How about Biff's angry/hurt monologue from "Death of a Salesman," where he talks about stealing the pen.

Toward the end of "Love! Valour! Compassion!", John has a meaty monologue that has him switching between himself and his twin, James.

Byck's Nixon monologue from Assassins? It's got some funny, but also anger and hurt. Plus a Nixon imitation--what could be better?

Find the script for the film "Network." The "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more"monologue.

At the start of "Burn This," there's a great angry male monologue. I think that John Maklevitch did it.

The opening monologue that Victor Buono delivers in the first scene of the movie Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is just what you want. He's ranting against the married lover of his daughter Charlotte.

If you can go beyond plays and are wired toward something slightly controversial and political, nothing beats Jeff Daniels opening diatribe from the Newsroom...

I feel like Eric Bogosian would have a ton. He's written a lot of monologue-type material, and I feel like he has often played an angry/hurt man.

He isn't my personal favorite, but I'd bet for what you need he's worth looking at.

Neil Labute has a bunch of 'em. One recent one that's fun, although it goes on too long IMHO, is at the climax of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike."
