Seriously? "I'm kind of the world!" is cheesier than "I will never let go"?
Maybe there's an extra bonus cheese factor since James Cameron repeated the line when accepting his Oscar.
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"I'm the king of the world" is so immediately identifiable -- I never hear it without thinking of Titanic. As someone who's never actually seen the movie, I had no idea "I will never let go" was from it. I think sticking out gains points.
5. "Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
There was fic about this, right?
Probably, but it's famous cos it's the line Tarantino misquotes (as "you can ride my tail anytime") in the gay Top Gun speech in Sleep With Me.

Dude, that line is SO not cheesy! Because it's immediately followed by "Bullshit. *You* can be *mine.*"

Brought the slash early, did it?

"Love means never having to say you're sorry." IJS.

Such a fabulous movie moment, that.
(Signed, has owned Sleep With Me on VHS and DVD, and still knows all the lines.)
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." IJS.
I think this line has been rescued from cheesiness by the fact that it can be turned into so many different kinds of wrong. My favorite being "Love means always having to say you're sorry." Or, "Love means never having to say you look fat in that dress."
Calli, Frank.... If they make A Lion In Winter with Pauly Shore and an Olsen twin, I'm blaming both of you.
I haven't seen the film, but I feel "They wore hats," which had me collapsing in giggles every time I saw the trailer, deserves at least an honorable mention.
Oh, Jess.... You need to see it for the BADNESS!
"I'm the king of the world" is so immediately identifiable -- I never hear it without thinking of Titanic.
Actually, even having seen Titanic several times, whenever I hear the line, I actually think of Jimmy Cagney's line in White Heat (where he plays a hard core killer), just before he EXPLODES.
(Actually, Cagney's line is "Top of the world," but both characters dedicate their declarations to their mothers. I never understood why Cameron chose to echo that particular line. I suspect he'd never seen White Heat)
Oh, Jess.... You need to see it for the BADNESS!
Oh yes. So many scenes are laughable.
