[Phreak101]

Fight Club - The whole narrative

[scriptfactory]

devils advocate number 1
scarface the restaurant scene number 2

Agreed.

#1 Devil's Advocate
#2 Scarface
#3 25th hour

[MoneyAddyct]

Damn it...25th hour was immediately what I thought of. I didn't think many people saw it. Great movie. Other than that, Pacino in Devil's Advocate for sure, Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta towards the beginning, Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.

[biglouie250]

wow i was gonna post the devils advocate as well. but everyone else beat me to it. "its the goof of all time"

[Deluge1]

The #1 monologue from a movie is FOR SURE the inches speech by Al pachino in "Any Given Sunday".

No contest.

[scriptfactory]

Al Pacino has a bunch of great monologues. Devil's Advocate, Scent of a Woman, Scarface, Any Given Sunday, etc. etc. His voice is so damn cool, I wish I could talk like that. I bet he gets mad bitches.

[SVTMuscle*]

Scarface when he's in the restraunt saying how he's the badguy and stuff

[Doc.Sust]

pulp fiction, both monlogues by jules'the what happens when you fck marcelice wallace, and the diner scene,
devils advocate, pacino is so convinceing you would have to side with the devil

i love fight club, but you cant really count the entire movie as a monlogue, but it is DAMN good

[Doc.Sust]

wow i was gonna post the devils advocate as well. but everyone else beat me to it. "its the goof of all time"

" a cosmic gag for "his" amusement"

[GUnit33]

I don't know about movies, but Drama's on Entourage for his show was pretty sweet.

I don't know about movies, but Drama's on Entourage for his show was pretty ghey.

I like Hugo Weavings rant in the Matrix:

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure."
- Agent Smith

and David Carradine's speech about Superman in Kill Bill Vol. 2:

"An essential characteristic of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero, and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When he wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic that Superman stands alone. Superman did not become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak, he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race."

[GUnit33]

****er.

Just playing, man.





It was pretty nerdy, though...

I forgot about that one. Awesome speech.

[BigJames]

I forgot about that one. Awesome speech.

Yeah, I am a big fan of movies and I have an almost photographic memory...I can remember lines from movies I have only seen once for years after...

[Kale]

Other Peoples Money. Dany Divito when he is takling to a room full of shareholders. I have seen that clip used in Presentation Skills courses.

[Football_Bill]

The #1 monologue from a movie is FOR SURE the inches speech by Al pachino in "Any Given Sunday".

No contest.

Damn Right! We listen to that before going onto the field before every game. Gives me goosebumps.

[MoneyAddyct]

I just thought of two more...Ben Affleck in Boiler Room when he's addressing the new recruits AND Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenn Ross. They happen to be similiar speeches, too.

PS: If you want to get technical, Edward Norton's speech in 25th Hour is actually a soliloquy and not a monologue since he is alone on screen.

[Venomous Nemisis]

from the movie Snatch, Bricktop's speech about a nemesis, and feeding bodies to pigs

[dedic8ed1]

from the movie Snatch, Bricktop's speech about a nemesis, and feeding bodies to pigs

[humungus88]

I have to nominate Edward Norton's dinner table speech in American History X.

[bigpapabuff]

I like John Travoltas monologue about hollywood at the beginning of swordfish

[locowhiteguy77]

Dirty Harry in the Dead Pool.
""You forgot your fortune cookie. It says... you're sh*t out of luck."

[J.S.N.]

"...all i got is my ballß and my word, and i don't break 'em for nobody" - hate pacino and i still think this is the best ever. it's hilarious.

[CoreyTampa09]

Im a big fan of the monolouge of agent smith in the last matrix when neo is lying on the floor, it goes something like this -"Why Mr. Anderson why, why get up, why fight, is it for love....etc etc etc "I choose to"

[T3/T4 GSR]

Two of the best ones from Goodfellas which is my fav movie. Both by Henry Hill.
"Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week no matter what. Business bad? Fvck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fvck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning huh? Fvck you, pay me."

"Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen hideout flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies.
Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.
And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

[Foskamink]

i say

1# Pulp Fiction, the first scene where they go into the house, and he gives the speach before he kills them.

2# LA Crash (think its just called Crash in america) - the start and ending where they are at the crime scene.

[perfectbeast2001]

Jaws

Quint "Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. "

Quint again "Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb. "
