Movies like "The Great Debaters" with passionate well written dialogues?

I am fond of movies that have passionate well written dialogues. The last scene of "Scent of a Woman", "Few Good Men" are my absolute favorites. There are many sports movies that have passionate speeches but those are not what I am looking for. The theme (sports) itself dilutes the content of the speech. Because sports is not as grave a matter as a man fighting for freedom or against oppression though there could be few exceptions like "Remember the Titans" as it was about more than just sports.

Glengarry Glen Ross is well worth checking out. A great cast playing desperate real estate guys with a ton of great dialogue. Nearly all of the story takes place in their cramped little office, you can almost smell the cigarette smoke, burnt coffee and stress-sweat…It’s all very tense and then Alec Baldwin shows up to deliver one of the funniest ‘motivational’ monologues you’ve ever heard😄

Classic movie!
