> 2001 is that it probably has the smallest amount of dialog of any movie ever, at least among movies

Have you seen any of the films that Philip Glass wrote music for?

Take a look at Koyanniqatsi or Pawaqqatsi. Not sure if there's a single human voice on either.

I went to a concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London many years ago where Glass and his musicians played the music while the film (no sound) was shown on large screens.

Koyanniqatsi has mesmerizing visual's and music and it turned out i knew the guy who mixed some of it, the late Fred Ampel. When i saw his name in the credits I asked him about that and he was very humble and seemed surprised i had the disc.

There are some sampled voices in it but no direct dialogue.

I think the end scene is one of the most moving things i have ever seen.
Keep in mind at launch, the sound is so loud it is lethal for over a mile and the video cameras were in water cooled housings.
What a nice warm fire and what a long fall.
