"Seven" has a great intellectual-montage-sequence,
where it cross-cuts between Morgan Freeman and Brad
Pitt investigating in their own particular way.
Differences in camera angles, movement, colour, edits,
POV shots and shot size create a great intellectual
montage.
"Amadeus" uses a similar cross-cutting sequence at the
very beginning (Salieri being institutionalised cut
with young people dancing).
Documentaries and commercials rely heavily on montage
to create meanings in short time frames. Michael Moore
uses a lot of dialectical montage in his films for
irony and "manipulation" (I call it manipulation
because of the subtle way he juxtaposes images, whole
scenes and sounds to reinforce his message).
You can also have dialectic montage with sound and
image. Again, Michael Moore uses a lot of counterpoint
sound and music. "La Vie en Rose" has a great "sound
montage" sequence where Edith Piaf has her first
public appearance but instead of her singing we hear
the non-diegetic soundtrack.
"Run Lola Run" is full of montage (literal, metaphoric
and symbolic).
