Pulp Fiction, 12 Angry Men and of course, JFK.
Never be complete.
Anything done by Quentin Tarantino, because he can write, but he can't direct for sh!t.
shareLolz. He's possibly the best director of all time. What are you talking about? Unless you just hate dialogue. More action action action for you, m i rite?

Carnal Knowledge
The Big Kahuna, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread
Before Sunset and Richard Linklater's movies in general
Squid and a Whale
Flannel Pajamas
Mamet is always full of dialogue:
State & Main
The Spanish Prisoner
American Buffalo
Aaron Sorkin is dialogue heavy too:
A Few Good Men
The American President
For those who really like dialogue, check out the TV series West Wing. Every episode is wall to wall dialogue.
Clerks
All the President's Men
Speaking on Linklater you should check out Tape with Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard and Uma Thurman. The whole movie is dialogue set in a motel room!
Also worth looking into:
The Big Chill
Ordinary People
Your Friends and Neighbors (another LaBute film)
But really, any character driven movie will be fueled by the dialogue. For my money, you can't get any better than those two guys from the last post. Anything written, directed, or scribbled on a cocktail napkin from Mamet or Sorkin is worth a look

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Kicking and Screaming (not the Will Farrell one)
My Dinner With Andre
O second Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf, and also my dinner with Andre.
would also add, MindWalk. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100151/
WIll check out Kicking and Screaming
2001: a space odyssey
shareBascially movies based on plays have the most dialogue. Twelve Angry Men and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof instantly spring to my mind.
I'm here, Mr. Man, I can not tell no lie and I'll be right here 'till the day I die
Sex, Lies, and Videotape
By the way Coolcrowdkid, 2001: A Space Odyssey has very little dialogue.
