January 11, 20179 yr About half of the Glenngary, Glenn Ross movie. So many good speeches in that flick. Never heard of it until a few years ago. Very hard core sales film. Well done with a great cast. I'd love to see the play. FYI, lots of bad language. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=glengarry%20glen%20ross

January 11, 20179 yr The West Wing - "Take This Sabbath Day" After a day of his staff and multiple other people trying to find the way for the President to justify commuting a death sentence, President Bartlet's old parish priest pays a late-night visit to the White House. The great Karl Malden (who should've played a priest in everything) absolutely owns this scene.
January 11, 20179 yr Author Another great one from Ken Burns. Skip to the 1:40 mark where the speaking begins. [video=youtube;FN2huQB-DmE]
January 11, 20179 yr Another great one from Ken Burns. Skip to the 1:40 mark where the speaking begins. [video=youtube;FN2huQB-DmE] Just hearing the first few notes of "Ashokan Farewell" makes me want to watch that all over again. It would be my fourth time through if I did. What a great documentary series that was.

January 12, 20179 yr Author Just hearing the first few notes of "Ashokan Farewell" makes me want to watch that all over again. It would be my fourth time through if I did. What a great documentary series that was. I've watched it twice, front to back, and I've watched a few of the episodes randomly for whatever reason as well. I've watched Baseball three times, and both National Parks and Prohibition twice as well. I just had to look to see how many of Burns' documentaries I've seen...it's more than half of them: The Statue of Liberty The Civil War (x2) Baseball & The Tenth Inning (x3) The West Thomas Jefferson Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery Frank Lloyd Wright Jazz Mark Twain Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson The War The National Parks: America's Best Idea Prohibition (x2) Yosemite: A Gathering of Spirit The Roosevelts: An Intimate History Jackie Robinson

January 12, 20179 yr Everybody thinks the "I could have been a contender" speech scene in the back of the cab was great. I've always liked this one and the speechless scene that followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LtHot2GQTc Marlon Brando epic scene from On the Waterfront - YouTube
