I love this Monologue
They say your entire life flashes
in front of your eyes when you die.. It's not really your entire life... It's just the moments that stood out... And they're not the ones you'd expect, either... The moments you remember are tiny ones, some you haven't thought of in years... If you've thought of them at all... But in the last second of your life, you remember them with astonishing clarity... Because they're just so... beautiful... that they must have been imprinted, on like a cellular level... For me it was, lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves from the ginkgo trees that lined our street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new GTO... And the way I felt when Angela first smiled at me... Carolyn... And Janie. And Carolyn's roses.. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure... but don't worry... You will someday. from American Beauty

Indeed quite moving, another monologue of worthy note would be Roy Batty's (played by Rutger Hauer) in the end of Blade Runner. I <3 bladerunner.
"...Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die." *bursts into tears* I'm okay...yup...*sniff*

That movie has some of the greatest quotes, I love this one too:
Ricky Fitts: "It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it right. And this bag was, just, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in. "
