I was watching Anaconda with Jon Voight and J-Lo (I know, what was I expecting)...
And after the captain had been eaten they all turned on Jon Voight's character, who responded in the worst accent..."Please people, don't make me out a monster. I didn't eat the captain Mateo"
Now it doesn't sound so bad when reading it, but it was literally one of those. What? Why? What? moments where I couldn't stop laughing and had to rewind it.
So, got me thinking...

Sounds like Derek Acorah could get a few tips from Forest Whitaker
Coincidently they happened to have brought a 'High hide' with them for the trip.
Dennis Hopper: You think I'm going to tell you that?
Keanu Reeves: Yes.
(Book: You'll never eat lunch in this town again, by Julia Phillips, a great read. She is extremely and unbelievably nasty about Trauffaut when he was acting in Close Encounters .......).
Moments after Kimberley is revived, her love interest strokes her forehead and says, "Thanks to you, we cheated death". Then a strange blast of sunlight appears from nowhere
When the little girl says to Lucy 'I want to grow up to be just like you' and Lucy says 'no, you want to grow up to be just like YOU' now that's a real cringeworthy moment! Also, every single one of Aslan's lines, delivered so flat by Liam Neeson, anyone would think he'd done them all in one go in a sound booth with no-one else there.........dreadful acting, script and direction.
that was a badass line Virgil!
The banging on the door stops and one of the girls says "Do you thinkn he's gone?", refering to Jason.
Another girl says "Why don;t you stick your head out and take a peek?".
Jason sticks a knife into one of the soldiers who says "It will take more than a small poke in the ribs to take down this old dog"
Jason pushes the knife the rest of the way through and the soldier says ... "That'll do it"
Ah, but the genuine but no less funny french accent makes it good.
Thats a hell of a lotta fish-Godzilla said by Matthew Broderick when they are trying to lure Godzilla away:D
Yeah, whackhead tried to play baseball with my homeboy's bike!
Drop that zero and get with the hero!
I'm gonna go across the street and, uh, schling a schlong
When in Paris Ilsa says to Rick: "Is that gunfire or the sound of my heart beating?"
Rick says "That's the new German 77. Probably not more than a few miles away by the sound of them." Or words to that effect. I think it's just so incredibly unromantic
Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.
Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.
Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Padmé: So love has blinded you?
Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
Padmé: But it's probably true.
I think it makes perfect sense. It's still crap dialogue, though!
We're all fine here.. thank you....... how are you?
I just love the way Ford delivers it, especially the wince....
'Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed' from Four Weddings not been mentioned so far.
Awful line, delivered awfully by an awful actress
Ewwww ewwww ewww. Followed by "There comes a point when you can't get any wetter."
Love the film but you are right she's a dreadful dreadful actress.
I'd like to also add to the list a line from Sleepy Hollow where Johnny Depp's character says something along the lines of "There is a little witch inside of you because you have bewitched me."
Awful cringeworthy line.
The kind of lines I particularly hate is usually when the protaganist is just about to escape from a dangerous or life-threatening situation, but still finds the time to pause and exchange a witty line with his (usually female) colleague before, hand in hand, they hurl themselves from the bridge into the river below, for example.
Soooooooooo fake. I've scripted for TV and radio so I know the score, but it's amazing how much of this awful dialogue gets into movies.
I also loathe the lines of dialogue that sum up the premise or a theme of the movie, lines that are specifically put into the script so they can used in the trailer. A lot of producers specifically request 'trailer dialogue' in final drafts. The moment I hear such a line, I cringe.
In fact virtually every line in the movie is cheestastic - must be why I love it so much.
Nut up or Shut up !
