Great American Speeches

When I was looking for MLK's I have a dream speech, I found this website. It has all sorts of American speeches both the text and in many cases the audio. I have some issues with their top 100 because they have skipped over everything prior to 1900.

Here is the kicker. They have some of the speeches from movies. Here are my favorites:
(Warning, the connection is slow)

Colonel Drummond Interrogates Mathew Brady on the Scientific Authority of the Bible

Larry the Liquidator's speech in Other People's Money

Aragorn's speech before the battle (LOTR)

And my absolute favorite from the site: Howard Roark Addresses the Jury
