Top 10 best monologues in film history

Have at it

 

Glengarry Glen Ross possibly has two of them in the one film.

 

Always a favourite of mine:

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

 

Hugo Weaving is the only actor that could have pulled that one off.

 

Genius beat me to it.

Baldwin in Glengarry wins this.

Followed by the famous "I'm Mad as Hell" speech in Network.

 

Shoutout to Pacino dressing down Spacey at the end.

 

Every single actor in that movie was flawless. Every last one. What other movie can say that?

 

javier bardem intro in 'Skyfall'

christopher walken explaining the gold watch to a young Butch in 'Pulp Fiction'.

someone doing 'to be or not to be' in some version of hamlet. maybe olivier.

good call on baldwin in glengarry and the network one.

 

First time I watched it, I was annoyed as hell with Arkins performance thinking he was a mumbling fuck. Until the end when I realized he was just playing a really neurotic character very well. Magnificent film.

 

Pacino at the end of And Justice For All is definitely near the top. The movie itself is underwhelming, but that one scene is classic.
