There's good dialogue and there's good natural-sounding dialogue. Everything listed so far doesn't really sound natural. This doesn't mean it doesn't sound great or seem natural. One of the amazing things about Pulp Fiction is that everything sounds natural but people are all actually giving a series of small speeches.

As far as natural dialogue, I don't think any movie is better than Mean Streets.

All the Coen brothers movies. I put 'Miller's Crossing' at #2 and 'O, Brother, Where Art Thou' at #1.

Interesting point about "good" versus "natural."

Don't you think Glengarry Glen Ross counts as natural dialogue though? I mean that is a totally believable situation with real-life characters.

Now, don[t get me wrong, this is one of my favorite rants ever, delivered by my favorite actor ever, but I don't think its something someone would say in real life :P

I think Glengarry has amazing dialogue, but more than that, incredible acting. Great dialogue in Good Will Hunting in my opinion, that's high up there for the best. Pulp Fiction, I agree with that too.
