Okay, have my script writing class tomorrow morning...I am suppose to bring in one example of great dialouge and one of really bad dialouge. I have the great one covered...any nominations for the worst?

Great dialouge? Um, I liked alot fo the dialouge in Snatch. Not all that deep, but well timed and creative. That just me.
Bad dialouge, anything from Battlefield Earth. Especially where they send a bunch of humans to an abandoned city to "try to find out what their favorite food is". That always seemed a little odd to me. -
There was a lot in SoulMan!

Good dialogue should be 'Superfly' for its skillful use of jive.
Or 'The Royal Tennenbaums':
Royal - You want to talk some jive with me, Coltrane?
Henry - Did you just call me Coltrane?
Royal - No.One thing, I forgot this last detail: the Biz Markie will always prevail.Comment

um...no...I was thinking about Rae Dawn Chong when tommy chong was done for the drugs thing and she is in the movie.Originally posted by GrimShawn

I just looked it up on imdb...the tag line to that movie was actually:
"Mark needs a scholarship to get into Harvard. There's one more available for a black student. The problem is Mark's not black... Yet." ..lol..yeah, that would happen today.Comment

Does the example of bad dialogue have to come from a movie, or can it be from a TV script? If you can use TV, turn on just about any TV drama for 10 minutes, and you'll have yourself some bona fide crap right there...
For movies, Showgirls would be a good one... can't recall the exact line that made me stand up and walk out on that one (when watching it for free at a friend's house, no less), but I still have the scars from it buried deep in my psyche somewhere...

Soul Man! They just don't make them like that anymore. Rae Dawn Chong, Ayre Gross, James Earl Jones...Fabulous! There's always "Krull" as well. Outstanding in every way!Kaaro

I used the 'milk maids' dialouge sequence in Clerks as an example of good naturalistic dialouge.Originally posted by Aly-Python

No, it can be tv too..I was trying to get some eastenders scripts but couldn't. Yeah..god, Showgirls has to be a goldmine for this. It is only our second class so I am not sure how he would react to swearing but oh well.Originally posted by Quentin

If you were going the Clerks route, why didn't you use Randall's list of porn titles? "I'd like to order one of each of the following?"Originally posted by sarah_webinc

Some of the worst dialouge I have ever heard was in the original Gone in 60 seconds, not the one with Nic Cage, but the original 70's one... man it was horrible!
Also Thou Shall Not Kill Except is pretty damn bad too, it's a Josh Becker film, PUComment

I know you don't need suggestions for the example of great dialogue, but I can't leave a thread about dialogue without mentioning that David Mamet writes just about the best dialogue I've ever heard... especially Glengarry Glen Ross. (And the cast in that one ain't too shabby, either...)

plan 9 from outer space has the worst in everything. dialogue included! just fast forward to the last scene where the alien guy is explaining the solarbaniteSIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
