Movies Out of these movie monologues - Which are the 5 best? (First Elimination Bracket)

[Fox by the Sea]

I've seen things will probably and rightfully win this.

 

[Sweater of AV]

If you've seen the movie then you'll understand the context better. Regardless, Cruise in Magnolia has some of the best actual monologues that you'll see.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Robert Shaw takes it for me, the story behind the acting with the drunk Bob Shaw/crumpled not crumpled Richard Dreyfuss shirt make it stand out.

Also voted Julia Roberts and Sydney Poitier

 

[SKYNET]

it doesn't get much better than George C Scott in Patton. He was born to play that role. That and Brando as Don

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I want to throw honorable mentions to Rutger Hauer in Blade zrunner, though it's more a soliloquy.

Also Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction.

Rutger Hauer, Blade Runner is definitely a monologue. It's in this tourney. : - )

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Would the park bench scene from Good Will Hunting be considered a monologue?

If so, that would be my #1:

1.) Good Will Hunting Park Bench Scene
2.) Alec Baldwin's Glengarry Glen Ross scene

Not sure on #3 yet.

Robin Williams Good Will Hunting is certainly a monologue. And it's in as well.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Will it be DDL from TWBB or GONY that wins here

Good question, we will see. : - )

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

If you've seen the movie then you'll understand the context better. Regardless, Cruise in Magnolia has some of the best actual monologues that you'll see.

Indeed those will be in the tourney as well.

 

[Streeter]

Good question, we will see. : - )

Forgot about Robin Williams GWH. That's right there as well. Who would of thought Williams would become a top 15 ever actor.

Chaplin
Brando
Shaw
Crowe
Baldwin

These are the only memorable ones for me from this list

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Brando
Shaw
Crowe
Meridith
Baldwin

 

[Thai Domi]

Voted Quint in Jaws

hopper in true romance

This has to be way up there along with Mr. Brown's Madonna Speech from Reservoir Dogs (both written by QT)

 

[buddahead]

Joe pesci, desert scene - Casino
Joe Pesci, banker scene - Casino

 

[Brom Bones]

I'd like to nominate Colonel Sanders from the Matrix Reloaded where he talked rambled for like 5 minutes straight and kept saying "ergo" a lot.

But seriously, Mel Gibson's freedom speech from Braveheart.

 

[Brutus.......]

No Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men?

 

[Goon Dog]

Dang, this will be tough. I went with The Don, Quint, Maximus, Mickey and Patton and you know Col Jessup is coming with You Can't handle the Truth in another thread. First round I'd give to Robert Shaw. His USS Indianapolis scene was fucking spectacular.

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Stallone in rocky 6 beats all these bums.

 

[MLarson]

1. Robert Shaws-Jaws
2. Marlon Brando- The Godfather
3. Sigourney Weaver-Aliens
4. Hugo Weaving-The Matrix
5. Burgess Meredith-Rocky 2

 

[FyrFytr998]

Even if he doesn’t advance. Everyone needs to watch Chaplin’s scene in the Great Dictator.
