Though some people have difficulty imagining movies without spoken dialogue, the first few decades of film did extremely well without it, to the point that many filmmakers dismissed talkies as a gimmicky passing fad or a perversion of real cinema. To be honest, they initially had a point considering that film sound recording techniques were very crude in the beginning, making for some really stiffly staged and dull films until the combined talents of artists and technicians solved the problems. Regardless, perhaps it isn't such a shock to learn that, long after the end of the silent film era, many filmmakers and writers still think that silence is, well, golden.
Although, it should be noted that silent films were never actually silent; they were always accompanied with live music in theatres and this music scored every scene and emotional point of the film, often against the director's intentions for a patch of sound-free action (no dialogue or no music and effects). Josef von Sternberg, director of silent classics and a great deal of important sound films, noted that it was only with sound that he was able to put long stretches into his films without dialogue and music. The real reason directors and other technicians were hesitant to try sound, aside from an instinctive refusal to change their routine, is the fact that the arrival of sound led to film craftsmanship taking a step back. By the end of the silent era, films like Sunrise and The Crowd as well as comedies by Buster Keaton showed amazing technical facility in cutting, editing, and camera techniques, benefiting greatly from the lightweight cameras that prevailed at the end of the '20s. The arrival of sound and theater talent as well as the primitive recording equipment led many early films to be what Alfred Hitchcock once dismissed as "pictures of people talking" or filmed theatre with little in way of inventive camera techniques or creative lighting used to tell a story cinematically. Sound equipment also led to heavier cameras which made it harder, for some time, to achieve the Tracking Shot and other impressive technical feats. Though, many film-makers adapted quickly and worked hard to achieve solutions.
Moreover, if the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is to be believed, shouldn't a whole series of pictures be able to speak for themselves?
Nowadays, however, in the presence of so many audible (or legible) artworks, silence has become an innovation itself, often used to stimulate the viewer's imagination or add a vaguely brooding "cinematic" tone to the work. In television and films, running something "silent" usually means removing most or all of the dialogue, leaving just the music and/or sound effects; a few pieces remove even these. Some comics are likewise run completely silent with no dialogue, captions, or sound effects; in extreme cases, they may not even include any written words (e.g., if someone hands a character a note to read, we're not shown what it says). Others selectively cut the dialogue and/or captions while leaving sound effects present in order to have them tell the story.
Sister Trope of Deliberately Monochrome. Frequently used in surrealist films, and is sometimes combined with filmmaking techniques from the silent era for Retraux effect. No-Dialogue Episode is a popular form of Formula-Breaking Episode. Sometimes leads to Filling the Silence in adaptations. When used for horror, it overlaps with Nothing Is Scarier. When used temporarily to add poignancy to a dramatic scene, it's a Moment of Silence. When the Background Music goes quiet to add emphasis or weight, see Sudden Soundtrack Stop. See also Mime and Music-Only Cartoon for animated works that feature little or no spoken dialogue.
Contrast Dead Air, for situations where silence is absolutely not to be desired, and Speech-Centric Work.

The heist itself in Grand Slam is conducted in almost total silence. As a Shout-Out to Rififi, Gregg and Agostino crack the safe in total silence—they cannot speak because of the sound sensitive security system—and, because of the soundproof corridor, the only incidental sound is the faint noise of their tools. Weiss panicked run through the sewers has the background noise of the Carnival, but no dialogue because he is alone. Dialogue only returns when the action switches back Mary Ann's apartment.

The Artist is a 2011 silent black and white drama about a romance of two actors respectively falling and rising in Hollywood's difficult transition to sound. Subverted in that the lead character realizes that he feels trapped in silence and earns his happy ending when his love shows him that he has the talent to succeed when he accepts the reality of sound films.

Quite a few classic cartoons (such as Tom and Jerry and The Pink Panther) features non-verbal characters, focusing on visual gags and slapstick humor. See the Mime and Music-Only Cartoon page. The original One Froggy Evening is another famous classic cartoon example. It's considered the Citizen Kane of animated shorts.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a great example; the film runs ten minutes before anybody speaks. Also, in the final climactic three way duel, there is no dialogue at all for over five minutes, and the film relies entirely on the score, and closeups of the three main character's faces, each trying decide whether to move first. It is widely considered to be one of the most dramatic and tense moments in film history.

Silent films hung around in China for several years after the first Chinese talking films were produced, due to the language barrier with English talking films and the language barrier between Mandarin and other Chinese languages. The Goddess, about a Shanghai prostitute, was released in 1934, four full years after the first Chinese sound film (Sing Song Girl Red Peony).

Serial Experiments Lain is another series that makes pretty good use of this trope. While no episode uses it quite to the same extent as the first episode of Texhnolyze, which was also made by Yoshitoshi ABe, throughout its 13-episode run, there are at least several points where they go up to several minutes with little to no dialogue. This includes montages of Lain simply walking to school or around her house, and to increase the effect, the former are only accompanied by the sound of humming power lines.

The original Mr. Bean series is famous for its lack of dialogue. Not so with Bean or its Animated Adaptation.
Mr Beans Holiday was much more in keeping with this style. Which style works best in movie form is up for debate.
Mr. Bean was inspired partly by acclaimed French comic Jacques Tati's Monsieur Hulot films.

The stories of Fifteen Minds are all completely wordless webcomics. There is no written language present in the comics, whether in the art or as dialogue, narration, or sounds, save for occasional out-of-universe "THE END" or title panels. This design choice deliberately leaves a lot of the stories' circumstances up to interpretation, and keeps the focus on the art and events. The artist doesn't generally say much at all about their comics, either.

The LEGO Adaptation Game series (up to Lego Batman 2) uses no dialogue in cutscenes. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, while normally also using extensive voice acting, brings this back as a toggled feature called "Mumble Mode".

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon: To really hammer down the lonely atmosphere of the game, most of the game is spent silent, with no BGM and no one to talk to. Becuase the game is lauded for its emotional and beautiful music, the tearjerking effect when said soundtrack is actually used has much more impact.

In the Season 5 finale of Rick and Morty, "Rickmurai Jack", Morty's trust in Rick shaken worse than ever before, and he demands answers repeatedly until Rick exasperatedly offers to let Morty see his memory scan that he stole back from Evil Morty earlier, which will reveal his "crybaby backstory". Morty immediately does so, and the ensuing flashback is a two-and-a-half-minute montage with no dialogue, only somber music.

As seen above, Calvin and Hobbes is famous for this trope. In one case Bill Watterson ran several consecutive strips silent this way featuring Calvin growing bigger and bigger. In one of his anthologies, he later explained that he wanted to keep doing this for a month and "see how long readers would put up with it." He ultimately decided to stop after two weeks, ending the last strip with a little dialogue as a punchline.

Cowboy Bebop has a lot of long stretches with little to no dialogue, preferring to let the visuals and soundtrack do the talking. A memorable sequence depicts a villain's origin using nothing but sparse electronic music, cold and sterile colors, and shots without much movement, making a remarkable (and terrifying) contrast to the rest of the show's colorful and jazzy style.

Mickey Mouse (2013) has a few episodes where not a single word was spoken, specifically "Yodelburg", "Tokyo Go" and "Pandamonium", and not counting episodes where the dialogue is spoken entirely in a foreign language.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
The classic episode "The Invaders", written by Richard Matheson, has no dialogue save for the final scene. This builds up the Twist Ending, since the final scene has the minuscule "aliens" speaking English, while we never hear the protagonist speak at all—obscuring the fact that she's actually the alien, while the supposed aliens are human astronauts.
The parts of "Once Upon a Time" set in 1890, as a way to differentiate them from the 1960 scenes. Particularly odd to a modern viewer seeing "Very very old film style" segueing to merely "old" to say nothing of how it painted the 4th wall.

In The Dark Knight, when Harvey wakes up from the traumatic events of the previous day, we hear his panicked breathing for a moment, before all sound gets muted save for a soft musical tone slowly growing in intensity. He looks over to his bedside, sees the coin he previously gave to Rachel, reaches for it, and takes hold of it. The he flips it around and sees the burned other side. Rachel is dead. Harvey begins to sob, but after about half a second, he lets out a scream that the audience can't hear, and rips the protective gauze off of the burned side of his face. Two-Face has been born. Only after all of that does normal sound return as the scene changes.

The first episode of Texhnolyze has approximately ten lines of dialogue, all in a couple of scenes coming near the end of the episode after 11 minutes of near silence. While the rest of the series is more talkative, it's not uncommon to have several minutes without spoken dialogue in many episodes. The main protagonist Ichise is an extremely quiet man who often lets others (including Ran, a girl only slightly less silent than him) talk in his stead.

Age of Reptiles contains not a single word. Given that it's set in the Mesozoic and the characters are all dinosaurs, the lack of speech is unsurprising, but there are no sound effects or narration, either.

Fellow MAD alum Antonio Prohías also did this just as a matter of style. While his most well-known series, Spy vs. Spy, is almost completely devoid of sound effects (save for explosions, gunshots, and the odd esoteric animal noise), looking back shows that all of his comics had a dialogue volume ranging from very little to none whatsoever.

The Last Jedi has both sound and score cut out completely during a moment when Vice Admiral Holdo rams her cruiser into First Order Mile-Long Ship Supremacy at lightspeed, cleaving it in two and shredding the First Order's fleet. Though intended to underscore the drama, the silence actually unnerved some moviegoers, to the point that some theaters had to post a disclaimer about the moment being intentional.

One episode of Batman Beyond has a silent segment when he's fighting Shriek. Batman enters a car factory to hide. Shriek responds by tuning out all noises in the area except Batman's footsteps, which he amplifies. The show makers did this because 1) they'd always wanted to do a silent scene and 2) when the noise filter shorts out and Shriek is rendered deaf by the sudden onslaught of amplified noise it's more obvious.

The Triplets of Belleville, which was heavily influenced by silent comedies and classic cartoons, makes prominent usage of music, but is dialogue-free (except for a recorded TV interview of Charles de Gaulle). The lack of need for subtitles or dubbing may have contributed to the film's international popularity.

Part of what makes the Harry Potter fanfic After the Abuse, Part One so bizarre is that there's no dialogue at all- the reader is just told everything that happens. This is not the right way to go when your story consists of an incoherent Random Events Plot.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The final fight between Azula and Zuko has no dialogue. When we cut from one scene to their ongoing fight in the Imperial City, all we see are huge gusts of blue and yellow/red fire being flung through a dark and deserted court. The sound of flames and the accompanying slow, sorrowful music (aptly titled "The Last Agni-Kai") make the scene all the more potent. Even the pre-fight dialogue is very concise, but really, it says everything necessary:

The opening sequence of The Walking Dead episode "Seed" has no dialogue, just ambient noises as unspeaking characters scrounge for supplies at a walker-infested house. It's very effective at conveying just how long they've been doing this, and how badly their scavenging existence has beaten them down.

In one Silver Age Daredevil comic featuring the brilliant artwork of Gene "The Dean of Light and Darkness" Colan, Stan Lee lampshaded this trope with a brief caption at the start praising the artist and stating that sometimes (as in this case) "superfluous words" were unnecessary, and therefore he was going to let the rest of the comic speak for itself.

The final act of "Exodus, Pt. 3", the last episode of the first season of Lost, has no dialogue. Only the musical score is heard during a few flashbacks and the iconic final scene of Jack and Locke staring down the shaft after blowing the hatch open. Season 2's first episode, "Man of Science, Man of Faith", also has no dialogue in its cold open, which at first appears to be an unknown character's flashback, but is actually showing Desmond's morning routine inside the Hatch, ending with a shot looking back up the very same shaft at Jack and Locke, establishing that this is a continuation of the same scene.

The Lion King only features two simple lines of dialogue in its final non-musical scene — the Arc Words "It is time" from Rafiki, and "Remember" from Mufasa. Originally Zazu would've greeted Simba as "your majesty", but the filmmakers agreed the scene worked best with minimal if any dialogue, and cut the line.note It was cut so late, however, that Zazu's mouth still visibly mouths the line in the final product. There was also no dialogue during Simba's presentation (aside from the "Circle of Life" number).
Done again in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride during the final scene of the Pridelander/Outsider union. The only dialogue exchanged during this scene is from Timon and Pumbaa, with Mufasa's ghost giving one final line to Simba himself. Like before, there was no dialogue during Kiara's presentation in the beginning until the end of the "He Lives on You" number.

The first episode of Carnivàle has a beautifully shot sequence, almost five minutes long, of Brother Justin rising from his chair, walking through town (either a single shot or a well edited sequence to give the impression of one) and having a vision in the snow. In all this time, the only dialogue is in the Background Music at the very start of the sequence. This continued in other episodes and is even used in the opening shots several times, most notably in the second episode where the only thing said in several minutes is a meaningful phrase.

Episode I of the Xenosaga trilogy was notable for taking place largely in cavernous, abandoned (except for the occasional monster) areas and having no dungeon or town Background Music, leading to several long segments of the game where the only noises are the character's own footsteps and whatever might be happening in the background around them. The second and third games fix this by having near-constant Background Music playing away in towns and dungeons.

In the short His Wife Is a Hen, nothing is spoken beyond whispers and exclamations. In addition, the short as a whole is lacking in any sound beyond the noise of daily life and a record player.

The opening sequence of Please Murder Me! of Craig Carlson walking along the street, buying the gun, catching a cab, loading the gun, entering his office, and putting the file and the gun in his office desk drawer is done with dialogue. It ends with Craig picking up the microphone and starting to dictate his recording to the district attorney.

Bambi is unsurprisingly light on dialogue, with only about 950 words being spoken in the entire film; much of the movie is completely silent with only music, animal sounds, and the occasional gunshots. A fan analyzed the film and discovered that (not counting the non-diagetic songs and non-speaking voice effects), the film only has around 11 minutes of dialogue total out of its 1:10 runtime. The midquel, however, has much more dialogue.

The silent films of F. W. Murnau are known for using title cards and written exposition very sparingly, letting the actions on screen tell the story visually. Nosferatu, Sunrise and The Last Laugh are notable examples.

Big City Greens: "Quiet Please" becomes unsurprisingly light on dialogue throughout the middle of the episode, upon the Greens getting a warning from the librarian to not make one noise, even talking and whispering, otherwise they'll be banned. It is to the point Tilly suggests the Greens communicate through the use of American Sign Language whenever they need to deliver a message, with almost all of their dialogue coming from their thoughts. The part where Cricket tries to evade the librarian after screaming from stepping on a toy block is two and a half minutes of no dialogue, and if you count the part where they go up the stairs, it would be four to five minutes of no verbal speaking, not counting their thoughts. Even the part between when Tilly teaches sign language and when Bill and Cricket talk at the water fountain is about two to two and a half minutes of no talking, save for grunts, laughs, screams, and sighing. It all goes back to verbal communication when they leave the library in the end.

Discussed in the DVD commentary of How to Train Your Dragon. Some of the people involved in the film thought that the bonding sequence between Toothless and Hiccup would never work, because it was somewhere in the range of three minutes long and right in the middle of the movie. Luckily, the filmmakers insisted and even the skeptics changed their mind when the sequence was finished. The romantic flight scene with Astrid is also an aversion of Filling the Silence. Both moments are instead held up by wonderful animation and John Powell's hypnotizing score.

Yes, it's even been done in music: John Cage's "4'33''". Subverted, in that the idea behind the song is that the ambiance and occasional audience chatter, non-silenced cellphones going off, etc., is not only considered part of the music, it's the music itself.note For this reason, some performances of this piece will actually omit the usual "No Talking or Phones" Warning. This has roots in an experience in a soundproof chamber that Cage had: He expected silence inside of it, only to hear a "high sound", his nervous system, and a "low sound", his heartbeat. Cage then came to the realization that proper silence doesn't exist.

There are no spoken lines in the original edition of the first Metroid Prime game (besides a computer saying, "WARNING: SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED".) The beautiful environments of Talon IV show you the story of the fallen Chozo civilization, and there are plenty of written logs lying around in case you couldn't figure it out yourself. Samus is quiet, but you can tell she's thinking something. A narrator was added at the start of and end of the game in the European/Australian version onward, but other than that, the atmosphere remains the same.

The Force Awakens: Rey's Establishing Character Moment has no dialogue at all until the very end, as we watch her scavenge from a wrecked Star Destroyer, sell the parts for food, and return home to eat dinner all alone, the same as she's been doing for her entire adult life. Without a word from Daisy Ridley, we learn her loneliness, independence, desperation to be part of something greater, and feeling of insignificance against a vast and dangerous universe, shown visually when she puts on a salvaged Rebel flight helmet and watches the stars while sitting in the shadow of the destroyed AT-AT in which she makes her home.

The Mind's Eye is full of this, with most of the sound being music, with sound effects occasionally peppered in. As the series goes on, this is slowly eroded. Exceptions to this trope are listed here.
The first film had no lyrics or words at all, the closest thing being the voice sample "Oh My" in "Technodance".
Beyond The Mind's Eye had slightly more words.
It had a brief Opening Narration "You are now entering a world inside the essence of your imagination. Look within your dreams, they can take you beyond the mind's eye".
The DVD Bonus Content has a vocal version of "Seeds of Life".
"Too Far" has autotuned and chorded female voice singing "Too Far, take it easy, it's alright" exactly seven times. It also features a robotic voice saying "It is too late. You have gone too far" just before the bridge.
"Nothing But Love" plays this straight, then near the end subverts this with a female voice say "I don't want your sculptures, I love you"
The Gate takes it up one more notch, where some songs have full sets of lyrics.
"Armageddon" had Latin lyrics plus two separate voices singing "Armgeddon".
"N.E.O" has guest vocalist Dr. Fiorella Terenzi's lines as Spoken Word in Music, with the only word actually sung being when she repeats "Neo". Thomas Dolby raps "look at it this way: a river of space, a ribbon of time. Like a burial, a river of space, a ribbon of time".
"Valley of The Mind's Eye" starts off with Spoken Word lines in French and has lyrics sung in English.
"Nuvogue" and "Quantum Mechanic" have fully English lyrics with not so much as one foreign word.
Odyssey
"One Dark World" and "Aspen Moon" have lyrics

The Fairy Tail manga has two chapters, "Lone Journey" and its sequel "Lone Journey II", which are both vignettes that 1.) focus on Gildarts during his journey across Earth-land, and 2.) are completely devoid of dialogue bubbles. The Movie also has a long stretch of silence where Natsu and his friends take a leisurely tour through a new city, and two others in the anime where the team travels to Warrod's house before and after completing a mission, focusing mostly on wide landscape shots.

Documentary filmmaker Godfrey Reggio is possibly the contemporary king of this trope, considering that his -qatsi trilogy of films (beginning with 1983's Koyaanisqatsi) are all films with no dialogue in them and the only sound evident being the musical score. One of the -qatsi cinematographers, Ron Fricke, also made his own no-dialogue documentary in the same vein as Reggio's documentaries, 1992's Baraka.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
The "Reef Blower" short was completely wordless aside from the occasional sound effects, and SpongeBob does shout "You!" at one point, but it is shown as a caption.
"Just One Bite" has Squidward dream where he falls in love with a giant krabby patty and has a married life with it, all without any dialogue.
The infamous "A Pal for Gary" gives us the overnight fight between Gary and the beast-turned Puffy Fluffy, complete with no dialogue aside from meows, roars, and the oblivious SpongeBob's sleep-talking.

Both of the 'escaping prisoner' sequences in Chrono Trigger feature minimal dialogue and no Background Music, unless you get into a fight or witness something plot-relevant going on. It's more effective the first time due to Crono being by himself in a dungeon that has almost no living prisoners left in it.

One episode of Dans Une Galaxie Près De Chez Vous has this occur for a significant portion of one scene, as the ship must pass through a neutral zone that forbids Earthlings, without being detected. When the crewmembers must communicate with each other, they use cardboard signs (which is also done when Bob farts). The whole moment stands out all the more, when Serge abruptly changes his personality mode and acts like an opera singer at the worst possible time...

Star Wars Rebels: The Season 2 finale, "Twilight of the Apprentice", plays an ending montage in the last minute or two, being played over the theme of Ahsoka. Effective, because it shows the crew's reaction to Kanan's loss of vision, the chronological end of Ahsoka's story, as well as Vader limping away from the events of the finale and Maul flying off to parts unknown. Also, Ezra is now worthy enough to open a Sith holocron.

Dementia (1955): The film is told without any dialogue, and also no title cards, only the "MYSTERIOUS STABBING" newspaper headline and the words "Father" and "Mother" on the gravestones. The Daughter of Horror re-release somewhat undercut this by adding narration, but the narration is wholly unnecessary.

In Ant-Man, after Scott shrinks down into the Quantum Realm, we get an extended, very trippy sequence of him floating through a kaleidoscope-like dreamscape as he gets smaller and smaller and smaller. After that ends, there is a smash cut to him floating through that space, and it is absolutely dead silent.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron: There are no talking animals in this film aside from a few narration parts from Matt Damon's character. The film had to have the animators pantomime conversations with the horses with their body language and the expression on their faces. The horses just neigh throughout the film. There also are not that many conversation scenes with the human characters.

In Dollicious comics some of the best-regarded stories in the series are completely dialogue-less. They usually focus on characters who rarely use much vocal communication or don't talk at all, like Gnocchi (who is a toddler), Tagliatelle (who is very introverted), or Green Tea (who communicates in sign language). While still rich in hilarious moments, these stories tend to be more heartwarming and focus on characters bonding.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
"Hush" is without dialogue for over 27 minutes straight, nearly two thirds of the episode. It's considered one of the creepier episodes there are and the silence only ups this factor.
"The Body", while still having plenty of dialogue, has absolute no music used in it, giving a more somber tone to the episode.

Tangled:
The Kingdom Dance sequence has only two lines of dialogue (Rapunzel saying "Thank you," to the girls who braided her hair, and a girl placing flowers by a mosaic of the royal family, telling her baby sibling "It's for the lost princess.") and perfectly conveys Rapunzel's excitement and initial clumsiness, along with the growing closeness between her and Eugene without any other dialogue.
The reunion toward the end also shows the anticipation, fear and ultimate joy that Rapunzel's parents feel in being reunited with their daughter again.

Probably Marvel's earliest exploration of the technique was a Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD story by Jim Steranko. Steranko does a complicated battle scene without any dialog or sound effects.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix had the aftermath of Sirius' death completely silent save for the emotional music (which drowns out all other audio), which makes it all the more heartbreaking to watch as Harry lets out of cries of utter anguish while constrained by Lupin. One reason the music was included was that during this part, Daniel Radcliffe reportedly let out a scream so agonizing that the original audio wasn't included in the film.

The Little Mermaid (1989): The scene where Ariel and Eric tour the kingdom has only four lines total coming from Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle. The scene where Ariel mopes on the dock thinking Eric is marrying someone else is also wordless, to compensate with her losing her voice to Ursula.
The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea: The scene of Melody swimming in the ocean and finding her locket only has two short instances of dialogue, the fish saying "Hi, Melody" and the nearby Sebastian's grumbling. Justified as Melody cannot talk underwater, but gains the ability to when she turns into a mermaid.

Fresh Guacamole has no dialogue at all, though considering the minimalist story, it's not like it's needed.

Joshi Kausei or Jyoshikausei is your typical moe schoolgirl manga series. But with no dialogue!

Conan the Barbarian (1982) has a deliberately sparse script to let the exquisite music and cinematography do the talking. A wise move, as most the principal cast were professional bodybuilders, athletes and models without much acting experience (note that James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, and Mako are given the bulk of the expository dialogue).

Gravity Falls: Each episode plays a short clip over the credits to wrap things up or get in another quick gag before it's over. The episode "Not What He Seems" just shows two young boys who resemble Stan and Ford Pines quietly sitting on a swing set, with but the quiet beach breeze for company. Especially effective because of what immediately preceded it.
