What're some of your favorite speeches?
I'm interested in film speeches, play speeches, novel speeches (I can think of at least one great one from LotR), and real speeches (like, The Gettysburg Address).
I've been noticing some great ones recently (I saw Braveheart yesterday).

Well, I'll answer my own question.
The speech at Sterling in Braveheart by Wallace is cool.
Also, Tom Hanks' speech in Saving Private Ryan where he says, "I don't konw who Ryan is, but if saving him gets me back to my wife back home... blah blah" is really sweet.
Theoden in return of the king: Ride to ruin, and the red sun's rising! (always gives me goosebumps!)
St. Crispin's Day speech. Henry V.
The first speech in Richard III is woven like a tapestry.
Dang it, I wanted to mention Braveheart.
I didn't think any of the speeches in the movie The Return of the King were any good. I thought they could have been filmed better. I'm sure, though, that the book versions are just top notch.
I'll post more when speeches come to mind.
