I do like that speech, and like the films of Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin...
My all time favorite "speech" are the quips by Colonel Jessup in "A Few Good Men"
Col. Jessep: "Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."
OR
"You see Danny, I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some ******* courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely. "

My favorite speech about freedom is from "A few Good Men". Jack Nicholson being questioned by Tom Cruise, line starts off "You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! . . ." The power and performance of a general caught in a lie and defending what he believes in to the very last stand, was brilliant!!!

Morgan Freeman in Glory when he slaps Denzel Washington's character and tells him how it's gonna be. the whole movie is powerful, but you begin to see Denzel's character start to shift after that scene.

The first time I saw it this speech really made me all choked up and teary eyed! We haven't had a PM in years who would make me do that! I can only compare it with Winston Churchill's speech in the war. We shall fight them on the beaches.... yep another one that makes my throat go tight and my eyes water! lol:-D

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
