Armageddon: (When the team are about to set off, and the president addresses the whole world on the situation)

President: I address you tonight, not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of the country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The bible calls this day 'Armageddon'. The end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, the species has the technology to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us need to know that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster is being called into service. The human thirst for excellence, knowledge, every step of the ladder of science, every... adventurous reach into space, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, even the wars that we have fought have provided us the tools to wage the terrible battle. Through all the chaos that is our history books, through all of the wrongs... and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, through all of our times... there is one thing that has nourished our souls and elevated our species above its origin. And that is our courage. Tonight the hopes and dreams of an entire planet are focused on the fourteen brave souls traveling into the heavens. May we all see the events through with the dignity and perseverance worthy of such a challenge. Good night and Godspeed

Armageddon: (This is not really a speech, but I find this the most touching part of the whole movie. When the team returns home, the badge which Bruce Willis tore off his shirt, before he went off to do manual detonation of the bomb, is shown to all)

NASA Badge: For all of mankind

A Beautiful Mind: (John Nash's Thank you speech at the Nobel Prize ceremony to his wife Alicia)

Nash: Thank you. I've always believed in numbers; and the equations and logics that lead to reason. But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask, "What truly is logic? Who decides reason?" My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional -- and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life: It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. (his wife, Alicia) You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons.

Apollo 13: (When the Tiger team was still panicking on the outcome of the Apollo13 failure, Gene Kranz said his famous speech)

Kranz: "I don't care what anything was designed to do. I care about what it can do. I want this mark, all the way back to Earth, with time to spare. We have never lost an American in space, and we sure are not going to lose one on my shift. Failure is not an option!"
