I'd say "The Rover". It is a more recent entry into this realm of story telling but watching the movie it definitely tells the story through showing and not telling. A major plot line is based around the question of "Why is this man so intent on getting his vehicle back". In it they show the lengths that he goes to and the movie does a good job at illustrating the fact that something, maybe his humanity, is lost. All though in the end you can see that he does demonstrate a connection to that humanity in the relationship he builds with Pattinson's character. The movie is a fairly atmospheric drama.
