The best movie speeches captivate our minds and hearts to make us weep, laugh and think. Each week, explore one great speech and the character who moves us. We will unpack the context of speech within the film, the character and their motivation, and the speech itself for its emotional, intellectual and artistic appeal. Join us for a feast of movie speeches at lunchtime.
