IMO it's:

Mad as hell.

Wilford Brimley in Absence of Malice had a great one too.

Most of the best ones have been posted already. Scent of a Woman, Few Good Men, Good Will Hunting.

I'm partial to Dennis Hopper in True Romance and Gene Hackman in Hoosiers, too.

Bull Durham. Kevin Costners speech to Susan Sarandon. I think her only comment was "oh my".

Sadly, I keep thinking of a speech from a TV show instead of a movie. Kinda blocking anything else from coming to mind.

Personal fav : Part from the movie The Life Before Her Eyes

"William James, that most American philosopher, once advised: "begin to be now what you will be hereafter". One might ask how? Our deepest guide in our beginning to be, is our imagination.

Our ability to project, and mold our future selves from the myriad possibilities before us. And to imagine takes courage and effort. But it gives us hope too, hope that we can author our own destinies, hope that rightness of the decisions we make now will be borne out in the future. As much as we can be overwhelmed by the world, we can also draw hope from it. From beauty, from promise, from the simple fact that we have the talent to imagine our future selves from all the possible lives that pass before our eyes. We must imagine our lives well. We must engage our conscience. Conscience is the voice of God in the nature and heart of man."

Offshore cant get a youtube link for it. IDK honestly if there will even be one, but it is really good.

Howard Blum's "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore" from "Network."

Not really a speech, but Quint telling the story about the U.S.S. Indianapolis to Brody and Hooper in "Jaws." was awesome.

Monologue... Nothing else comes close
