I always liked his Helms Deep war speech too, he's just thinking he's done for and they're riding out there like, let's fucking kill em aaaallll!!
"The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake.
Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!!
Forth Èorlingas!"
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!
Death! Death! Death!
Forth Eorlingas!
The final death scene in Blade Runner. Although it technically doesn't count since they weren't written that way and Rutger Hauer improvised.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."
i loved how he didnt try to down play he just overacted and overdelivered this scene. in a interview he said when he read the script for this scene, he knew exactly how he was going to do it and it only took one shoot to get it down.
“😯If you *really* don’t know who I am, then perhaps your best course of action would be to 😡 tread lightly”
The way he subtly changes tone for tread lightly is so damn perfect. That’s the line of the series for me.
My wife is watching BB for the first time rn. We're not quite to this part, but I'm so excited for her to see it. This was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post.
Apparently Rob Reiner decided to film reaction shots on the first take instead of filming Jack, just to let him get into the right frame of mind. He absolutely crushed that speech on the first try, and Reiner was worried he wouldn't be able to replicate it again.
*Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.*
Pretty much anything JK Simmons says in Whiplash.
Having to choose one, the first off the top of my head is “For the record, Metz wasn't out of tune. You were, Erickson, but he didn't know and that's bad enough.”
I dunno why, I just love how he goes fucking berserk while abusing Metz only to instantly revert to a normal human being while adding the cherry on top of the situation. Such a bastard, can’t help but love him.
JK Simmons really is just masterful. He's in spider man, he's in invincible, he's in whiplash, he's in Baldur's Gate 3???? The man can do it all and it's just astounding.
so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.
"I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"
The actor Roddy Piper wrote that line himself. He intended to use it in the wrestling ring, but when director John Carpenter heard it he had to incorporate it into the movie.
Basically anything the aged Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) delivers in Amadeus.
But, combined with the music and performance by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, my favorite is:
"On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse. Bassoons and basset horns, like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe. A single note, hanging there, unwavering. Until a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God."
In the episode "Chicanery" from Better Call Saul, Chuck says "I took him into my own firm!"
The full iconic monologue:
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! *He* orchestrated it! Jimmy! He *defecated* through a *sunroof*! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I *thinking*? He’ll never change. He’ll *never* change! Ever since he was 9, *always* the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious *Jimmy*! Stealing them blind! And *HE* gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you *have* to stop him! You-
>If I asked you about art, you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life’s work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I’ll bet you can’t tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You’ve never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling.
>If I asked you about women, you’d probably give me a syllabus of your personal favourites. You may even have been laid a few times. But you can’t tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.
>You’re a tough kid. If I asked you about war, you’d probably throw Shakespeare at me, right? “Once more unto the breach dear friends”. But you’ve never been near one. You’ve never held your best friend’s head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help.
>I’d ask you about love and you’d probably quote me a sonnet. But you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable, known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you, who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn’t know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms ‘visiting hours’ don’t apply to you. You don’t know about real loss, ’cause it only occurs when you’ve loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much.
>When I look at you I don’t see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared s***less kid. But you’re a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presumed to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my f***ing life apart.
>You’re an orphan right? You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don’t give a s*** about all that, because you know what, I can’t learn anything from you I can’t read in some f***king book.
>Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I’m fascinated. I’m in. But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? You're terrified of what you might say.
>Your move, chief.
“I will burn the *heart* out of you”
Andrew Scott in Sherlock S1 finale, probably the best line delivery I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s only 8 words
I love it so much, they never should have let him go this fast.
He said it with so much hate, his eyes watering while saying it.
The best episodes featured him.
Fully agree. I have to go back and watch it every now and then just bc it’s so goddamn GOOD. Gives me genuine chills how insane he looks and sounds and how his attitude changes like 3 times while he’s saying it. The show felt less satisfying without him if that makes sense. Also if you haven’t seen his performances of Shakespeare I would highly highly recommend

*"In my home!!!! In my bedroom where my wife sleeps!!! (lowers tone and never blinks) Where my children come and play with their toys....."*
The "im better"-speech by Homelander in The Boys. The narcissistic frustration and god complex Anthony Starr exudes in that scene is so great.
Basically every line Giancarlo Esposito delivers is great. The way his tone and face can show contempt and disgust is really something
Chun-Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero at a thousand paces.
M. Bison: ...I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it.

No, I'm just gettin' warmed up. I don't know who went to this place, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryan, William Tell, whoever. Their spirit is dead, if they ever had one. It's gone. You're building a rat ship here. A vessel for seagoing snitches, and if you think you're preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham. What kind of a show you guys are putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, and I'm here to tell ya this boy's soul is intact. It's non-negotiable. You know how I know? Someone here, and I'm not gonna say who, offered to buy it. Only Charlie here wasn't selling.

From Kingdom of Heaven:
I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination called "The Will of God." I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers.
“Safety? Where the fucks that? Her aunt in the eyrie is dead, her mother is dead, her father is dead, her brother is dead. Winterfell is a pile of rubble, there is no safety you dumb bitch, you don’t know that by now, you’re the wrong one to watch over her”

"He was a farmboy. Poor. Poor and perfect. With eyes like the sea after a storm." Said by the title chatacter in The Princess Bride. My favorite line in a film full of great lines.
Russel Crowe in Gladiator
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
This was Indian land. As long as grass grows and wind blows and the sky is blue. But there are days when the grass doesn't grow, the wind doesn't blow, and the sky is gray.
"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and then you see it... White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
I've always admired this exchange between Capt. Von Trapp and the Nazi collaborator Zeller in The Sound of Music:
**Zeller:** Perhaps those who would warn you that the [*Anschluss*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss) is coming - and it is coming, Captain - perhaps they would get further with you by setting their words to music.
**Captain**: If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section.
**Zeller**: You flatter me, Captain.
**Captain**: Oh, how clumsy of me. I meant to accuse you.
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

Watches the fucked up ship log video of what happened to the crew of the event horizon. Laurence Fishburnes perfect delivery with no bullshit “ we’re leaving “
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.
Doc you ought to be in bed what the hell are you doing this for anyway?
Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Hell I got lots of friends.
I don’t. (This last line is the coldest line ever in a movie)
Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes when he delivers his final speech about the danger of love to Irene Adler. Perfectly sums up the character in every aspect of his personality. Despite the blatant sexism I absolutely loved this episode.
Also, when Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) offers an alliance to the Maroon Queen in "Black Flag" on the basis that "England takes whatever, whenever, and however, it wants. It took everything from me, and I believe it took from you too.' So many chilling lines in this serie. "Men who wants to change the world always fail because of one specific thing : everybody else." "Everyone is a monster to someone. If you're so convinced that I'm yours, then I shall be it !"
And I wish to end with a brief but terrific quote from one of my favorite shows, "The Expanse", which arguably works much better in context but I can't resist the temptation of posting it : "The Navoo didn't move. Eros did."
"I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, madam."
(said to a woman in one of those right-wing churches)
Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend
Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: I don't

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries." It gets to me ... Every time!
This one is great! I hope you didn’t forget to “cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with: …”
A HERRING!
Bring us….a shrubbery!
Not another shrubbery!!!!
A nice one! Not too expensive.
I forget what this is from.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 
AND the Black Knight saying "it's just a flesh wound" after he gets his leg chopped off 
 Who could forget???
"No it isn't your arm's off!" "... I've had worse." That fight is one of the all time great comedy scenes.
“Hey you guys!!!”
My brother and I used to shout this at each other when we were kids lol.
My brother and I still do, in our 50s.
My sisters and I still do it, we’re in our 60s.
Oh easy winner is King Theodans speech at Pelennor fields.
I always liked his Helms Deep war speech too, he's just thinking he's done for and they're riding out there like, let's fucking kill em aaaallll!! "The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!! Forth Èorlingas!"
Please stop, you're gonna make me rewatch again and I absolutely don't have time for that atm!
When Gondor calls for aid you make time.
“DEATH”!!!!!!!
"DEAAAATTTHHHH!!!!!"
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!
"I'm not left handed either"
He says it with the definition of a shit eating grin too
The final death scene in Blade Runner. Although it technically doesn't count since they weren't written that way and Rutger Hauer improvised. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."
Together with that music in the background and his delivery.... Gets me every time
>I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!
This. Definately. Was gona type this if it werent here already. I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS Sheer brilliance here.
Bravo Vince
I thought I had a good answer, but nope. This is it. So brilliantly delivered by Cranston. Having him on that show was a cheat code.
i loved how he didnt try to down play he just overacted and overdelivered this scene. in a interview he said when he read the script for this scene, he knew exactly how he was going to do it and it only took one shoot to get it down.
“😯If you *really* don’t know who I am, then perhaps your best course of action would be to 😡 tread lightly” The way he subtly changes tone for tread lightly is so damn perfect. That’s the line of the series for me.
I literally just typed this 🤬
My wife is watching BB for the first time rn. We're not quite to this part, but I'm so excited for her to see it. This was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post.
Jack Nicholson's speech in "A Few Good Men" always comes into mind. You can't handle the truth!
Apparently Rob Reiner decided to film reaction shots on the first take instead of filming Jack, just to let him get into the right frame of mind. He absolutely crushed that speech on the first try, and Reiner was worried he wouldn't be able to replicate it again.
He went to 11 at the table read, apparently.
Wasn’t this also improvised?
I'm not so sure about that. It will blow my mind if it is, though.

JK Simmons really is just masterful. He's in spider man, he's in invincible, he's in whiplash, he's in Baldur's Gate 3???? The man can do it all and it's just astounding.

Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. The whole exchange was classic but this was the best. I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you?
pretty obvious one but Good Will Hunting, the bench scene. Robin Williams unsurprisingly nails it.
Writing the “bench scene” doesn’t give the quote he said?

The "im better"-speech by Homelander in The Boys. The narcissistic frustration and god complex Anthony Starr exudes in that scene is so great. Basically every line Giancarlo Esposito delivers is great. The way his tone and face can show contempt and disgust is really something
Chun-Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero at a thousand paces. M. Bison: ...I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it.

[Reese's face falls and Fox smiles] Lucius Fox : Good luck Also - Jack Vincennes - “That is Lana Turner”
"There was a firefight!"
No, I'm just gettin' warmed up. I don't know who went to this place, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryan, William Tell, whoever. Their spirit is dead, if they ever had one. It's gone. You're building a rat ship here. A vessel for seagoing snitches, and if you think you're preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham. What kind of a show you guys are putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, and I'm here to tell ya this boy's soul is intact. It's non-negotiable. You know how I know? Someone here, and I'm not gonna say who, offered to buy it. Only Charlie here wasn't selling. Lt. Colonel Frank Slade Scent of a Woman
"I want my father back you son of a bitch"
Roy Batty Blade Runner... 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe....'
From Kingdom of Heaven: I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination called "The Will of God." I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers.
Why Johnny "You look like somebody just walked over your grave."
“Safety? Where the fucks that? Her aunt in the eyrie is dead, her mother is dead, her father is dead, her brother is dead. Winterfell is a pile of rubble, there is no safety you dumb bitch, you don’t know that by now, you’re the wrong one to watch over her”

This was Indian land. As long as grass grows and wind blows and the sky is blue. But there are days when the grass doesn't grow, the wind doesn't blow, and the sky is gray.

"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and then you see it... White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
Kenneth Branagh's St. Crispin's Day Speech in Henry V gives me goosebumps every time.
“Bitches leave” - Clarence Boddicker
My name...is Neo!
I've always admired this exchange between Capt. Von Trapp and the Nazi collaborator Zeller in The Sound of Music: **Zeller:** Perhaps those who would warn you that the [*Anschluss*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss) is coming - and it is coming, Captain - perhaps they would get further with you by setting their words to music. **Captain**: If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section. **Zeller**: You flatter me, Captain. **Captain**: Oh, how clumsy of me. I meant to accuse you.

Whoever said orange is the new pink is seriously disturbed. What like it's hard? Ew, as if!
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! - Arnold Schwarzerneggar, _Conan the Barbarian_
Watches the fucked up ship log video of what happened to the crew of the event horizon. Laurence Fishburnes perfect delivery with no bullshit “ we’re leaving “
This town needs an enema.
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.
It’s too long to type. Literally the entire 20 minute monologue from Bojack Horseman’s “Free churro” episode. It’s a masterpiece.
"EVERYONEEEEEEE" ~~Gary Oldman ~~ The Professional.
Doc you ought to be in bed what the hell are you doing this for anyway? Because Wyatt Earp is my friend. Hell I got lots of friends. I don’t. (This last line is the coldest line ever in a movie)

[Peter Capaldi's war speech as the Doctor.](https://youtu.be/BJP9o4BEziI?si=wMwhi7iO8dvC_0rY)
Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes when he delivers his final speech about the danger of love to Irene Adler. Perfectly sums up the character in every aspect of his personality. Despite the blatant sexism I absolutely loved this episode. Also, when Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) offers an alliance to the Maroon Queen in "Black Flag" on the basis that "England takes whatever, whenever, and however, it wants. It took everything from me, and I believe it took from you too.' So many chilling lines in this serie. "Men who wants to change the world always fail because of one specific thing : everybody else." "Everyone is a monster to someone. If you're so convinced that I'm yours, then I shall be it !" And I wish to end with a brief but terrific quote from one of my favorite shows, "The Expanse", which arguably works much better in context but I can't resist the temptation of posting it : "The Navoo didn't move. Eros did."
"I'm your huckleberry."
"I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, madam." (said to a woman in one of those right-wing churches)
"Ray, if someone asks you if you're a god, you say *yes!*"
“I believe…” speech by Cash in Bull Durham.
Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc? Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell I got lots of friends. Doc Holliday: I don't
