Neat movie monologues

Monologues are an interesting breed. Most of the time, when a character in a film goes on a long uninterrupted rant it's because either the story up until that point has been somewhat disjointed and the writer felt the need to play catch-up with the plot, or the audience is assumed to be comprised of mostly sea plankton, incapable of discerning basic story elements and needing to be told HOW THINGS HAPPEN IN A MOVIE in order to ensure that the significance of the reeeeeeally cool upcoming explosion in the story of a walking steroid shooting and/or having sex with things doesn't go unappreciated.

When used aside of rallying the scrappy band of ragtag underdogs in the final moments before a climactic showdown, however, a good monologue can be a pretty powerful tool. Some can make you laugh, others cry, even having you pumping your fist in anticipation for a no-nonsense ass kicking. Whatever the intent, they all leave a lasting impression and a really good one will serve as the centerpiece by which a movie is remembered for years on end.

That being said, these aren't the best monologues to come out of Hollywood, nor are we claiming them to be. They're simply a collection of speeches, rants, anecdotes and stories we feel are pretty neat.
