Perfect 1 film-speeches.

[NotNew@Enworld]

After following the perfect 10 movie thread I decided to make this thread.

What is, in your opinion, the worst/most out of place/unreal (in a bad sense) speech you have ever seen/heard in a movie. For whatever reason.

My examples:

-Trinity's 12-page love hymn at the end of Reloaded.
-President Bill Pullman at the end of Independance Day just before the attack on Area-51. It was a very powerful emotional speech, but I can't see any1 pulling that out their...It would have been more credible if some1 was holding up cards in front of him.

There are more, but I can't come up with them right now.

Tata.

Not a speech, but Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson) talk about the bible verse to the robbers at the end of Pulp Fiction.

Samwise's little speech at end of Two Towers.

EDIT: I thought you said good speeches, IMO what I put are good examples, my bad.

heh, I was going to put Sam's TTT speech on as a bad example. It was ok the first time but I zip past it every time on repeated viewings because it is quite corny...

KenM, you had me worried there. Eric, I'll be waiting for you after school by the bike racks .

It was supposed to be a 1, but Lukas Haas's speech at the end of Mars Attacks is so lame it's hysterical.

-President Bill Pullman at the end of Independance Day just before the attack on Area-51.

Strangely, I would put this down as a GREAT speech. I've found throughout history that some of the best speeches are written impromptu with little forethought but great passion. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech is a prime example. It fit the movie's tone, and it was the kind of speech you want to play before rising up and giving the enemy hell. It's the modern version of "Saint Crispin's Day" or "Forward, Men of Gondor!"

It's not a very long speech, but Andi McDowell's "That's for making me think you cared!" in Groundhog Day made me shudder, as if someone had overacted across my grave.

I hold all of y'all who told me this was a good movie personally responsible!

• Samwise's speech at the end of the Two Towers. As much as I loved that movie, I thought Samwise's speech was a little too high on the cheese-factor.
• Trinity's big, long death speech in the Matrix Revolutions.
• Anakin professing his love to Padme in Star Wars Episode 2.
• Anything said by the narrator in The Thin Red Line. I paid admission to see a WWII action movie, but instead I found myself at a candy-ass poetry reading.

More as I think of them.

Agreed when I heard it I wanted to barf - especially when measured alongside Frodo's homosexual yearnings for his 'companion'\

oh and John Connor at the end of Terminator 3

Samuel L. Jackson's "Man vs. Nature" speech in the abysmally bad Deep Blue Sea, which is completed by a moment's dramatic pause, and then him being snapped in half by the mutant genius shark. It totally cracked me up.

Anything that ridiculously bad french guy said in Matrix 2 and 3. I've never seen someone laugh evilly to himself so much...cept maybe Mr. Burns. Wow, a BAD Snidely Whiplash impression...tough to beat.

Ooo...I still remember that "what can make a man want to change himself" speech from the Segal film where he's the native activist and he's beating the crap out of some guy in a bar. I have blocked the name from my mind.
