into a quiet place on a silent night where you’ll find real bears, stop-motion sheep and hundreds of beavers having le bal! Less blathering, more body language—the stuff of robot dreams.
