A British firm posed the question "What are your top three cheesiest moments in film?" to Brit movie-goers as part of a promotion for a new cheese crumpet.
While I'm always willing to help out with marketing efforts, allow me to ask how come Tony Montana's epic bellow "Say hello to my leetle friend!" in Scarface isn't number one?
Earlier in the same film, Robert Loggia's pathetic begging for his life ("Pleeeeeze, don't kill me, Tony!") should have easily been number two in a fair and just world.
And finally, from the incomparable Showgirls:
Pockfaced club owner: "You're a stripper."
A defiant Elizabeth Berkeley: "I'm a dancer!" ... who just happens to lick the occasional pole (no pun intended).
In any event, here's the whole tainted list from CTV.ca:
1. "Titanic": Leonardo DiCaprio's "I'm the king of the world!"
2. "Dirty Dancing": Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
3. "Four Weddings And A Funeral": Andie McDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."
3. "Ghost": Demi Moore's "Ditto." to Patrick Swayze's "I love you."
5. "Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
6. "Notting Hill": Julia Roberts' "I'm just a girl... standing in front of a boy... asking him to love her."
7. "Independence Day": Bill Pullman's "Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"
8. "Braveheart": Mel Gibson's "They may take our lives, but they will not take our freedom!"
9. "Jerry Maguire": Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: "You had me at hello."
10. "The Postman": A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: "You're a godsend, a savior." He replies: "No, I'm a postman."
