An intriguing historical lesson in sound design! Thank you Dane. I'm so curious about Piaffe now!

Thanks for putting together this intriguing list. When I saw your headline, the two films that came to mind immediately were The Conversation and The Lives of Others, though I wonder how much of that was about the subjects rather than the techniques. It seems that the tendency is often to make sound 'forgettable'—at least with major films—so that it is effective without being noticed. But it is a remarkable tool when it is part of the story.
