Chances are, if you're reading this post you have a favorite movie monologue. You might even be able to recite it verbatim. Even if you can't, your spine probably tingles a bit when you hear it. Well, you're in luck. This week's topic for Thursday Movie Picks, hosted by Wanderer at Wandering Through the Shelves, is precisely that - monologues (and/or speeches and soliloquys - tomato/tomahto).
Normally, I pick three things for a topic, write a little bit about each and send you on your way. That's not what I'm doing today. I'm breaking all sorts of rules. First, that whole between three and five picks thing, that's going out the window. Sorta. I mean, I am picking three of something, just not movies. I'm picking three actors. Each has delivered some dynamic monologues in their day. Since I can't of think of anyone better, they will handle the rest. They're so good, each of them get multiple entries. That means no more words from me...other than to let you know what movie a particular scene is from. And here they are...
