Hi all An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I can use your help: I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets, dialogue, voiceover, etc. I've come up with Bob Dylan's lyric cards for Subterranean Homesick Blues in "Don't Look Back"; the "meta" credits from the movie Stranger Than Fiction; Buster Keaton in Samuel Beckett's "Film"(1965); and--oddly enough--two Steve Martin Films (LA Story's sentient freeway sign and C.D.

Obviously various theatrical adaptations particularly Pinter & Stoppard would have some unusual use of language.
