Any movies I didn't list that are dialogue heavy? I don't need action, a lot of movement, but I don't necessarily like "Jeanne Dierdman" (or whatever) or movies that are just slow for slow's sake... Just so the critics can call them "art-house", lol

I'm not big on films that are too dialogue heavy. Maybe Mikio Naruse. He's similar to Ozu, though not as formally rigid and his films are a little bleaker and grittier (relatively). Guessing you're familiar with Rohmer also.

Yeah, Ozu has a lot of meaningless chatter.. He is definitely rigid (well, all the "season" titles, "Saturday Morning" was different)... He uses the same exact characters playing the same exact roles in many movies, I can't distinguish the "season" movies..
I've seen at least one of Naruse, "Two in the Shadow" which was ok, 6/10
I do like Rohmer, and have seen a handful of his movies.. My favorite is easily, "The Sign of the Leo", which I gave a 9/10

That's one of the more highly regarded Naruse films and I quite liked it. I've not seen The Sign of Leo. I've seen the six moral tales and the six proverbs. Favorites are Claire's Knee and Boyfriends and Girlfriends.

I like Rohmer, too. I think "Claire's Knee" is my favorite.

I like dialogue-heavy movies, as long as the dialogue is good. For example, (speaking of Rohmer), I couldn't stand the meaningless dialgoue in the movie, "La Collectioneusse", but I loved "The Sign of the Leo". A handful of his "women movies" are decent.
I agree Ozu is rigid. He uses the same characters, playing the same roles.
