    Dialogue

    After watching Yes, Minister last night, I was trying to think of movies that are great because of their dialogue.

    There are movies famous for their speeches, like Parashakthi or Kattabomman, but that's not quite the same thing.

    There are movies which are famous for their jokes. Something like Thai Maman has similar ambitions to Yes, Minister, but the execution is not nearly anywhere as good.

    The last time I rewound to listen to dialogue again, it was a comedy track with MS Bhaskar as a poetry-quoting bachelor. (How often does anyone not Bharatiar get quoted?)

    good thread - i wanted to start it for a long time....we can start a poll for greatest dialogue writers too...

    my candidates:
    maniratnam (short circuiting long sequences style)
    k.bagayraj (for tangential yet hard-hitting style)
    sujata (because he is sujata)
    _________

    I meant to mention Crazy Mohan myself -- funny but narrow in range.

    What powerful dialogues did Saamy have? It's been a while since I saw it but I remember it as a long advertisement for Vikram's physique rather than a movie notable for dialogue.

    Visu in his self-directed films, the early days, when not self indulgent.

    Also, Visu the scriptwriter for Tillu Mullu, Netrikann, Mr. Bharath & Nallavanukku Nallavan.
