re: Best movie speech/monologues of all time

Another great monologue from the World’s End: YouTube
quote:
Tonight, we will be partaking of a liquid repast as we wind our way up the Golden Mile. Commencing with an inaugural tankard in The First Post, then on to The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two-Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, and The Hole in the Wall for a measure of the same, all before the last bittersweet pint in that most fateful terminus, The World's End. Leave a light on good lady, for though we may return with a twinkle in our eyes, we will be in truth blind - drunk!

Alec Baldwin in Malice (I'm surprised this hasn't already been mentioned):
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.

I also could post the entire script of The Lion in Winter but it's mostly dialogue and not monologues. So I'll just post this from King Henry II

I found out the way your mind works and the kind of man you are. I know your plans and expectations - you've burbled every bit of strategy you've got. I know exactly what you will do, and exactly what you won't, and I've told you exactly nothing. To these aged eyes, boy, that's what winning looks like!

Good pick. Abraham's performance as Salieri gets on my short list for greatest performances of all time.
"This man had written his first concerto at the age of four; his first symphony at seven; a full opera at twelve. Is talent like that written on the face?"

One of my favorite speeches.
Everything out of Eastwood's mouth from about here until the end of the movie.

Just a 3 word speech but those 3 words were pretty damn inspiring!
“I’ll make it!”
“I’ll make it!”

It’s cheating, b/c Shakespeare, but nothing beats St. Crispin’s Day from Henry V.
I was just about to post that. If plays made into movies count, there are tons of good ones in Shakespeare. The "band of brothers" one you mention from Henry V, "what a piece of work is a man" from Hamlet, "what's in a name from Romeo an Juliet", "friends, Romans, countrymen" from Julius Ceasar, etc. etc.

Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, 1942. Ending speech
Includes the quotes:
"If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."
"We'll always have Paris."
"I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world."
"Here's looking at you, kid."
And a few seconds after that monologue, he says to Capt. Renalt: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

I’m going TV show.
Mr Bookman. Seinfeld:
Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp, the one that says "New York Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot.
Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about old library books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior.
Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again.
This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time is over. Y'got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!
