What are your favorite movie monologues?
Also, while you're here: all my patrons can now enjoy my exclusive unscripted video series called The Cinelogs, in which I discuss a variety of cinema-related subjects, like my extended thoughts on Dune: Part 2 and predictions for Messiah, movie reviews of Zone of Interest, Napoleon, Leave the World Behind & more, and the story of that time Villeneuve's team contacted me: https://www.patreon.com/LikeStoriesofOld

Uncle Irohs monologue to Zuko when he finds appa is so perfect for me. It almost feels like he’s talking to us in that one

Nobody delivered monologues like Robin Williams. The man was a force of nature.

Watching the monologue Skaarsgard gave in Andor, is a recent example which reinforces your point about the importance of meaningful monologues.

“Pig” is such an unbelievable masterpiece.
I’m a former chef, and I watched that movie on a 4 hour greyhound bus ride after I had gotten a dui. It’s hit home so hard that I was so lost and it genuinely helped me get back on track.

Sam's monologue at the end of the Two Towers, Gandalf's speech to Pippin in Minas Tirith, Théoden's farewell to Eowyn, Gandalf's speech to Frodo in Moria. Basically the LOTR monologues are a gold mine for life change.

As Kurt Cobain said, "I miss the comfort in being sad" it's easy and comfortable to close yourself off and to become cynical, because that is predictable. Happiness and freedom is in and of itself unstable, but that's kinda the point. Everything good requires hard work. Because that's exactly what defines something to be good

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

"What man is a man that doesn't make the world better" - there is a whole movie in that one line. You write some lines on this channel that truly cut me.
