Movie scenes with little or no dialogue
I'm looking for examples of scenes in films with little or no dialogue - the first few I came up with were the end of The Good The Bad & The Ugly, the end of The Straight Story, and pretty much any scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Arty-type films tend to have a lot of this, but can anyone come up with such scenes from more well-known films, even Hollywood blockbusters?
Cheers,

Yes, it is. Thank you.
A good chunk of the scenes in Cast Away.

The long opening section of 'Wall-E'

Hospital scene from 'Jacob's Ladder'

Numerous scenes from Lynch's 'Eraserhead'
Dreamy/eerie tracking shot through masked orgy.
Cruise stalked by heavy who, eerily, makes no attempt to hide.
Cruise handed letter at mansion gate by another heavy under eerie gaze of security cam.
As we can see, EWS is quite an eerie film.
Based on these suggestions I've been remembering wordless scenes from films that can otherwise be quite scripted - Miles and Maya walking up the stairs to her apartment in Sideways for instance.
or
Predator..again same as above
The scene in Notting Hill where he walks through the market, seasons and scenes changing to mark the passage of time.
Does the scene at the end of Alien, where she's trapped alone in the pod with the Alien, have any dialogue?
The scene where Tippi Hedren takes the bird over to Mitch's house by boat, it's a long and silent scene (in The Birds)

Somewhere
The Illusionist
