The best cinematic speeches ever

[King No1e]

The title is self explanatory. You can also add monologues if you'd like.

One of my absolute favourite is Bane's speech from the time he blew open the walls of Blackgate prison in the movie The Dark Knight Rises.

It had absolutely everything.
It was intense.
It was well articulated. The pauses were perfect. The emphasis on words was immaculate.
The tone was ever changing as the content of the speech changed.
I don't really believe that his voice modulation can be rightfully praised with words from my vocabulary.

His hand gestures were authoritative and power oozed through his posture.
And to top all that he had that amazing voice which he somehow managed to pull off without any tech.
The whole scene was a masterpiece.

PS: This is only for cinematic speeches and monologues and not real life speeches.
Real bores me. Give me reel anytime.

I saw the title and immediately thought of this speech before seeing your post.
What's even more amazing, is that you can watch it dubbed in any language and it still has the same power to it. Spanish, German, Japanese, Hindi, you name it. Every version gives me chills.

-- not at all a speech,

Michael: T-Bag have a real name?
T-Bag: That is my real name . . . so you're just as pretty as advertised.

 

[Robert Baratheon]

Nothing beats this IMO.

My favourite scene from GOT.
Never in my life have I felt so overwhelmed by a scene as I was with this one.
I mean it wasn't like Schindler's list or the Pianist in feel but it was of the same magnitude with a different feel.

When he says that he demands a trail by combat the way amidst the gasps by the courtroom crowd the camera cuts to Margaery and captures her shock then to Oberyn who curiously moves forward in his chair so gracefully as if he was gliding through the air, to Jamie capturing his disappointment and off to Cersei who although looks displeased by the development is already thinking about her next move, then to Tyrion who cracks a devilish smile and then it oh so smoothly zooms on Tywin whose bruised ego is on full display through his magnificent eyes, all the while "Lannister always pay their debts.mp3" is going on in the background.

It was marvelous. It was a moment where everything clicked. Every possible sense the viewer has was pleased in that moment.

Awesome thread.
Here's one from The Green mile,

'Lonely as a sparrow in rain' gets me everytime. Kudos to king and Duncan who brought John Coffey to life.

Like the drink but spelt differently. To me, it's the first guy who before getting executed asks about Heaven.

The obvious choice by some distance.

The kind of unspeakable humanity and rectitude that will get ya kicked out of the US of A. O, Land of the Free.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Loved it.
Littlefinger was so great.

The Universe will never forgive Dumb and Demented.

Al Pacino and inspirational speeches are a match made in heaven.
