Midnight Run comes to mind as dialogue that was both natural and good.

So much depends on the actor, though. Midnight Run had DeNiro.

Glengary had great dialogue, but it was as unnatural as can be (deliberately).

Lawrence of Arabia, probably.

Casablanca is pretty damn good too.

Masterful dialogue in Glengarry. The Alec Baldwin Character is an add-in for the screen, though. I don't think he existed in the play.

I will take American Beauty as being up there as far as dialogue. There seems to be a brutal honesty about it. The kind of honesty that a bunch of disillusioned people would have with themselves, maybe each other if they were intimate. Seemed pretty real to me.

This and The Big Lebowski instantly came to mind. Someone said The Princess Bride, which is also a good choice.
