17) The Station Agent (2003)

In Tom McCarthy's The Station Agent, the socially isolated train enthusiast Fin played by Peter Dinklage, settles into a deserted depot on some backcountry New Jersey reservation. Two unannounced visitors—the chatty vendor of a hot dog wagon named Bobby Cannavale, and Patricia Clarkson playing the shy painter—trouble his longing for isolation. The movie foregoes its traditional dramatic thread in favor of letting the two silent conversations of its central figures play out and give in to a developing sense of friendship.
