OK... let's try this, in an effort to sound horribly arcane, name EITHER - (1) Your favorite Canadian movie; OR (2) Movie with the best monologue.

As for me (1) Tie. 'Strange Brew' (duh) or 'Porky's'

(2) The, "It just doesn't matter..." routine from 'Meatballs'.

NOTE: Films that were merely shot in Canada don't count (like every friggin' flick lately). You may have to do your homework on number 1.

I can't answer #1, but for #2, another Bill Murray bit comes to mind -- the "We are mutts" monologue from Stripes.

Sorry, I'm not a MB regular, that's the best I've got.

-Favorite Canadian movie is "Cube"
-Favorite monologue is from Bluto in "Animal House" when they were on double secret probation or whatever...and he kept quoting things wrong.

"...and when the going gets tough.........*everyone looking around and quiet for the conclusion* The tough get going!!!"

Favorite Canadian movie : "Kickboxer 17:A Moose In The Kickboxing Ring, Eh"

Favorite monologue : Sam Elliot's rambling ode to "The Dude" at the beginning of "The Big Lebowski"

I'm just pleasantly surprised that no one mentioned Mel Gibson's over-the-top speech from 'Braveheart'

I need a list of "Canadian" movies to choose from, damnit. I can't think of a ton off the top of my head. Then again, I live in Arizona, so who can blame me.

Hmmm...I've seen Cube - it was good, so until I hear more choices, I'll go with that...

Monologue...Marney already picked the best (Sam Elliot/Big Lebowski), so I'll have to go off the beaten path and pick Ben Assfleck (yes, him) in the "interview" scene from Boiler Room. And Ferris' "rules" for getting away with "being sick" (basically the first 10 minutes) in his Day Off.

Same as fyi, I need a list of Canadian movies (And I AM Canadian for frick's sake).  Here are the movies I can think of that are Canadian (they may or may not suck):

Exotica

The Bay Boy

The Sweet Hearafter

Who Has Seen the Wind?

Mon Oncle Antoine

The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

Those are all the Canadian films I can think of, though I am sure the National Film Board of Canada has made some tax-payer funded shite of which I'm unaware.  Did they ever make the Kids of De Grassi into a movie??  If they did, I'd watch it. 

Oh, and, the over the top monologue in Braveheart is one of my favourites; I always get chills when I listen to it.  Another favourite is the one that begins with "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."  from Apocalypse Now.

You are all bastards for taking the best monologues... the canadian movie question involves to much thinking for me so I'll stick with the second query....

Here are some good ones:
Johnny Depp's in fear and loathing "With the right kind of eyes..."
Bruce Willis in Last Man Standing has some decent ones
Dunes infamous whispering monologues
Fight Club there is a monologue every other second
Tom Hanks inspirational speech in the volounteers
Michael Keaton's speech in Gung Ho that gets them all riled up.... over and over again
In the goonies the "it's our time down here" speech by rudy


Yeah well thats about it and yes my list kinda gets campy at the end.... I have a soft spot for movies I grew up with..... dern it.

lol @ the "I hate you all" subject line.

"Was is over when the germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

"Germans?"

"Forget it. He's rolling"

"Hell No!"

1941? John Belushi?

Hmm, Belushi's monologue from '1941'? Which one? At the beginning when he's gassing up his plane? Or later when he talking to Warren Oates? Either way, kudos for bringing up a forgotten gem.

(in bad japanese accent) "Where is Horrywood?"
"I'm Harry Woods!"
"Horrywood!"
"Harry Woods!"

"What's your real name?"

"Lipschitz."

I just remembered a great monologue…can't believe I didn't think of it before! PATTON!!!!

The opening monologue from American Psycho. Friggan creepy.

I liked that opening monologue in Patton too.  George C. Scott really brought ol' Blood 'n Guts to life.  I also liked it when Patton (George C. Scott and Patton are synonymous in my mind), has a conference with one of the heads of the British forces in N. Africa who claims the Luftwaffe has no power in that theatre of the war, whereupon they start getting bombed to shit by a Stuka.  Ol' Blood 'n Guts grabs his gun and single-handedly goes out and starts shooting at the plane; classic scene. 

Sin City.... Yes the whole movie... it's one big monologue.

true romance - dennis hopper's sicilians spawned by niggers speil was good (even if it did get him shot)

By now probably everyone has seen or heard either Jay Mohr or Kevin Pollack do thier spot on impression of Christopher Walken (always unbelievably funny).

A couple nights ago I decided to watch 'Pulp Fiction' again (NOTE: It's an urban legend that all the clocks in the movie are displayed at 4:20). Anyway, when the short flashback to young Butch comes along - the monologue of Christopher Walken now nearly seems he is a caricature of himself. Watch it sometime, and you'll see what I mean - particularly the part where he says, "... he'd be damned..."

Canada is anawesome state! What's yourestate Flower? I watched strangebrew about90 times--fuckinfunny shit! I was thinking thestate flowers was a mapleleaf right? Ihope iam rihgt. whoa--bonghitrush-- theflyin dog wasawesome-- I heard Gretzkymight run for governor--isthat true?

edward nortons bit in 25th hour. Dissin everyone its awesome only part of the movie i can remember.
Havent heard it you got to find it. Pure Honesty.

Does "Youngblood" count as Canadian? I guess it doesn't matter because I thought that movie sucked for the most part.

As for the second question. Bill Pulman's (Paxton's?) speech to his ragtag troops in Independence Day. You know, "We will not go quietly into the night..." Cheesey as hell, I know, especially when that goofy looking dude gives him the over-the-top salute. But,I saw it the summer it came out at Camp Lejuenne, NC. I was in a theater full of Marines on Fourth of July weekend liberty from the School of Infantry. The place erupted. Goosebumps, brotha, goosebumps.

I'm also partial to the Dennis Hopper one from "True Romance". But that was taken so, I'm sticking with the craptacular scene from that craptacular movie.

Yeah what he said.

"Go to your window, stick your head out and yell, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"

Tried it. Nobody gave a shit. Joan Cusak was the best part of that flick.
