100 cheesy movie quotes.



I'll let you decide if they're the "cheesiest... of all time." Nearly all are post-1980, so it seems unlikely.

All 100 of the cheesiest movie quotes of all time can be found in the Anakin/Padme scenes from the Star Wars prequels.

Some are just bad, some are so bad they are good. And some are so very, very bad they are timeless.

The guy was kind of lazy though concentrating on a few movies and a few stars. There are so many more bad ones out there if one has the time and inclination to look.

The Drill SGT ayon kay ...

TWM said, lots of repeats... yeah I agree. Of what's there I vote for:

Love means never having to say you are sorry.

I do like:

Get off my Plane

I didnt see a couple of others that I like such as:

Hello Boys, I'm back :)

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

john ayon kay ...

Didn't Ali McGraw get the lifetime achievment award for this a long time ago?

I thought they even retired her number.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

L. Ron Hubbard just turned over in his grave.

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

I was holding my breath until it was over fearing that a Bob Dylan verse made it in. There must be some kinda way out a these movie quotes said the joker to the thief.

John Burgess ayon kay ...

"I'm getting to old for this shit" is not a cheesy line. It is a fundamental truth.

WV: oammogm Even Word Verification recognizes the truth.

Unknown ayon kay ...

The Governator quotes, except for Mr Freeze, were the screenwriters' attempts to turn Arnie into Sean Connery and, in their own weird way, funny.

The rest were more lame than cheesy, but "We will dine in Hell" isn't cheesy, it's Herodotus.

PS As for great lines, it's hard to beat, "You know the difference between money and glory? When you die, you get to take glory with you", and, "Walking through life with you, madam, has been a very gracious thing". Both from an otherwise cheesy movie, "They Died With Their Boots On".

blake ayon kay ...

Typically lazy magazine/Internet list.

"Hey, everyone hates Batman and Robin, Revenge of the Sith and Battlefield Earth, we should make a list."

Shark Attack 3 and Plan 9 from Outer Space really bring that home. In a 100 or so years of movies, let's say 80 of talkies, there have been tens of thousands of low budget movies with wall-to-wall cheese.

I dispute the use of the word "cheesy", too. A lot of these lines don't really qualify as cheesy.

Love means never having to say you're sorry is probably the cheesiest; it's something a writer would write an attempt to be profound.

You had me at hello, maybe, too?

A lot of the lines are more obnoxious than cheesy, like Ronny Cox's "home for cornflakes" line in Total Recall and "take you home and eat your..." from Shark Attack 3.

blake ayon kay ...

Well, that raises an interesting point: Clint Eastwood's line weren't any less cheesy than Arnold's. Some of them were cleverer, but "Do you feel lucky, punk?", "A man's got to know his limitations" and "Make my day" are at least as cheesy as "I lied."

Flyover Pilgrim ayon kay ...

The line from Lord of the Rings isn't cheesy...c'mon.

The Dude ayon kay ...

Cheesy, yet funny.

Are you a Mexi-can, or a Mexi-can't?

It's not a tumah!

A box of chocolates!

I lied!

Everybody can change!

Cheese and crackers!

Nice tits!

Snakes!

You complete me! Okay, that one made me puke.

It's amazing how many of those were delivered by Schwarzenegger. And Julia Roberts shows up a couple of times. That smarmy little cult guy has a few, too. No wonder they are paid millions - they have to be highly compensated to speak lines that bad.

Yeah, there was a lot of cheese there. Does this mean Green Bay wins the Super Bowl?

WV: dedic - the biggest one he ever saw on a man was mentioned...

rcocean ayon kay ...

Sorry, but I liked the line:

I ain't got time to bleed

But then I like Cheese, especially Rochefort.

tim maguire ayon kay ...

Most are bad, but this guy apparently has a different definition of cheesy than I do. And some of them are fine, even good.

ErnieG ayon kay ...

What about John Wayne's greatest cheesy line: "You're beautiful in yer wrath."

madAsHell ayon kay ...

Is there sumthin' wrong with me?

"What if I take you home, and eat your pussy?"

That line actually works! I'm still married to her!

w/v: hydro - I dunno...it just seems appropriate

madAsHell ayon kay ...

30 years in March!

oh, yeah....2 kids as well. Soooo... I have other talents as well!

PaulV ayon kay ...

"I have a sty in my eye from your thigh"

WV: loseati

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Yonder lies the castle of my fadder.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

They call me Mr. Tibbs.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Dracula: You shall pay, black prince. I shall place a curse of suffering on you that will doom you to a living hell. I curse you with my name. You shall be... Blacula!
(Blackula, 1972)

R.L. Hunter ayon kay ...

Florida said...

L. Ron Hubbard just turned over in his grave.

No, he's sitting in hell laughing his ass off.

Peter Hoh ayon kay ...

Does this have anything to do with the Packers making it to the Super Bowl?

Gotta get back to helping the kid with homework, so no time to view.

Did they include a line from A Grand Day Out?

"Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!"

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Al Torres: It must be weird, not having anybody cum on you.
(Showgirls 1995)

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Video Director: We ask ourselves, is she black? Is she white? We don't care. She's exotic. I want to see more of her breasts.
(Glitter, 2001)

Irene ayon kay ...

"Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Ford Fairlane: Hey, great pipes, huh? I've heard cats fuck with more harmony
(Adventures of Ford Fairlane, 1990)

Quaestor ayon kay ...

What's really, REALLY sickening is that the quote from Plan 9 from Outer Space is not the cheesiest of the 100 by far.

Irene ayon kay ...

Soylent green is people.

Wince ayon kay ...

"What the shit are we gonna do? Aw, this sucks."

Unknown ayon kay ...

Trooper York said...

They call me Mr. Tibbs.

Disagree.

Poitier is answering Steiger's, "Whadda they call you, boy?".

Not cheesy; in its context, powerful.

Irene said...

"Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

Or:

"Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

From "Who Framed Roger You-know-who".

And it was.

Irene ayon kay ...

edutcher, that's funny!

I had not thought about Roger Rabbit in years. Or Kathleen Turner.

Revenant ayon kay ...

Hey! It has a scene from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. The worst movie I've ever seen.

But it was all worth it, because it was preceded by the best trailer I have ever seen.

DADvocate ayon kay ...

Sorry, I like the cheesy Arnold quotes. Arnold's next line after "I lied" is better (more cheesy). After dropping the guy off the cliff, Arnold gets in the car with Rae Dawn Chong and she asks Arnold what he did with the guy. Arnold replies, "I let him go." Classic Arnold. As TWM said, so bad they are good.

rcocean ayon kay ...

You can't beat "Inherit the Wind" for cheesy dialog. To whit:

-Henry Drummond: Mr. Brady, why do you deny the one thing that sets above the other animals? What other merit have we? The elephant is larger, the horse stronger and swifter, the butterfly more beautiful, the mosquito more prolific, even the sponge is more durable. Or does a sponge think?

-Matthew Harrison Brady: I don't know. I'm a man, not a sponge!

-Henry Drummond: Do you think a sponge thinks?

-Matthew Harrison Brady: If the Lord wishes a sponge to think, it thinks!

-Henry Drummond: Does a man have the same privilege as a sponge?

-Matthew Harrison Brady: Of course!

-Henry Drummond: [Gesturing towards the defendant, Bertram Cates] Then this man wishes to have the same privilege of a sponge...

Harry ayon kay ...

The line from They Live!, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum," is the only good line in the movie, and it was written by the movie's pro-wrestling star, Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Ah, Dark City. The Matrix before the Matrix.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Are you a Mexican or a Mexican't.

Really, that's the worst one of the bunch. It doesn't get cheesier than that.

Alex ayon kay ...

I still want another thread on Chinese "Tiger moms". That seems to have hit a national chord!

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

"They may take our lives but they will never take our freedom." What an embarrassing line.

Bender ayon kay ...

OK, I counted about FIVE lines that would qualify as "cheesy." Some of the others were just bad, some badly delivered, some were actually good, but most left me wondering why would someone waste his time bothering to collect such unmemorable lines.

But the winner is, of course, the asininity that is "Love means never having to say you are sorry."

Revenant ayon kay ...

Every time Gibson yells "FREEDOM" in that movie, I wince.

AST ayon kay ...

Where was "Tomorrow IS another day!" from Gone With the Wind?

Lance ayon kay ...

Lame list. All those Star Wars quotes and they miss the very worst line of all...

"It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber."

I still wonder how much extra Lucas had to pay to get Christopher Lee to mouth that awful line.

AST ayon kay ...

Have some Cheese, Rat!

AST ayon kay ...

Frankly, My Dear, I don't watch that many movies, especially not that many with this much profanity.

I do like that quote from Conan, though.

Man and Van ayon kay ...

Toad Trend ayon kay ...

"You complete me"

From Jerry Maguire.

Cheesiest. Evah.

lemondog ayon kay ...

Kids play and so boooooooooring. Couldn't watch it all.

Nothing beats the classy cheesiest of cheesy, the roquefort of all time

Jerry, don't lets ask for the moon, we have the stars

Shanna ayon kay ...

What's cheesy about "I"m just a cook"? Under Siege is the best.

Shanna ayon kay ...

Also, Braveheart but no Dirty Dancing? (nobody puts baby in a corner!!!)

blake ayon kay ...

Shanna,

"Nobody puts baby in a corner" was in there.

Shanna ayon kay ...

"Nobody puts baby in a corner" was in there"

Really? I missed it somehow.

X ayon kay ...

thanks for spoiling The Black Shield of Falworth for me Trooper. I had that in my netfilx queue.

Ed:

"..PS As for great lines, it's hard to beat, "You know the difference between money and glory? When you die, you get to take glory with you", and, "Walking through life with you, madam, has been a very gracious thing". Both from an otherwise cheesy movie, "They Died With Their Boots On".."

agree on your quotes but have to add...
'Fight, you wolverines!. First Michigan, charge!'. Same movie, not quite as memorable a quote but an electrifying moment. I don't consider it a cheesy movie but a historical hash.

X ayon kay ...

I was watching The Flame and Citron the other night. Couldn't believe it when the SS head said to Bent: "we're the same"

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Conan stole it form....

"The Greatest Happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you. To see his cities reduced to ashes. To see those who love him shrouded and in tears. And to gather to your bosom his wives and daughters."
-Genghis Khan

Known Unknown ayon kay ...

"I was watching The Flame and Citron the other night. Couldn't believe it when the SS head said to Bent: "we're the same"

I just watched this the other night too! Very good film.

Bob From Ohio ayon kay ...

"Pain don't hurt."

Perhaps the best movie line ever.

knox ayon kay ...

The entire movie "Troy" is one long cheesy quote.

It's so sublimely bad it's good.

knox ayon kay ...

Worth watching just for the accents.

Loren ayon kay ...

I couldn't spend the 10 minutes, but glad the "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" was in there. It is the cheez-wiz in a cheesy contest.

Revenant ayon kay ...

I still wonder how much extra Lucas had to pay to get Christopher Lee to mouth that awful line.

Lee built his career on cheesy B movies. I doubt getting him to mouth horrible dialogue is a problem.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

"You complete me"

That's also what Dr. Evil said to his Mini-me.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

great choice for movies i loved it
man and van

Unknown ayon kay ...

Those are the one mine always favourite. Man And Van
