    What is your favourite TV/Film speech?
    I have an audition and I was thinking of reciting Samuel L Jackson's famous speech from Pulp Fiction. Thoughts?

    - Don Corleone in The Godfather when he pleads for peace between the five families after his son is killed.
    - In the Lion King when Mufasa teaches Simba about the 'circle of life' whilst roaming the pride lands.
    - In Coach Carter when the coach lectures the players about discipline etc.

    Nice, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are genius'. Great work from Robin Williams. I might do that speech. Should I just recite Ezekiel 25:17 or is that sort of 'cheating'?

    Depends really. I wouldn't say it's cheating...but the problem is that Ezekiel 25:!7 may be too short to qualify as a speech for an audition.

    You should probably ask and see whether it alright and if not then do something a little longer.

    'I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time' lol still chuckle at Kanye's speech now. Don't get me wrong I love Beyoncé's music/videos etc but I felt embarrassed for her with this speech Kanye did.

    THE FUNERAL SPEECH IN 'SYNECDOCHE NEW YORK'. It's the greatest speech in any film ever, every other speech is plebeian. Get on my level, scrubs.

    I am quite drunk and very sorry for this post. It;s a very good sspeech though.

    German General's speech in Band of Brothers.

    ...I think I might rewatch Band of Brothers all over again now.

    Mike's monologue in Breaking Bad.

    There are plenty of other great BB monologues to choose from.

    Other honourable mentions include American Beauty and Inglorious Bastards.
