Best speech in a movie
 

The most quotable movie thread turned out really good but then it got me thinking, what are some of the best speeches or lines in a movie and not just quotable sayings.

There's the "You can't handle the truth" which is great.
"This is Sparta" & "Then we shall fight in the shade" - 300

Tombstone has great dialoge in it but the best speech hands down in a movie goes to........

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket

And shepherds we shall be. For thee,
my Lord, for thee. Power hath
descended forth from thy hand that
our feet may swiftly carry out thy
command. So we shall flow a river
forth to thee and teeming with souls
shall it ever be. E nomini patri, et
Fili e spiritu sancti.

Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now- the I love the smell of napalm in the morning speech.

Michael Douglas in Wall Street- the greed is good speech.

And two good ones from a very underrated movie... the opening ethics speech by Johnny Caspar in Miller's Crossing, and John Turturro pleading for his life in the woods to Gabriel Byrne in the same film.
