Inspired by Calcium Calcium talking about playing Jaws: The Board Game in This Thread

I kept thinking about Quints amazing monologue on the Boat when himself, Brody and Hooper are getting drunk and comparing scars and the USS Indianapolis comes up and what a great scene performance it was. Figured a thread was required.





So what's are some of your favourite Movie Monologues/Exchanges GAF

I can't find a clip, but i submit the scene in Stand by me when River Phoenix just explodes everything and gets real about people's expectations about him, and his expectations about himself, them it turns out he beat all that crap

Might get hate for this but:

Personally I found Game of Shadows to be a crap movie. But that last showdown between Downey's Holmes and Jarred Harris' Moriarty for me is one of the best onscreen representations of this classic fictional rivalry.

It matches Jeremy Brett's and Eric Porter's version in Granada TV version of Sherlock Holmes.



And is a thousand times better than the crap we got in the BBC's Sherlock.

I always found this scene with St Paul and Jesus from The Last Temptation of Christ to be quite compelling. Paul lectures Jesus why worshippers don't need him as an ordinary man, but as the resurrected Christ and Son of God.

A lot of my favourites have been posted already but I absolutely have to mention The Green Mile. The scene where he's talking about how tired he is of the world, it is so sad.

I love this scene from Al Pacino. I really think he was something else as Tony Montana. People often will bring up Michael Corleone which was equally as incredible, but I have a softer spot for his Scarface performance. There was more intensity to the character.

He’s a great actor, he’s got a shitty reputation from Twilight.
Pattinson is a great actor indeed. Twilight used to be all I thought about when I saw him, but he really has done such a great job putting that behind him. He was fantastic in Good Time and The Lighthouse also. He has a realism about his acting that is really endearing. I think he could really surprise people as a darker Bruce Wayne.

I only saw the first Twilight movie and made a point of avoiding the rest. But I agree. Everything I've caught Pattinson in shows him to be rock solid, and take on great roles.

I really enjoyed him in "Good Time" - it's hardly a 'happily ever after' type movie, but a good watch.
