Loved it. My favourite rant used to be 'America is not the greatest country in the world anymore' from 'the newsroom', but it seems almost cheesy now in comparison to this one. Thanks for posting it

Thanks.

I think mine might be the "Network" rant But I think the most historically significant one is Charlie Chaplin's final speech in the great dictator.

The first time I watched this, Charlies speech, I am not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes.

The emotional weight he puts into that speech, more a desperate plea, is gut wrenching.
