I think Gilda has some of the best dialogue ever. Does anyone know of any classics that are written in the same manner? Some Audrey Hepburn movies come to mind...
sharei totaly agree, some of the best dialogue ever written
shareTo Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep have some of the best I've ever heard.
"Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's."
Classic film noir's with snappy dialogue:
OUT OF THE PAST
DOUBLE INDEMNITY
SUNSET BOULEVARD
They are all a treasure trove of dialogue.
"I want you to live with me and die with me and everything with me!"
Pretty much anything from writer-directors Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder, and Preston Sturges have great dialogue.
Sweet Smell of Success, Out of the Past, and North By Northwest also contains some of the best dialogue ever.
"Dry your eyes baby, it's out of character."

Audrey Hepburn? Really? I'm astonished. She came too late for snappy patter. Please give some examples, since you bring her up.
Get up, Angel. You look like a Pekingese.
Good noir dialogue: Patricia Hitchcock's lines in 'Strangers On A Train;' Cary Grant's lines in 'Suspicion;' Humphrey Bogart's lines in 'The Maltese Falcon.'
shareI was not that impressed. Watch any Mankiewicz film for example, although that example is outside the noir genre.
But for noir films: Out of The Past, This Gun For Hire and Murder My Sweet all blow this one away for dialogue.
Out Of The Past to me is the greatest of all the noir films.
