Jackson preaching to the robbers in the cafe... "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."Braveheart:  At the battle of Sterling, as Wallace tries to rally his frightened soldiers... "You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"Conan the Barbarian:  As Conan and Subotai prepare to make a last stand against Thulsa Doom's riders, Conan prays to his god, Crom... "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 and why we died.  All that matters is that today 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."Dirty Harry:  After a shootout, Detective "Dirty" Harry Callahan holds his revolver on a suspect... "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"The 13th Warrior:  The northmen, severely outnumbered and broken-spirited, are reminded by Buliwyf why they should show courage in the face of certain death... "Lo there do I see my father.  Lo there to I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers.  Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.  Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever!"Full Metal Jacket: Gunnery Sergeant Hartman gives a pep talk to the recruits... "The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of s--- because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?"Wall Street:  Michael Douglas' character explains why greed is good... "The point is, ladies and gentleman, is that greed - for lack of a better word - is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind. And Greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."The Return of the King: King Thoden whips the Rohirrim into a frenzy before charging the fields of Pellinor... "Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden. Spears shall be shaken, shields 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!"That's all I can think of for now, although I'll undoubtably come up with more later. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
