    There are tons for everyone i would guess but just keep adding as you think of one i suppose. Right now just watched Blade Runner for the third time, this time the directors cut.

    Rutger Hauer's speech is as magnificent as it is short. Gotta get the 30th anniversary blu-ray edition.

    Tears in the Rain - Blade Runner (9/10) Movie CLIP (1982) HD - YouTube

    Another great one from "The Road"

    The Road; "HE'S A GOD" - in cinemas 8th January - YouTube

    Tinker Tailor

    Karla - YouTube

    Just some off the top of my head.
     


    Almost too many from "Lawrence of Arabia" but this is one of my favourite lines.




    This sequence from "Sunshine" is probably my favorite in a great many years.
     
    Christopher Walken's intro spiel to Dennis Hopper when he's going to kill him, and Hopper's response right before he's shot dead, in "True Love." Two of Hollywood's greatest psychopaths, face to face.

    Sorry, no idea how to find, much less post a link.
     
    Agree, Black ops, about Rutger Hauer's monologue at the end of Blade Runner. Pretty great dialogue, delivered with impressive, but subtle, feeling.

    I'll put up for consideration Galvin's (Paul Newman's) summation at the end of The Verdict. It's shot really well too.
     
    Really there are just too many to list. But here are some highlights:
    Lets just see if anythings missing...


    Oh you ready to blow!?


    Pretty please...with sugar on top...

    The American President - Michael Douglas' final speech sums up my feelings on liberty and being an American. Right up until the part where he goes after assault weapons and handguns. What a shitty left turn that is...

    America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it, bad. Cause it's gonna put up a fight. Its gonna say "You want free speech? Lets see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil and who is standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime advocating against at the top of yours...then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free"
     
    Forgot about this one. Russell Crowe Body of Lies. Though he isn't staring in the movie i thought Crowe was great.

    "Do we belong there or do we not? It doesn't matter how you would answer that because we are there. We're tired, and we can't see the end. We can't even console ourselves that our enemy is just as tired as we are. Because they're not. It is a fallacy that prolonged war will weaken an occupied enemy. It most likely will make your enemy stronger. They get used to the deprivation, and they adapt and respond accordingly. While here at home with every death reported we have to deal with a public-opinion trajectory that slides rapidly from supportive to negative to downright hostile. People just get sick and tired of a moment's silence at a ball game.They just wanna be told that it's over. Our enemy has realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is as brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it's the past, and you behave like it's the past then guys from the future find it very hard to see you. If you throw away your cell phone, shut down your e-mail pass all your instructions face-to-face, hand-to-hand turn your back on technology and just disappear into the crowd. No flags. No uniforms. You got your basic grunts on the ground there. They're looking going, "Who is it we're fighting?" In a situation like this, your friends dress just like your enemies and your enemies dress like your friends. What I need you to fully understand is that these people, they do not wanna negotiate. Not at all. They want the universal caliphate established across the face of the Earth and they want every infidel converted or dead. So, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has cottoned on to the factually unsophisticated truth...we're an easy target. We are an easy target and our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than you might think."

    Body of Lies Speech - YouTube

    Edward Norton Kingdom of Heaven.

    "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that."

    He isn't popular here but Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross is still awesome.
    King Theodin speech on the fields of Pellenor before facing the Orc army in Return of the King.

    Sled, I like the king Theodin speech too. Basically, "We're all gonna die, it's gonna be awesome, and we're gonna take half the world with us. Mount up!"

    Yeah that one was great, but was it better than Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate? I give them both a 9.7 So much awesome in Return of The King that only an High Elf could do it justice in words.
     
    Sled dog, +1 on Baldwin in Glengarry Glenross, he stole the movie from half a dozen powerhouse performances and was on screen for just a minute or so.

    To add to the list,
    "Charlie don't surf!"
     
    V. : But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voila! In view 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 bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding 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 honour to meet you and you may call me V.

    al pacino in every movie seems to have a rant / speech that is noteworthy, especially scent of a woman and the devil's advocate.

    then there's jack nicholson in a few good men, and jimmy stewart's filibuster in mr. smith goes to washington & it's a wonderful life to mr. potter.

    tied for my #1 speeches / rants

    arnold Schwarzenegger "if it bleeds, we can kill it" from predator, clint eastwood "feel lucky punk" dirty harry, and the final "ditto" in ghost.

    tied for my #2 scenes, with the opening of saving private ryan as #1
