I’m such a sucker for video compilations like this: the 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes of All Time. The ones I knew were amusing; some of the ones I didn’t were absolutely transcendent. A few observations:
– “You sack of wine!” Whoa! I’d heard Troy was bad, but this clip was positively bad-tastic!
– I enjoyed being reminded how ludicrously poor the acting was in the Star Wars prequels. Just what kind of accent is Hayden Christensen attempting here?
– Seeing Tom Hanks do a snippet of Forrest Gump now is just painful. And I was not a hater when the movie came out.
– “Cheese and crackers!” M. Night Shyamalan is such a hack.
– So… much… Schwarzenegger.
– I REALLY want to see Battlefield Earth now. Could it possibly be… the worst movie ever made? Anyone want to join for a viewing?

I don’t know why no one is commenting on this. It’s a gas! I’m ashamed by how many of these films I’ve seen. Thanks for the fun link, LP!!!!
What in god’s name is the movie where James Earl Jones is dressed up like Simba and is threatening to spit leopards?
Thanks, KS! I thought it was pretty fun, too, though there are legions of great cheeseball lines that have been left out. It seems to be a rather random collection, and a few of the lines I thought weren’t really cheesy at all.
Meanwhile, a question for the assembly: Natalie Portman, yea or nay?
Nay. Actually, nay is too strong. It’s more like naah.
The crazy thing is that Steven Seagal comes off better than any of the others.
Now I know why I never saw “Top Gun”–my stomach actually lurched at that one!
