Best speech in a film

[Esceptico]

Rewatched Wild Tales this evening.

I’ve seen some great speeches in films but at the moment struggling to remember one as good as this:

Other suggestions?

[Radec]

Not the best but one of my faves

[Gary29]

Two immediately spring to mind:

Dennis Hopper in True Romance



Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction (this time giving the speech instead of on the receiving end of it as per the above!)

[toasty]

Obviously

[toasty]

Always be closing

[lufbramatt]

Roy Batty at the end of Blade Runner

[LeroyLoser]

Another Pacino

[768]

Not sure how Braveheart hasn't got a mention yet.

I'll go leftfield.

Surprisingly still relevant 80 odd years later

Am I right in thinking this is the first time Chaplin spoke in one of his movies? If so his awesome line ratio must be up there!

His first movie with dialogue, but the speech comes at the very end.

[Kes Arevo]

Pffft...

One of my favourites.

I can now embed youtube links.

Jon Voight's bum job speech in Runaway Train for me.

More Pacino. Theme forming here.

[Scabutz]

The "walls" speech from a Few Good Men. Follows the very famous "you cant handle the truth line".

[BryanC]

Can I have 2 please :

George C Scott opening speech in Patten

and

Robin Williams with Matt Damon, the Park Scene in Good Will Hunting.

Both outstanding.

Love this one
(this is my 1st effort of putting a youtube link, so bound to go wrong)

Hudson .....The Ultimate Badass!

I block most scripts out so I couldn't see this but I knew what it would be, the rest of these short excerpts are lightweight, but this is heavyweight top ten stuff. I watched Grapes of Wrath last week for the umpty time, and this is still up there as well.

"I'll be there", Tom Joad Speech
