From one of the greatest Westerns of all time, _Red River_, in three minutes seven different characters give their versions of the same word (no other dialogue insues during that three minutes).

**Yeeehaaa!!!**

From one of the greatest actors of all time, Marlon Brando in a role that changed (for many) movie acting forever as Stanley in _Streetcar Named Desire_.

**Stelllllla!!!**

From perhaps the best fight movie of all time, _Rocky_.

**Adriaaaaaaaaan!!**
