Dr. Evil's while he and Scott attend group therapy. "My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery," is probably the part that cracks me up the most.

[...They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin'....I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.]
Clark Griswold's in "Christmas Vacation."
“Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We’re all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We’re gonna press on, and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since *Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white a* down that chimney tonight* , he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of a****** this side of the nuthouse."*
Then he gets trapped up in the attic alone (everybody has gone shopping) finds Xmas movies up there and it's a highlight of the film. The production plays a popular song, I forget the name over the silent images. They use the cast in the clips and somehow he's wearing his mother's bathing cap while watching this & he's cryin' like a baby over the sight. The sequence is quite touching.
shareIt's this one (and I agree that scene is very touching):

Yep, that's it. Great find, RN. And it was a nice stretch there by that production to find the right tune to couple with that performance by Chase. It's a real moment in an otherwise unreal formula.

Awesome🌞
That one really sticks out.

The opening to Kick-Ass.
Much smarter than expected.
Scott Pilgrim versus The World also had some excellent narration/monologue.
As did Zombieland.
Thats a fine one!
I love Chrisopher Walken's lion story from PoolHall Junkies
Alec Baldwin 'Always Be Closing' speech from Glenngary Glen Ross is cool as hell too
The end of Stand By Me. It's a bit sad though.
So here's a happier one.
"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
The best one I know! From Jack!

Jack's monologue about women in "Witches of Eastwick" is pretty great too.

This one?????
That's the one. It's great, isn't it? I can't imagine anyone but Jack being able to pull this off.
shareLove it! The whole movie is one of my favorites! I know that I say that about so many films. That's because I love movies. Don't we all? Why else are we here? Don't answer that!
In any case, Jack is one of the very best! 😎
Jack's gift is to make characters you would never want to meet in a million years endlessly fascinating.
