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?
Seriously? "I'm kind of the world!" is cheesier than "I will never let go"?
"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.)

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 yes. So many scenes are laughable.
So many scenes are laughable.
I've only seen the parody on The Simpsons. Lisa walks by a demo of the DVD's "director's commentary" function. The entire commentary is Costner saying: "I am sorry. I am so,
so
sorry..."
The entire commentary is Costner saying: "I am sorry. I am so, so sorry..."
Then it turns out that it's not a commentary on the DVD, but Kevin Costner standing behind the TV.
