Braveheart

William Wallace: We all end up dead, it's just a question of how and why. Every man dies, not every man really lives.I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men… and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.

William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take… OUR FREEDOM!

How is every reply in this thread not Theoden's "DEATH!" speech. Da fuck?

and the glengarry speech from Alec Baldwin, almost stealing the movie somehow from one of the greatest ensemble casts ever filmed

NSFW Language

Glengarry is the correct answer.

Unless you go with the other acceptable answer of Pacino in Any Given Sunday.



These kind of performances are alway so mind-blowing to me.

Came into this thread to be grumpy and bring up Network as a counterpoint to whatever speech was in the OP.

Feeling some kind of mix between relief and satisfaction now.

I love that Ned Beatty speech. I keep wanting to memorize it for auditions, but it's way too long. Here's my contribution. Trivia: Robert Shaw was so drunk during the first take of this that he begged Spielberg to let him reshoot it.

That's a great monologue but now when I see it all I can think of is the parody with Charlie from it's always Sunny.

I never get enough of that part in a few good men.

From the movie Network (1976).

youtu.be

Ned Beatty's NETWORK speech-by Paddy Chayefsky

As true now as it was in 1976.

The American flag at the end is not from the movie, added by the person who uploaded the clip.

Any monologues or speeches in movies that you consider a must see?

this band implements the speech from Network beautifully. it takes a second to come in but give it a listen, it gives me goosebumps every time

EDIT: oh you posted another speech, well this is the other one where he's on air, i've actaully never seen the movie, wasn't aware of the one you posted

The problem with the Alec Baldwin speech in that movie is I've forgotten most of the rest of the movie. Don't know if it's just that good or the rest is forgettable.

This ones from a tv-show so I guess it doesn't technically count. But it was the first one I thought of.

Al Pacino's speech at the end of "Scent of a Woman" is unforgettable.
