Best movie speeches (redux?)

Animal House Bluto Speech.

Johnny Rambo's speech at the end of "First Blood" I thought was a great one.

Though thanks to Stallone, it is sometimes hard to understand, the meaning is clear.

Especially when referring to Vietnam Rambo say "Over there I handled million dollar equipment. Here I can't even get a damn job washing cars!"

Babylon 5 had some good ones. Like Delenn's "The only Earth Commander who ever defeated the Minbari is behind me. YOU are in front of me. If you value your lives, be elsewhere."

Or G'kar, the Theoden of the series..."If it takes a thousand years, we WILL BE FREE."

Oh, and the TC MQueen speech right before he goes out and vapes Chiggy von Richtofen in SAAB.

Which Babylon 5 film were those from?

"Did you not know that King Kong the First was only three feet, six inches tall? He barely came up to Faye Wray's bellybutton. If God could do the tricks we do, He'd be a happy man!"

Come to think of it, I think the thread you're thinking of is in the Green Room.

Episode...she was referring to Capitan John Sheridan. It was shortly after B5 split from Earth, as I recall....Delenn was leading a fleet against an Earth fleet that was attempting to retake B5.

Pretty much any of G'Kar's speeches would qualify. Amazing character given life by an amazing actor.

This probably doesn't qualify as a speech because it's more about the context and the music in the scene. But JD's short monologue at the end of this clip always gets me.

"The Devil's Advocate" when Al Pacino rants about what a sick, twisted fuck God is. Research it....awesome.

oh, good one.

Have to add a few more of my personal favourites!

The Golden Child - Viva Nepal I still quote this one to this day!

Dead Poet's Society - The powerful play goes on

Crimson Tide - Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington

A Few Good Men - You Can't Handle the Truth! This one goes without saying!

Conan the Barbarian - Conan Prays to Crom

This is like a historical, psychological map of my brain!

One of my favorites of all time. Christopher Walken does this such justice.

CAPT. KOONS

"Hello, little man. Boy I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your Daddy's.
We were in that Hanoi pit of hell over five years together.
Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your Daddy were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it had been me who had not made it, Major Coolidge would be talkin' right now to my son Jim. But the way it worked out is I'm talkin' to you, Butch.
I got somethin' for ya.

This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-granddaddy.
It was bought during the First World War in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was bought by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-granddaddy's war watch, made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. You see, up until then, people just carried pocket watches.
Your great-granddaddy wore that watch every day he was in the war.
Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off his wrist and put it in an ol' coffee can. And in that can it stayed 'til your grandfather Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War Two.
Your great-granddaddy gave it to your granddad for good luck.
Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Your granddad was a Marine and he was killed with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island.
Your granddad was facing death and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your 22-year old grandfather asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp.
Now he knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it's be confiscated. The way your Daddy looked at it, that watch was your birthright. And he'd be damned if and slopeheads were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide somethin'.

His ass.

Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of disentary, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years.
Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

Edit: Found this.

Funny story, I actually performed that monologue at a family reunion talent show, with the full-on Christopher Walken accent. I had my 12 year-old female cousin fill in as Butch because my 17 year old male cousin bitched out on me. I had to change some of the racial epithets around, but I still kept 'ass' in there.

Needless to say, it killed. Even Grandma loved it.

Rubicon

Most of the good ones have already been taken, but has anyone mentioned the Insult monolog from Roxanne?

Anyway...amens to:

Gibson on horseback from "Braveheart".
Nicklson on the stand in "A Few Good Men"
Costner before leaving in "Bull Durham"
Stewart draws the line in "First Contact" (odd that there's no equivilant Kirk speech since he was so known for them in TOS)
The letter in "Breakfast Club"

Also, I'd haveto mention:

Mal's "Aim to misbehave" in Serenity, AND the one when he decides what to do upon finding Book dead.

Bogy's "you have toget on that plane" at the end of "Casablanca"
Sam Jackson in the diner at the end of "Pulp Fiction" (a movie I otherwise hated)
Thefillisbuster speech in "Mr. Smith goes to Washington had some memorable stuff I think"


I KNOW I'm forgetting some....

I'm sure it was great, but it could have used a little more
