GDH94 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Exquisite performance by Norton, for sure. One that comes to mind for me is Nicholson in A Few Good Men -- what a captivating performance from start to finish. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9FnO3igOkOk"frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Also, not technically a "rant" but in terms of speeches, Alec Baldwin's Glengarry Glen Ross speech is hard to beat!

ConsentOptional Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Disagreeable travel options with Watney's Red Barrel. Quote

Ah!! I can't believe I forgot all about Glengarry Glen Ross!! That is the absolute BEST rant. Quote
AromaLover21 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Al Pacino in And Justice For All One of my favorites at least. Quote
jpcpat Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 THE absolute classic the "I'm mad as hell" speech from Network: but it's not my favorite. That honor goes to Bluto because "It's not over until WE say it's over" is the most accidentaly Fortressey lines of all time Quote
Jeriko13 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 So many good ones. Trainspotting opening monologue Tyler Durden in Fight Club Clark in Christmas Vacation Not quite a rant, but still amazing: Quote
Mistress Vivienne Fang Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GSu7BGbyJqc ^honestly the most iconic moment in cinematic history Quote
Mistress Kang Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 In another life I wish to come back as Al Swearengen. Quote
Dannyboy Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 One that comes to mind: Dear Ms. Kang: I remember George C. Scott in "The Hospital" doing a rant about being impotent in the presence of a young lady. Of course they end up having sex. I am technologically incapable of bringing that segment to this Forum. Perhaps some accommodating soul will do me that favor. Dannyboy Quote
Mistress Justine Shankar Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 So many good ones! O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill is a heroine of mine for obvious reasons, and this scene is so gloriously satisfying (especially as a mixed-race lady ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLvz5E61UNs. I remember first seeing this and being so captivated by her cool, reserved power contrasted with her controlled burst of fiery anger. Not to mention the impeccable aesthetics... so much dommespiration. Quote
mrstone87 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 Not so much a rant but...so much foreshadowing in this scene: Quote
Dannyboy Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 CO: Merci, Takk, Arigato, Toda and Gracias. Too bad the segment ends before she wakes up his "limp dingus." Before the segment starts he was about to give himself a lethal injection. A turning point. Dannyboy Quote
Anubis Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 ^honestly the most iconic moment in cinematic history I like her in this court scene www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUo7mjW2D3M Quote
Anubis Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 I think Misery had the best rantswww.youtube.com/watch?v=SyQSH3XmQCEwww.youtube.com/watch?v=HrRSo3a1ZYUwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkPfZTLecL8www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br5umHOm3TM Quote

Scott was hot at that age. His son, Campbell Scott, is a silver fox. Quote
fistluvr Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 I happen to like Newsroom's American isn't the greatest country anymore ....Yosemite! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VMqcLUqYqrs Quote
gene Posted April 9, 2017 Report Posted April 9, 2017 I may be partial since I'm a veteran, but Gunnery Sargeant Hartman takes the cake. https://youtu.be/3j3_iPskjxk Quote
Dannyboy Posted April 9, 2017 Report Posted April 9, 2017 I may be partial since I'm a veteran, but Gunnery Sargeant Hartman takes the cake. https://youtu.be/3j3_iPskjxk gene: What a candy-ass, I got a tougher speech from my mother on the day I was born. LOL Actually some of the rant seems to be copied from the one delivered by Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley in "An Officer and a Gentleman," played by Lou Gossett, Jr. That was on my mind as a favorite. Oh yes, there are a number of Devotees who are veterans. Dannyboy Quote

As for part of the rant being copied, R Lee Emery served as a technical advisor for "An Officer and a Gentleman" so I'm sure he had a good share of input on Louis Gossett Jr's character. Quote
