With hours to go before the first match starts in the FIFA World Cup 2010 the DVD rental business, LoveFilm, has announced the winners of a customer competition. It’s a competition to find the top ten motivating speeches from the movies of all time.
Motivating Speeches From The Movies For England 2010
According to their customers the top ten motivating speeches are:
LoveFilm has announced that it’s sent the England Football team manager, Fabio Capello, copies of each DVD. A good move. But I’m sure that Mr Capello has already worked through several drafts of his own motivating speeches!
Is this the right list? Probably for a modern UK or American audience it’s right. Because it’s certainly a modern list…with the oldest film being the 1985 movie, “The Goonies.”
Would you have included Paul Scofield’s 1966 performance in “A Man for All Seasons”? Or how about, Laurence Olivier’s 1944 performance in Henry V? Or how about something from the rich culture of Italy…with the subtitles, obviously.
Earlier in the month we reported how President Obama had given a world cup speech to the USA team. Perhaps he could have borrowed from a similar list?

I didn’t quite follow this when I first read it. But when I went through it a third time, it all started to make sense. Thanks for the idea. Absolutely something to think about.
I have come accross many unique articles/Posts saying great and negative things about this actor…but if we put all the personal life style choices behind…you can not deny the quality and skill of the acting..its just remarkable
