Best Film Speeches and Monologues
Memorable film speeches and monologues are usually extremely persuasive and highly quotable, either designed to promote or to dissuade. They are normally delivered orally and directed at an audience of three or more people, although there can be exceptions, such as voice-over narrations. In this 25-part (chronological and illustrated) historical survey, some of the quoted content from each film's speech has been included, with such classics as James Stewart's speech to the Senate in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Jack Nicholson's "You can't handle the truth" courtroom speech in A Few Good Men (1992), and Marlon Brando's "I coulda been a contender" speech in On the Waterfront (1954).
