Usually movies which were adapted from plays are dialogue driven. Closer might be a good example. Also courtroom dramas like Witness for the Prosecution are mostly built on dialogue.

I just read through 4 pages of varied opinions to find the final one making the exact point and suggestion I intended making!

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I can't watch it enough, so it follows that I can't push it enough. I'm of course talking about Destination Wedding, with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder who are so good, they're the only ones who do any audible talking. It could be in the dark comedy category as well.

I've read that the dialogue in Le Rayon Vert was mostly (if not almost entirely) improvised*. Perhaps that's why, but it all seems just so efficiently perfect.
*although maybe the lead contested this. it's confusing.
