So you are watching a movie… and one of the characters utters a line that really felt too cheesy for the moment and you say to yourself “oh, come on.. surely you can do better than that!!!”. Well, someone’s been keeping track of it all.
British baker Warburtons posed the question “What are your top three cheesiest moments in film?” to 2,000 U.K. moviegoers in celebration of the launch of their new cheese-flavored crumpets.
Warburtons reports that surveyed women opted for romantic comedy moments from films such as “Notting Hill” and “Jerry Maguire” and men preferred silly scenes from action flicks like “Top Gun” and “Braveheart.”
Despite the gender divide, 33 percent of the overall vote unanimously agreed on the “Titanic” yell as the cheesiest moment.
The list of big cheese moments:
“Titanic”: Leonardo DiCaprio’s “I’m the king of the world!”
“Dirty Dancing”: Patrick Swayze’s “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
“Four Weddings And A Funeral”: Andie McDowell’s “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed.”
“Ghost”: Demi Moore’s “Ditto,” to Patrick Swayze’s “I love you.”
“Top Gun”: Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: “You can be my wingman anytime.”
“Notting Hill”: Julia Roberts’ “I’m just a girl … standing in front of a boy … asking him to love her.”
“Independence Day”: Bill Pullman’s “Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
“Braveheart”: Mel Gibson’s “They may take our lives, but they will not take our freedom!”
“Jerry Maguire”: Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: “You had me at hello.”
“The Postman”: A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: “You’re a godsend, a savior.” He replies: “No, I’m a postman.”
i always use the Jerry Maguire line when i get sick of people telling me a story! They laugh at you - stop telling the annoying story - and don't even realize what you've done.
7 is so damn cheesy, I remeber watching that when I was like in Junior High and thinking it was a great drama or something, I suppose I was’nt that developed in my movie critiquing abilities at the time.

Chessy? That's a brilliant piece of comedy.
"Alexander" should get a mention. His entire childhood, as portrayed by the movie, was a bunch of lines junior high playwrights would be embarrassed to write.
