Favorite Movie Monolgue or Speech

[docgoblin]

<p>I was watching &quot;Any Given Sunday&quot; recently and I realized that the Speech Pacino gives to his team before the big game is awesome. It is so motivating. I'd go out and give 110% after hearing that. </p><p>It got me to thinking about what other great movie monologues and speeches there are. The other one that immediately comes to mind is Henry Fonda talking to his mom at the end of &quot;Grapes Of Wrath.&quot; It's a great monologue, delivered with such emotion.</p><p>Can anyone remember other great movie speeches or monologues?</p><p>Sorry in advance if this topic has been discussed before. I couldn't find it though. </p>

Pacino's speech at the end of Scent of a Woman is awesome.

Braveheart- &quot;Ay they can take our land, and they can take our lives but they can't take our Freedom&quot; (something like that)<br />

[Drunky McBetidont]

kinda split between the dennis hopper scene with christopher walken in true romance and V's long monologue in V for Vendetta.

[Poochie]

<p>One that always comes to mind is Kevin Spacey's speech in Seven when they are riding out to the desert to find <em>what's in the box?!?!?!?</em></p><p><img src="http://www.movieactors.com/freezes1/Seven44.jpeg" border="0" width="266" height="115" /></p>

<p>Two more classics I just thought of:</p><p>Jimmy Stewart blasts the other Senators just before passing out during his Fillibuster in &quot;Mr Smith Goes To Washington&quot; and Michael Douglas with his fantastic Greed speech in &quot;Wall Street.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

[BoondockSaint]

Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era... The kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something, maybe not, in the long run. But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time in the world. Whatever it meant. There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn&rsquo;t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

[Swings, pulverizes another flower] That's- Oh, he got all of that one! He's gotta be pleased with that! The crowd is just on its feet here. He's a Cinderella boy. Tears in his eyes, I guess, as he lines up this last shot. He's got about 195 yards left, and he's got a, looks like he's got about an 8 iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent...

<p>Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves.

I could have taken Wilson apart! So what happens, he gets the title shot<br />outdoors in the ball park... and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville!<br />You was my brother, Charley.

You should've taken care of me a little so I wouldn't have to take dives for short-end money.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />CHARLIE: I had some bets down for you.

I could have been a<br />contender. I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum ...which is what I am. <br /><br />Let's face it...<br />...It was you, Charley!</p><p><font size="3"><em><strong>But this one from Father Barry in the ship's hold may be better (I edited out the other actor's minor dialogue in between) :</strong></em></font></p><p>&nbsp;I came down here to keep a promise. I gave Kayo my word that if he stood up to the Mob l'd stand up with him all the way. And now Kayo Dugan is dead. He was one of those fellows who had the gift for standing up. This time they fixed him. They fixed him for good this time, unless it was an accident like Big Mac says. Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary.<br />They better wise up. Taking Joey Doyle's life to stop him from testifying is a crucifixion! Dropping a sling on Kayo Dugan because he was ready to spill his guts tomorrow. That's a crucifixion! Every time the mob puts the crusher on a good man<br />tries to stop him from doing his duty as a citizen, it's a crucifixion.<br />And anybody who sits around and lets it happen... Keeps silent about something he knows has happened, shares the guilt of it, just as much as the Roman soldier<br />who pierced the flesh of Our Lord to see if He was dead.

He sees you selling your souls to the mob for a day's pay. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />What does Christ think of the easy-money boys who do none of the work and take all the gravy? How does he feel about the fellows who wear expensive suits and diamond rings on your union dues and your kickback money? And how does He, who spoke up without fear against every evil feel about your silence? You want to know what's wrong with our waterfront? It's the love of a lousy buck. It's making love of a buck, the cushy job more important than the love of man. It's forgetting that every fellow down here is your brother in Christ. But remember, Christ is always with you. Christ's in the shape-up, in the hatch, in the union hall. He's kneeling right here beside Dugan and He's saying with all of you:<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;If you do it to the least of mine, you do it to me.&quot;<br />What they did to Joey and to Dugan they're doing to you and you. All of you! And only you, only you with God's help have the power to knock them out for good.<br /><br />Okay, Kayo?<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />Amen.</p>

Marge Gunderson: So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I
guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three
people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to
life than a little money, you know. Don't you know that? And here ya are,
and it's a beautiful day. Well, I just don't understand it.

I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.</p><p><font size="2"><em><strong>And then in another Costner movie, Field Of Dreams.

They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come. </p>

It's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat. but a man who's worth while is a man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat. Ok pookie.
