7 “Independence Day”: Bill Pullman’s “Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

4 “Ghost”: Demi Moore’s “Ditto,” to Patrick Swayze’s “I love you.”

If this is what they said the quote was, someone goofed. It's the other way around. That's why, when he later tells her (through whoopie) that he loves her, demi says that he would never say that. He then says to tell her "ditto" and she believes that he's there.

1. Star Wars 2 Attack of the Clones.

Anakin "I don't like sand, it's coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere!" He was trying to pick up Natalie Portman with that line and it worked.

Any of the one liners from any Austin Powers movie (see sig below)...

This is from an old movie, "Love Story" with Ryan O Neal and Ali Macgraw from 1970. In the movie they are married, and, after a fight, O Neal comes home and tries to apologize to his wife, and she says:" Love means never having to say you're sorry" Later in the movie, after an estrangement from his father, played by Ray Milland, Ryan O Neal sees him again after many years, after his wife's death. (Hope I didnt give the movie away. It is a good movie, abit sad) When the father expresses his condolences on the wife's passing, Ryan O Neal cuts him off in mid sentence and utters the same "Love means never having to say you're sorry"
To me, I never liked that line. It is cheesy, and shows no responsibility. In real life, if you love someone, admitting accountablility and fault for actions, and trying to change them is important. If not, no lessons are learned from mistakes. Overall, I always liked the movie, but couldnt stand that line. Alas!
Has anyone else in the forum seen this movie? If so, I would be interested to hear feedback on what people thought of that line.

There was an old Batman movie, with Adam West, called the Big Case or something like that. Here are some of the ultra cheese found within.

Robin: "Gosh, Batman. The nobility of the almost-human porpoise."
Batman: "True, Robin. It was noble of that animal to hurl himself into the path of that final torpedo. He gave his life for ours."

Robin, analyzing clues: "Banana. Russian. I've got it! Someone Russian is gonna slip on a banana peel and break their neck!"
Batman: "Precisely, Robin. The only possible meaning."

From the movie They Live....Roddey Piper...

I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and i'm all out of bubblegum.

Yep, I saw that movie, and that line always bugged me too. Love can mean many things, but I never thought that was one of them. I get the idea of it - that when you love someone you can forgive just about anything automatically, and that's sweet (if a little naive), but I agree with you about responsibility being necessary.

At the end of the day though, it's only a cheesy movie.

i have always said that the line from dirty dancing is the worst..."nobody puts baby in the corner". well obviously someone did, patrick!

LMAO!!

But I can imagine it would have the same "breeding ground for Jewish teens" feel and exaggerated class system of "Oh, you're not going to be a lawyer/doctor/accountant? Well then you certainly can't f*ck my daughter."

 

[the_Baron]

i see you've been there too. did we share some corned beef in the summer of 76' ?

 

[He-Man]

"Holy rusted metal, Batman!"
"...What?"
"The ground, it's metal..full of holes. Ya know..holey.."

"Hi, Freeze! I'm Batman!" (just the way he SAID that was cheesy.."


"I want a car..chicks dig the car!"
"....This is why Superman works alone." (although it was cheesy, that was still a good line..although I don't think the current Batman in the comics would actually SAY that..he'd just think that line. )

The whole "with the power of Ninjetti, we can do anything speach" Tommy made in Power Rangers: The Movie, before they restored the Command Center and brought Zordon back to life.

Also from the PR movie: "You ooze, you loose!" (said by Billy Cranston, aka the Blue Ranger as he finished off one Ooze Man)

Reported on the Today show.

4 “Ghost”: Demi Moore’s “Ditto,” to Patrick Swayze’s “I<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=Love&id=31';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> love </a>you.”

5 “Top Gun”: Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: “You can be my wingman anytime”

9 “Jerry Maguire”: Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: “You had me at hello.”

Ok, so I'm cheesy but these are some of my favorites... and the Ghost quote is accurate. It's right at the end of the movie before he "goes in to the light" (I know, cheesy, still makes me cry)

There was another line from "The Postman" that had movie critics everywhere in stitches:

"Hey...it's getting better."

Of coarse Kevin Costner was refering to the futuristic society.

Grrrrrrr!

I dispute some of those choices! I dig some of those movies! And I can't BELIEVE that what's-her-face's Ultimate Worst Line Ever Said In Any Movie In Motion Picture History didn't make the list... In the first X-Men movie, when Storm asks Toad if he knows 'what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning'...

...'the same thing as everything else.'

ARGH! Ya gotta be $#*ttin' me!

Now now, if you're going to quote the Worst Line Of All Time (tm), at least quote it properly big D:

"the same thing that... that.... LINE! Oh right... that happens to ev-ery-thing else."

Halle Berry, Robot in Disguise version 0.2

Actually, my "worst... line... ever" (what DID we do for reference material before the Simpsons anyway?) is a weird one. From Army Of Darkness (or Evil Dead 3 if you prefer): "I'm not that good". The weird is because it's part of the directors cut, isn't delivered well by Bruce Campbell (a real rarity) and worst of all replaces the classic line "Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun".

 

[sceej56]

Not sure that it's "cheesy" - it got a laugh out of me - and I've seen it called the worst pickup line in history - form the movie "Suburbia"

Skinhead Punk (deadpan) - "I think I'd like to fuck your brains out!"

Girl in frilly pink dress (can't hear due to loud band) - "What?"

Skinhead Punk (deadpan) - "I said 'I think I'd like to fuck your brains out!'."

Girl (indignant) - "Oh you would, huh?"

Skinhead Punk (still deadpan) - "Yeah ... but it looks like you don't have any."

Ann

Just before Sam departs for Heaven he tells Molly he loves her and she grins through her tears and replies with "ditto". Kind of a quirky last liner for them, before he leaves her.

Ray

Yes o'wise man, but the whole point of those movies is to be pure dairy from beginning to end.😉

 

[BigJim]

In retrospect, the entire script of Rambo III.

Trautman is captured by Russians in Afghanistan and gives the Russian colonel a bit "I live in the free and fair world" speech about what a total bastard his country has been to the Afghan people and how the Mudjahadeen are wonderful freedom fighters.

Kind of funny that we now have Russians saying the same things to Americans.

Nah I think one in "catwoman" was worse

villan: "Game over"
crapwoman, er i mean..catwoman: "it's overtime!"

(if that wasn't worse than the X-Men line, it's at least just as stupid)

 

[WraithTickler]

Ow... I think reading this thread has caused my brain to go smooth.

 

[Dave2112]

Not sure if it counts as "chessy", but this is a line I love from Helena Bonham carter in Fight Club:

"I haven't been fucked like that since Grade School!"

Gets me every time. 😎

 

[buggs]

It may not be cheesey, but it has always bothered me. True Lies. Arnold and Bill Paxton in the car, and paxton describes his wife with this line:

"Ass like a ten year old boy!"

I heard that and went "Damn that is so wrong". Jay Leno even gave him crap about it when he was on the show promoting the movie. Paxton said he was just told to ad lib and it jsut came out. And as it was coming out of his mouth he was saying "What the hell am I saying?" But Cameron loved it and kept it in.

He Man. Yor forgot this line from Batman and Robin that the audience I watched it with saw it coming from a mile away, and even yelled it before Arnold said it. I saw this movie in the first showing on opening day so it wasn't a case of people had already seen the movie.

"Take two of these, and call me in the morning"

Damn. I do agree with you about the "This is why Superman works alone" he would have either just thought it, or if he had said it, it would have been very gruff, shaking his head, to himself after he got into his car. And it would have been delivered in a "Why the hell do I even have him around" tone.

And probably two of my favorite movies for the writing. Ford Fairlane and Glengary Glennross.

Ford Fairlane pulling his car to a stop in front of a party thrown by Wayne Newton and looking at a shark being barbacued on a spit:

"Oh man do I fucken' hate da rich!"

Girl: "So do you think there was like foul play and stuff?"

Ford: "I'll tell you when someone pays me to give a shit and stuff."

And answering the cell phone during a car chase and thinking it is the bad guy calling him.

Ford: "Fuck you you dirt bag piece of shit!"

And when he walks into Johnny Crunches Yacht and steps on a dildo that puffs up and squeeks:

"Loooove Booooaaat. Takin' another run."

Ford: "And don't give me that 'Don't play games with me Mr fairlane' bullshit.

Wayne Newton: "Don't play games with me Mr. Fairlane"

Ford: "Ahhhhh."

Ford: "I could have been a fisherman. I could have been the fisherman's detective. How hard can that be huh? 'Hey Ford! some one stole my tackle box!' 'Hey Ford! Someone sabotaged my bate!'"

And later

Ford: "I could have been a fisherman. The cook fish. They eat fish. They smell like fish. Reminds me of this girl named Yvonne. She smelled like fish."

And Glengary Glenross. Damn. Brilliant. Never could you see the word "Fu*k" said more in one movie than that movie. And it never seemed forced or out of place. I worked in a place with a group of guys that were like that, and talked like that all the time. Mammet really hit the mark on the head when he wrote that one.
