I've been noticing a lot recently, maybe it's just because I've been watching lots of Japanese movies. (esp. Kurosawa, and many animations)

When they are realy effective they reall make for an intenst moments. Lets either talk about this technique or list some good examples:

Elephant
Kurosawa's Ran
Jinroh

Not so much the "really dramatic part" of the film, but I've always liked how the sound drops out at the end of "Blow-Up" and the mimes show up.

does the skipping record in 8mm count?

Oh yes, and whenever Esther steps on the stage.

Would Ghost in the Shell count when the Maj. is about to blink out and Bateau is wordlessly screaming at her? Cos Kusanagi does say one word, but the conceit here is actually worked into the story itself.
