I wrote two posts yesterday asking for everyone's Favorite movie of all time and the Worst movie of all time.
While posting about my favorite movie (Gladiator) I mentioned how Russell Crowe said the famous monologue was shit and that he wanted to change it. Fortunately it never got changed and goes down in history as one of the best quotes.
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, 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."
Which got me thinking, there are a lot of fantastic monologues in movies and it would make for an interesting post to highlight some of my favorites. In fact one I ripped to an MP3 and it makes a fantastic motivational sound byte. That is the inches speech from Any Given Sunday which you can find below. I listened to it daily for many weeks at a time.
