Poll: My Favorite Monologue is ...

A poll by ElMaruecan82
Inspired by Sharan Shetty's Video of Best Movie Monologues

When you think of your favorite monologue in a movie, in which of these 12 categories, does it fit?

Discuss here

Since these categories might overlap, please take the order into consideration, and pick the highest one.

For instance, "you can't handle the truth" is an angry tirade, a villainous monologue, a military AND a courtroom speech, yet it falls under the coutroom category because :

  • antagonists or villains are more likely to deliver angry tirades;
  • the villain is more of an obligatory antagonist in the trial
  • the speech plays a pivotal role for the outcome of the case
The context of the trial is the most significant parameter.
