Anyone mention Takeshi Kitano's A SCENE AT THE SEA (mid '90s) yet? A
teen surf movie about mutes! And a masterpiece.
Odd variation: Monte Hellman's COCKFIGHTER (1974), where the anti-hero
(Warren Oates) renounces speech throughout his entire grim cockfighting
quest, until the magnificently loopy final scene/final line.
Ferrara's MS .45 (already mentioned) also has this 'final moment of
speech' - in this case, as Zoe Lund dies ('sister!').
