Ranked. Then chronological order.
Eraserhead!!! Or is that technically the soundtrack?
I'LL NEED TO WATCH IT AGAIN TO SEE!!!
but I still thought INLAND EMPIRE was better in that regard as far as I can remember.
If you want to see my #1 (probably), check out Klimov's Come & See. Watch it with headphones if you can.
WILL DO.
I'm surprised it's not Citizen Kane (is that #2 (probably)?)
I'd have to carefully consider the subject some more to be sure... some others would probably rank ahead of it, including Kusturica's Underground (perhaps #2)...
WE HAVE FOUND A PLACE TO AGREE ON WITH RESPECT TO CITIZEN KANE.
#3 SOUND DESIGN.
Hahaha.
Oh my goodness pigs do fly!
I think La Passion was not played in complete silence. Screenings were accompanied by live music, although Dreyer himself never set music down in stone.
Silence, however, is of course better than Voices of Light
It was Dreyer's wish to not have music played with the film (naturally this isn't generally done, I just thought that that is a great idea). At least that's what I've heard.
