What is the longest speech in a movie?!
Question: I recently watched "The Fountainhead" (1949) in which Gary Cooper delivered a 6-minute monologue near the end of the movie.
I read that this was the longest speech in film history at that time.
What are some movies shot since that time that include a longer speech.

In "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", James Stewart's character delivers a filibuster.
I checked but couldn't find a length posted anywhere, and it's been far too long since I've watched it.
How about George C. Scott in Patton
I'd suggest Disraeli in "The Mudlark."
Well, I know the 'kept the watch in his butt' speech by Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction was pretty long...
