Excellent review Mike....Often said that the best 5 minute acting job i ever saw was Alec Baldwin's speech to the group..."First prize is a Caddilac, 2nd is a set of steak knives, 3rd you are fired'...Here's a clip of that scene...

Another favorite scene of mine is the one from Network...Ned Beatty tells Peter Finch who really runs the world...more truth than fiction...
