For me, maybe the top 2 come from the same movie. Glengarry Glen Ross.

We have Ricky Roma (Pacino) offering hope and perspective in the vacuum of life. The angel on your shoulder, in a distorted sense of course.

Then we have Baldwin's ball breaker speech, certainly the more famous of the two monologues. There are only two things that matter in the vacuum.. money and winning. The "devil on the other shoulder."

Baldwin in Malice is also great


quote:

The question is, 'Do I have a 'God Complex'?...which makes me wonder if this lawyer has any idea as to the kind of grades one has to receive in college to be accepted at a top medical school. Or if you have the vaguest clue as to how talented someone has to be to lead a surgical team. I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trauma from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle. But if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something: I am God.

Her short response is what seals it as a fantastic scene.

The opening to Olivier's Richard III (1955). It takes the classic monologue, and adds some of Richard's lines from Shakespeare's other plays.

Son, we live in a world of walls….

Jessups “You can’t handle the truth” monologue is fantastic.
