Greatest Film Speeches and Monologues: Film speeches are normally delivered orally and directed at an audience of three or more people, although there can be exceptions. They are usually persuasive-type speeches, either designed to promote or to dissuade, and they are highly quotable.

Top 20 Greatest Film Speeches and Monologues: Video store chain Blockbuster Video (in the UK) held a series of polls in late 2003 with its customers to determine the twenty best film speeches/monologues in cinematic history. Although there were some excellent choices in their poll, the results almost completely ignored early films, and entirely disregarded films with speeches made by female characters.
