Belushi in Animal House
Walter in Big Lebowski

Really? 2 pages in and no Independence Day speech?

You MFers are lacking.

"Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!"

Affleck - Boiler Room LINK

Daniel Day Lewis I drink your milk shake

And a classic...Humphrey Bogart - The Caine Mutiny

He was no different from any other officer in the ward room, they were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly, by the book, but they fought me at every turn. The crew wanted to walk around with their shirt tails hanging out, that's all right, let them. Take the tow line, defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged the crew to go around scoffing at me, and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles, and then old yellow-strain. I was to blame for Lt. Maryk's incompetence and poor seamanship. Lt. Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg.
Ah, but the strawberries, that's, that's where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I've had produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. [He pauses - looked at all the questioning faces that stared back at him, and realizes that he has been ranting and raving] Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them.

Clark W. Griswold...Christmas Vacation

.............holy shite where's the Tylenol?

---

Good call.
The rant in original Vacation was better imo tho, because he straight up tells his family they're "all fricked in the head". As a father you really can relate to that one.
Clark Rant

I love that he was shaving when he was behind the door.

I don't understand why that movie got such bad ratings, it was great.

"The frick is with the iguana?"

"There ain't no frickin iguana."

I Agree, The Original Vacation one is good

I think you're all fricked in the head. We're ten hours from the fricking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. You're gonna have fun, and I'm gonna have fun... We're all gonna have so much fricking fun we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of your assholes! I must be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy shite!

Christopher Walken and Chaz Palminteri in "Poolhall Junkies"

That movie has so many great speeches and rants.

NO TOUCH!!

Al Pacino's rant in his last scene in Scarface when he's fixing to get killed is pretty great

De Niro had a few, in Taxi Driver.
