The Wire's "Fuck Scene." http://youtu.be/KQbsnSVM1zM Now, I know they're saying "fuck, fuck, fuck me," but it's the non-verbal actions of the scene that matter. This scene would work with ZERO dialogue. But the f-bombs create humor.

Another Pixar, this time from Wall-E: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xciVcXN4X0A And on the other side of cinema aesthetics, Aki Kaurismaki's "The Match Factory Girl" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPOPH26rF2o And somewhere in between, the pool scene from "Rushmore": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA622OwgHCA

Joe, thanks for that Kaurismaki link. Never heard of him or that movie. After watching those 27 seconds I'm going straight to Netflix to see if I can watch the entire thing.

Oh man, he's great. While you're at it, see if you can find Leningrad Cowboys Go America. It's not on Netflix but it's worth looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcovyF8j50g

THE THIRD MAN (1949) directed by Carol Reed written by Graham Greene last scene - Joseph Cotten completely deserves it, but still - OUCH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pV6zRGeeGM

The film Drive does a good job of this. Amini the screenwriter said "Storytelling is about the reaction to dialogue rather than dialogue itself " http://j.mp/nhi7D5

not sure if this counts, but the christening scene from the Godfather.

two "physical" performances that struck me were Arnold in Terminator, and my homeboy Vinnie Jones in Gone in 60 Seconds.

Oh, I've featured that scene before. God, I miss that show.

Hey, some terrific suggestions. Certainly enough to fill a week. Perhaps save up the others and run the same theme again in 6 months, a bi-annual reminder of the power of visual storytelling. Thanks for the recommendations!

A huge section of the movie "The Black Stallion" has silent communication between the boy and the horse. Here's a clip: http://youtu.be/f1ihzkEFwqE It had already been out for quite some time when my son was in middle school, and I enjoyed watching it with him.

Major props to Laura Deerfield for the glorious clips. Le Samourai is a perfect film for this category. If this is revisited, I suggest Bang Bang from The Brothers Bloom, Johnny Depp in Benny & Joon, or the girl who blinks "I Love You" on her eyelids in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
