I love movies. And I watch huge amounts of them. But instead of categorizing movies by their genre, I often do so by the 'noise' they produce. As most films – comedies, thrillers, dramas – are quite balanced in their 'loud' and 'quiet' moments, they would be 'medium volume' in my book. But there are always a couple of extremes: very 'quiet' and very 'loud' movies. Here my favorite ten masterpieces of each category. Like I said, just for the hell of it.

6. Nói Albínói (2003)
7. Nichts Bereuen (2001)
8. New York Waiting (2006)
9. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
