I think the best cheesy lines lend themselves well to continued mocking, though. Look at how Barbra Streisand used that "Love means never having to say you're sorry" line on Ryan O'Neal in What's up, Doc?.
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..."
To me, he made up for The Postman by doing that Oscar skit where Billy Crystal is on the sinking Titanic, says things couldn't get worse, and they pan to Costner in post-apocalyptic mailman gear hanging from the rail and screaming "Yes it can!"

Actually, that's what made me think of it. I just got What's Up Doc?" on DVD.
Scifi Wire talks to Karyn Kusama, the director of the Aeon Flux movie.

And isn't Ryan O'Neal's reply "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard"? Which is what really makes the joke.
Ah, WHAT'S UP DOC. Two of my least favorite actors of all time, yet I love the movie, AND love them in it. They should have stopped at one, though.
Although I've also like Ryan O'Neal in ZERO EFFECT, THE DRIVER and BARRY LYNDON, so maybe he's more context specific. Oh and PAPER MOON. Hmmm. I'll need to rethink that theory.
Sean, I went to the White Heat moment too. Great minds...

It's a great movie. One of the only 70s comedies that can rank with the classic screwball comedies.
Surprisingly I'd rank Foul Play up there too, although I'm merely ambivalent about Goldie Hawn and despise Chevy Chase with every fiber of my being. The movie itself has me breathless with laughter every time I watch it.
Foul Play
is a lot of fun, I need it again. I'm blanking on the actor who played the conductor, he was in
Arthur,
I can see his face in front of me, argh!
Edit: Dudley Moore! It came to me as I hit post
Moved from the
Firefly
thread:
An interview with Summer Glau sadly more spoilery on the first page than I realized.
What's the deal with Cars? I know I wasn't interested in
The Incredibles
based on promo material, but this looks more than uninteresting.
