1. Jules Winnfield: Pulp Fiction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGiQsM2xmEg With this monologue it's all about the delivery and Samuel L Jackson's Jules Winnfield delivers one of the most iconic moments in movie history. The passion in which he recites the passage from the bible and his manic-eyed stare make him utterly imposing. With the righteousness of his delivery, Jules becomes vengeance, delivering the word of God on this evil man. How can anyone stand up to that? They can't. It's a monologue that builds and builds with tension until Jules releases it with an explosion of gun fire. Samuel L. Jackson has had many, many cool movie moments. But possible none as cool as this. Along with "Royale with cheese" this might be the most defining moment of Quentin Tarantino's most recognisable films. One of the most badass monologues in movie history? Absolutely! This was the first movie monologue that stuck in my mind for number one. As for you, please let me know in the comments below!
