So...what movie line do you think is more cringeworthy than any other piece of dialogue ever uttered and committed to celluloid?

For me, it's "Love means never having to say you're sorry," from Love Story (which I haven't seen, thank God).  Not only is it nauseatingly corny, it isn't even TRUE.

Dishonorable mention: "I thought Christmas only came once a year." - Pierce Brosnan in "The World is Not Enough," after getting it on with a nuclear physicist named Christmas Jones.
Correction: the coat hanger should be upside down.

From one of those horrible Airport movies from the 70s.....

"You pilots are such men".
"They dont call it a cockpit for nothing"

Ugh...

From Starship Troopers:

"I can die happy, because I've had you."
The revolution will not be riffed!!

what about ANY line by arnold schwartznegger. ever.

or if you have to add the word bitch, biznatch, bitches or any other version of that word to the end of a line to eilicit a laugh.

"You know what happens to a toad when it gets hit by lightening?"

"Same thing that happens to everything else."




whaaa?




I really do like pie.

How about every line of dialogue that Natalie Portman speaks in Revenge of the Sith?  Of course, my favorite one to reference is "I don't know you anymore!"  Of course, you have to say it in a high-pitched (falsetto if you're a guy), whiny, melodramatically devastated tone of voice for the full effect.

Seconded.  "He's been under a lot of stress lately." 

Perhaps this was the most marked departure of this film from the original trilogy: People have discovered stress since 1977, and Lucas has apparently decided that it cuts across all galaxies. I doubt Star Wars would have taken off the way it did had Han Solo draped his head on the cantina table all, ?Chewy, go see if my Paxil is ready at Walgreens.?

Seconded. I _really_ can't believe that line ever made it past a mere suggestion (for which someone should have been slapped).

There is a line in the Punisher movie where John Travolta's wife says something to the effect of
"You have avenged our sons death......now you must take me." and she drops her robe....
So bad...

Or how about that wonderful snippet from the closing scene of Alien Resurrection:

"You did it. You saved the Earth."

I've never felt and entire audience cringe quite so much.

   I can best yours. How about that scene in Alien 3 when, after everyone has dropped about 100 f-bombs each and every other word has been some other kind of harsh profanity, Sigourney chokes out:

  "They think we're...we're....CRUD!!"

    My head almost exploded.

Natalie Portman as Padm? Amidala in Star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones:

"I truly... deeply... love you."


That's about the most unconvincing line I've ever heard!

Pak-Man

"ICE to see you!" - Mr. Freeze.  And that's why Batman and Robin needs a riffing.

  I'd have to also give props to Star Trek II for one of the worst lines ever. Not in what was said, but HOW it was said. Everyone knows what I'm talking about:

  "KKKAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNN!!!!"
