Movies You'd still love if you couldn't see them

What would be your favorite movie just to listen to? No visuals at all, just the audio.

Aside from any number of musicals, of course, I'd have to go with Arthur. The dialogue alone would make it worth 'watching', and I've seen it so many times over the years that I'd practically be able to see the visuals anyway.

While it wouldn't be my top pick if I actually thought of it, the first flick that I thought of after reading the topic was Glengarry Glen Ross.

I once listened to Toy Story on a TV station's radio signal, and it was pretty good. I think it helped that I've seen the movie before, but it was still enjoyable.

The Magnificent Seven would work for me. Distinctive voicework from Brynner, McQueen, Bronson, Coburn, Vaughn, Buchcholz, Dexter, Wallach, and the folks who played the farmers. A bunch of great dialogue, and the audio for the gunshots, horses, etc. All topped off by perhaps my favorite film score...featuring the rousing theme from the great Elmer Bernstein.

Many of us that were children in the '70s and early '80s (before VCRs came along) fondly remember audio taping our favorite movies off of the TV (by holding the cassette recorder up to the speaker) and listening to them over and over at our convenience.

Not only have I seen my favorite movie Excalibur close to a hundred times, but I've also heard it another 30 or so.
