Another good one: Edward Norton's rant in 25th hour.

It can't be that good if it's basically a rehash of a scene from Do the Right Thing.

Re: Movies with the best Monologue
 

I caught David Thewlis(Johnny) in Naked in just the right mood and thought he was brilliant. It's basically one big monologue. Just a snip:

Louise: So what happened, were you bored in Manchester?
Johnny: Was I bored? No, I wasn't [censored]' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new as long as it's new as long as it flashes and [censored]' bleeps in forty [censored]' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not [censored]' bored.

I like how some of the best actors of their generation are in this scene and just are basically there for atmosphere.

And here's the text, just for fun:

My cousin, who's a pharmacist, does a pretty funny riff on this speech- "When someone walks into a Walgreens with a bad cough, or weird rash... who do you think they're praying to?"

(Guess you have to be there)

I appreciate the Walgreen's joke a lot.

You linked back to Chaplin again though.

I'd go with Devil's Advocate, at the end where he calls God an absentee landlord. Not the Eddie Barzoon one.
