Well, with a minimum of dialogue. Not a word is spoken about Miranda, other than she’s on her way. Over the next minute plus, nary a word is spoken but the action of the scene speaks volumes about Miranda’s character and the type of working environment they have. It’s great storytelling without dialogue.

Lawrence of Arabia is the obvious choice, but his acting in The Lion in Winter was superior. Plus, this is some beautiful writing.

I would like to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, by showing my favorite scene from Gettysburg, my favorite Civil War film.
