Let's monologue fellow escapists

[Doctor What]

Well, I just found out that my college holds open tryouts for all their shows. While, I have quite a few monologues in my portfolio, they are more high school orientated. Can you recommend me some good monologues, or even some free websites?

Thanks!

Go super obvious, Hamlet, or anything Shakespeare really...

Uhh.... The speech from "Planes, Trains, and Cars" was kinda cool.

Oooh, I'm bookmarking this! As an actor myself I like to practise monologues, not that they've ever helped me get a role in anything... But yeah, I'll keep an eye out hre, I could do with some good ones to try myself too .

Not sure if this site does monologues but it's worth a stab. [http://en.wikiquote.org/]
It will also suck you in if you look over too many TV shows. It has a MASSIVE archive of things said by famous people, TV and films and games. It's pretty cool.

I used this site when auditioning for a play last year, and its great:

Might I suggest doing a monologue of a film you have not seen though? It will go a lot better if you do.

A speech from Blackadder will get you anywhere in life.

This is one of the greatest monologues in film history. Well, in my opinion, at least.
