Anything from lord of the rings return of the king.
Oh my God…you are SO right about that line from City of Angels. That whole scene just made me feel squicky with all of Meg Ryan’s incessant yapping. Shoowgirls did have some awesome lines in it — so bad they’re good! My favorite one is safe for work: “I’m a dancer, not a stripper!”
Come on, peeps!! No “Heathers”?!?!?
Dad: I love my dead gay son.
Heather: I got paid in puke.
Veronica: Lick it up, baby. Lick. It. Up.
Showdown in Little Tokyo – Brndon lee to Dulph – ” wanted to tell you, you have the biggest d— I’ve ever seen on a man” – that was uncomfotable
Soilent Green is PEOPLE!!
Actually, worst line ever (and there have been some doozies) was when Amidala fell out of the flying contraption (apologies to my brothers; I neither know nor care what the craft is named), landed in the sand, rolled around a bit and said, “I’m OK.” Argh.
Awww, I love that line from “Pretty Woman”! This list definitely shows a certain cynicism toward romantic dialogue, dontcha think?
I’ve always been partial to a line from “Exorcist II: The Heretic,” possibly the worst sequel ever. And it was uttered by none other than the great James Earl Jones:
“”If Pazuzu comes for you I will spit a leopard.”
What about “Give the people the air” from Total Recall?
Wildecat, I agree. Given only one of my favorite movies (As Good As It Gets) is on this list, but I really wouldn’t say some of these are the worst lines ever. Surely lines of Army of Darkness or Showgirls are a million times worse. Once upon time, before they were played out, some of these lines on the list did their job and made the scene (esp Jerry Maguire). Of course some are totally valid, the dialogue between my beloved Hayden & Natalie in those Star Wars movies almost ruined my love for them. Anakin: “You are so beautiful.” Padame: “It’s only because I’m so in love.” RETCH. But my fave crappy line is from this movie as well, when Obi-Wan & Anakin fight in the final scene. The delivery is God awful. Obi-Wan;”Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil.” Anakin: “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.” WHAT?
Your list was way too modern.
“Anne, mom says you’re not dead!”- House by the cemetery http://www.kindertrauma.com/?p=235
Your list totally fails! You include lines that are meant to be bad (Dirty Dancing) and real-life quotes that are not bad but got turned into jokes by others (A dingo ate my baby). You need lines that are SUPPOSED to be good but are not. And you can not say “Worst Ever” without Plan 9 From Outer Space! Criswell the Psychic: “We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. ”
“Put da bunny down.” Nicholas Cage with the worst southern accent possible!
Cece, no way – just about every line in “Heathers” is completely brilliant. There’s some risible dialogue in a bunch of horror movie sequels…sometimes it’s fun just to watch and laugh.
I don’t want to leave out Nuclear Man from “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace”.
Nuclear Man confronts Superman on the moon and declares: “If you will not tell me where she is, I will hurt people!”
