what do you think is the best script and dialogue in any movie for me it comes to a shortlist between
Raging Bull - "I want you to give me everything youve got. i want you to ****in lay me out
Goodfellas - Why am I funny please tell me what the **** is so funny about me
The Last Boy Scout - Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. You're gonna lose. Smile, you ****
Reservoir Dogs - the dogs barkin at me, I mean its..obvious..its..barkin..at me
Pulp Fiction - Now givin a foot massage and sticking your tounge in the holiest of holies aint the same ****in ball park it aint even the same ****in sport
Casino - You shit kicking, rat stinking horse manure smelling mutha ****a you, you **** me up over their again ill stick you in a hole in the desert
"Night of the Hunter" is defintely up there. I dunno if it's moreso Robert Mitchum's delivery, or just the dialogue itself. However, for dialogue, I'd take into consideration pretty much anything Tarantino. It's just so casual and sharp.
Movies with fave dialogue are: Res Dogs, Big Lebowski, Glengarry Glen Ross (although a play), Being John Malkovich, Pulp Fiction, Napolean Dynamite, Goodfellas, Ragin Bull, Zoolander.
Think Res Dogs might be one of the best ever.

yeah i love Tarantino dialogue its got that razor wit but subtle humor underlining evert line...genuis
Shane Black is also a very good writer as is Martin Scorsese, Nicolas Pileggi and Paul Schrader
Yep, but the little it does have is bloody funny (if you get the vein it's in)...and I can point you in the direction of a great Napolean, Skip and Uncle Rico soundboard if you like as a reminder!!!
Nope, never really considered that one...

I really like all the dialogue in High Fidelity record store.

My friend thought V For Vendetta should get nominated for a new Oscar - Best Dialogue. It definitely gave all the actors rich lines for their performances.

Word. Rushmore is one of my favorite movies. The dialogue is perfect...
Max: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Guy: These are OR scrubs...
Max: O R they?
Doesn't get much better than that. In fact, all of Wes Anderson's movies have great dialogue. Same goes for all the movies by the Coen brothers, before they became shit. Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, Oh, Brother! Where Art Thou? - all great.

This movie has never made me laugh more in a quirky, odd, irreverent way. Reminds me of the show Dead Like Me (fav show ever).
