Dialogue... keepin it real

Dialogue is one of the most important aspects of creating a movie everyone will remember watching. If the dialogue is not genuine and does not reflect the way society interacts with each other it is utterly useless. I feel like the majority of films fall into this category. People remember and memorize for that matter, word for word, great dialogue. Horror especially lacks the in depth human interactions that become memorable and worth quoting. Army of Darkness, has some amazing one liners, American Psycho, Hellraiser, and even Scream provides some memorable dialogue, quotable pieces of art that will live on in horror culture.

  1. Hey you know what I saw on AMC last night? The Psycho remake with Vince Vaughn. There is actually some very good interactions with William H. Macy and Vince Vaughn in it (and just Vince Vaughn's akward character in general), if you haven't seen it in a while I'd consider a refresher. Though I must confess, I've never seen the original Psycho.
