What do you prefer in movies, instrumental music or actual spoken word?
I prefer instrumental and I feel it affects the mood of a movie in leaps and bounds.

“I'll see your heart ... Instrumental by leaps and bounds.
It conveys something that the spoken (or sung for that matter) could never encapsulate.
Think of all the horror movies you've ever watched. Violins being played pizzicato to heighten tension ... it's just the way it goes. … and I'll raise you mine”

I think it depends on the scene and what the mood is supposed to be.

I only saw '28 days later' a few weeks ago, and I thought that Godspeed's instrumental awesomeness fitted very well.
Though it does depend on the movie. In 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' however, it does not matter about the spoken lyrics. The scenes are strong enough in themselves.

I definately prefer insturmental music in movies. However, depending on the movie, music with actual bands (the best example I think of is Eurotrip) might be better suited. But for something like Pride & Prejudice, there's no way they could have gotten away with bands and lyrics.
I also enjoy listening to insturmental soundtracks. Some of the ones that I have are:
Lord of the Rings (1 and 2)
The DaVinci Code
Pirates of the Caribbean
Pride & Prejudice

I say instrumental because it only adds to the scene, where some songs with singing take away and distract you from the scene.

if you jump
I personally think it depends on the scene.
Like if there are various shots of an event and noone is talking,
Then you should put in music+lyrics
Unless there is a shot where the person is in deep thought and he/she is not talking about something then yeah thats when you put instrumental.
I think I would prefer instrumental when something is happening like when the actors/actresses talk they shouldnt put an instrumental song too loud though, just enough to make it noticable. You still want to hear what they are saying.
So it really depends, its really hard to say.
There are various situations I could think of but, too lazy to type them all.
i jump.

I think they're both great, and often times it depends on how it is used, because the right song with the right moment is what creates the sparks. For example, a fast paced instrumental in a horror scene makes me sit on the edge of my seat. And there are very few instances where a song with words can create the same suspense.
But in a great display of love, I somewhat prefer a human singing. Like Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. I guess I sort of feel that later I can listen to that song and remember the emotion conveyed whereas if that song was just an instrumental, it wouldn't have the same impact.

I think it depends. I prefer instrumental with fantasy and historical films, but with films set in modern day, spoken music tends to convey the mood of the scene much better.
