Best Movie Monologues of All Time
This entry can be a real gold mine and I’m sure I’ll add more as comments come in or others come to mind, but these are the best movie monologues that you have to hear to believe. Needless to say, this post is full of NSFW language.

In this motivational speech from Full Metal Jacket, our favorite drill sergeant makes the list:
Speaking of the military, can you handle the truth? Jack Nicholson doesn’t think so:

LOL, well you’ll have to link those for me, cause I’m not familiar. But I guess for romcoms I could’ve gotten Tom Cruise in there from Jerry Maguire (“You complete me.”).

Hi John,
I saw you on Currensee.com and followed your link to your blog.
Are you still trading forex? I am in Rhode Island and am an active trader. It’s hard to find forex traders locally.
Anyway, happy to exchange ideas with you if you want. Also, love the speeches above. I can recite the GG speech by heart and I am looking forward to WS2 coming out soon.

Jim, if you’d like to keep up with me, you can join us on Babypips forums. I’m currently involved with the “finest in trend trading” thread there.
I added you to my Currensee trading team and I also post all my trades to my Twitter account FXTailgun.

Hi John,
I don’t follow currensee.com much anymore. I didn’t see the point of it and I was not too psyched about the idea of providing the username and password to my live trading account.
I have been posting my trade setups and executions on my blog http://www.fxtraderchat.com
I will look for your thread on babypips.com
