HE'S THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE

I read Lynn of Reflections in D Minor's post where she answers 5 movie-related questions, and her response to "What is your favorite Action movie?" made me think of this:

I just saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" again with Beloved Wife TNT of Smiling Dynamite, who'd never seen the whole thing before.

Her observation: "Wins the award for the movie where the main character has the least amount of dialogue".

2 Been a while since I've seen either, but I seem to recall Cast Away having limited dialogue. And what about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? I don't believe the Elephant Man talked alot, but I guess Jay and Anthony Hopkins could be the "main characters" of those movis, respectivley. The half-movie/half-documentary "What the $#*& Do We Know?" had a deaf woman as a main character who spoke very little. There's also the Frankenstein monster. No words until the blind man talking to him in Bride of Frankenstein. i'm sure there are others. better examples, but bed.
