This probably deserves some more thought than I can give it right now. The Yoda one certainly ranks up there.

I'd also say these:

"Nemisis" from Snatch:

"All Virginia Was Here On This Day" from Gettysburg:

On a similar note, "You ARE the First Brigade" from Gods and Generals (also a mostly forgettable movie):

"Do not tell me it can not be done" from Pearl Harbor (great moment from an otherwise forgettable movie):

"Baird Man" from Scent of a Woman:

"I Go First" from Rome (ok, a TV show, but this is brilliant):

The devil's long rant in Devil's Advocate. The one where he calls god a sadist and himself a humanist.

Kirk's speech at Spock's funeral in Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan.
Picard's "line must be drawn here" speech in Star Trek First Contact.
The President's speech in Independence Day.
The King's speech before battle and what Gandalf said to Pippin when the Orcs were breaking through in The Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King.
Yoda's Wisdom to Luke in Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
Elizabeth's speech before battle in Pirates Of The Caribbean At World's End.
Any long sentences said by Optimus Prime in the Transformers movies even the not so good Revenge Of The Fallen.

Best Samuel L. Jackson monologue ever

"Police Constable Nicholas Angel: born, schooled in London. Graduated Canterbury University in 1993 with a double first in Politics and Sociology. Attended Hendon College of Police Training and displayed great aptitude in field exercises, notably Urban Pacification and Riot Control. Academically excelled in theoretical coursework and final year examinations. Received the Baton of Honour, graduated with distinction into the Metropolitan Police Service and quickly established an effectiveness and popularity within the community. Proceeded to improve skill base with courses in advanced driving and advanced cycling. Became heavily involved in a number of extra-vocational activities and to this day holds the Met record for the hundred meter dash. In 2001, he began active duty with the renowned SO19 Armed Response Unit and received a Bravery Award for efforts in the resolution of Operation Crackdown. In the last twelve months, he has received nine special commendations, achieved highest arrest record for any officer in the Met and sustained three injuries in the line of duty, most recently in December when wounded by a man dressed as Father Christmas."

in South Pacific [1958], Lieutenant Cable singing "You've got to be carefully taught"-

"You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!"
