One of my all time favorites..you beat me to it!

How about Pulp Fiction: Jules' Diner Robbery speech.

The Godfather trilogy features tons of them.  Godfather II especially with Hyman Roth in Cuba.  "This is the life we've chosen!!!"

Great Stuff.

Max Von Sydow as King Osric in Conan, talking about when gold loses its luster. It's like suddenly you're watching a completely different movie.

Stallone at the end of "First Blood."  The frustration of an entire generation of Vietnam Vets distilled into one short speech.

[Wence]

The Protagonist in Cronenberg´s "Naked Lunch".
He tells a story about a man whose ass gains control over his body.
First, the ass starts to fart by own will, then it speaks and so on...
At the end the ass is in full control of the man´s body - the ass even thinks.
This crazy arse-story is about 3 min long!

"Ah very nice TrekGeezer. Glad you have also caught HENRY V. Good film."

I especially liked the script!

"Chevy Chase's speech in Christmas Vacation....."

For that matter, how about his "Quest For Fun" speech in the first Vacation?  "We're gonna have so much f***ing fun, we'll need plastic surgery to remove our God damned smiles!!!"

One of my favorites, is Edward Norton's bravura speech in "The 25th Hour." What I call his "FU" speech. The only reason he got away with that speech is because he was non-discriminatory. Cursing out corrupt cops, rich dowagers, gays, ghetto blacks, Indian cab drivers, Korean grocers, Russian gangsters, Hasidic Jews, and seemingly every other group in New York City. That, and because he cursed himself out the most, for being such a stupid s.o.b.

Why he was never nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for that speech, I'll never know. Not only did he have to do it solo, with no one else on camera. But he had to do it, while facing a mirror.

Clint's a fantastic speech giver. The Unforgiven, "And now I'm gonna kill you!" I'm even a fan of his speeches in "In The Line Of Fire", "I know a lot about pigeons, Lilly." He's got that kind of voice that grabs your attention. Unfortunately Clint's gone beyond leathery and he's moving on to suede in the skin department. Him and Tommy Lee Jones are starting to look a little 'Cryptkeeper'-ish.odinn7 wrote:

George C. Scott's impersonation of Vince Lombardi at the opening of Patton.

Also, Alec Baldwin's little pep talk to the sad sacks in Glengarry Glen Ross.
Favorite line: "PUT DOWN THAT COFFEE--THE COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS!!"

[raj]

Beat me to it, I was just about to say:  George C. Scott.  Patton.

[Menard]

Favorite line from MY FAVORITE YEAR: " I am not an actor, I am a movie star!"

[MasterBlaster]

I liked Thulsa Dooms speach about flesh being stronger than steel. It had an impression on me as a little kid, but since he was the bad guy I thought that made me evil.

would hte battle of the Wits dialouge exchange in Princess Bride count?
