Or movies where the plot is entirely irrelevant. Character and dialogue driven movies.

In no order:

Boyhood
Before Midnight
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Clerks

I wonder if people who dislike this kind of movie dislike them all?

Some notable, some just random on top of my head

King's Speech
Silver Linings Playbook
Burnt
Moonrise Kingdom
Place Beyond the Pines

Most, if not all Linklater movies, but especially the Before series
Baraka
Lost in Translation if it counts

Chungking Express is another one; two vignettes really, but still kind of plotless

Ive always said that. It's why its one of my favorite movies. I like character driven movies.

Any Linklater movie

Life with Father

Yeah I see what you're saying. I would still say they're more dialogue driven than plot. I was thinking of it from the perspective that they all kinda end pretty close to where they start... not a whole lot of story evolution.

Kings speech for example. Comparing the beginning to the end: same characters, same relationships, same setting, same time, etc. only difference, he delivers a speech.

I knew I was thinking of it differently when I saw the other responses. Did I sell you?

Not quite, but I do get where you're coming from.

I think Simon and Garfunkel said it best:

How many plot holes does a movie need before it is considered "plotless"

Step Brothers, there's zero plot, but I still love it.

When a movie ends with the characters even admitting they have no idea what happened, that's the best

A River Runs Through It

Diner

Lost in Translation?

Ha! I just watched this the other day. My dad had all the Cheech and Chong movies on BetaMax when I was a kid and I used to watch them all the time. I've seen Up in Smoke, Next Movie, and Nice Dreams a million times, but I always stop and watch again when I see they are on TV. Love them.

I feel like there's probably less of these sorts of films than people think.

A story can be told in a non-linear way, or from different viewpoints that eventually converge, but that doesn't mean there's no story. It can be an indicator but IMO isn't a defining factor.

Things like Bad Times at the El Royale, most Tarantino films, Crash, Traffic, etc., are non-linear or weirdly interwoven but still have a plot that drives the film forward. I'd put Crash and probably Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as the least story-driven of those.

Just sort of thinking out loud...

I would agree. Even Pulp Fiction has a plot.

I think the purest examples are just about any Linklater movie, or Clerks.

Caddyshack

Roadhouse

There are good guys and bad guys, but no real plot.
