Best speech from a movie....
Discussion
Not sure if this has been done elsewhere, but this speech from Glen Gary Glenn Ross is possibly my favourite speech from a movie along with the court scene with Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men...

Blake: What's the problem, pal?
Dave Moss: You -
[correcting him]
Dave Moss: Moss. You're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?
Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?
Dave Moss: Yeah.
Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a s
t. Good father? fk you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave.

Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.

Not the best speech in a movie by a long shot......but very entertaining! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvXVP5lSF1s
My favourites;
"The will to do what the other guy wouldn't,"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLUGhxy9kno&fea...
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe,"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzA_xesrL8
"Do you smell that, do you smell that?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPXVGQnJm0w

Man On Fire has loads of good speeches usually ending in Creasy killing someone.
This has to rate as one of the best though

Not a single speech, but the 15 minutes that Robert Duvall is on screen as Lt. Col. William Kilgore in Apocalyspe Now is the finest performance I have ever seen for pure entertainment. Full of classic lines,
"We use Wagner, it scares the st out of the slopes, my boys love it!"
"Charlie don't surf"
"If I say it's safe the surf that beech, it's safe to surf that beech" (as mortar fire knock one of his surfing cavalry men off of his board)
etc,
The best speech of the performance though is,
"You smell that? You smell that? Napalm son, ain't nothing in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. One time we had a hill bombed - for 12 hours - and when we went up there, we didn't find one of them, not one stinkin' dink body. But the whole hill, you know that gasoline smell? Smells like victory! One day this wars gonna end!"

The Cheeseyest speech has to be from Independance Day.
