Cheesiest Movie Moments

March 30, 2005

2,000 British moviegoers were recently asked to identify the top three cheesiest moments in film. (The survey was conducted late last year by the British bakery Warburtons, in celebration of the launch of their new cheese-flavored crumpets, aptly enough.)

The most popular responses were:

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.”

According to Warburtons, women opted for moments from romantic comedies, while men preferred silly scenes from action flicks. Not so surprising, really. What is surprising is that the “wearing this–wearing only this” moment from Titanic didn’t make the top ten. That would’ve been my #1 for sure…
