I thought "No one puts Baby in the corner" was going to be the line when I first saw Dirty Dancing.

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
How did Titanic not make that list???
"You jump, I jump."
"Jack I want you to draw me like one of your French girls. Wearing this. wearing only this."
"so this is the ship they say is unsinkable."
I have to admit I love that movie  but the dialogue is pretty cheesy.
BTW, that I'm just a girl line from Notting Hill turned me off the whole film!

 Such a bad line! Along with the whole "Kellerman's" anthem they sing at the end!

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
I didn't see the movie, but based on the trailer I'm guessing every line from Snakes on a Plane could have made this list. Seemed like it was Sam Jackson saying over and over "It's mother-freaking snakes on a plane."

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
I love any movie, where the earth is on the verge of being annhialated and then the President of the United States (because we are the protectors of the entire planet) utters those famous words, "God help us all"
Stuff it, ya geezer!

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
I agree with most of these. I disagree with the Dirty Dancing one though, not because it's not a dumb line but because in this example even though the dialogue may sound dumb out of context it fit the character perfectly. Baby was so excited to go to that dance she just blurted out the first thing on her mind- totally in character and totally something I think most people have done in the past when they were nervous or excited.

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
The worst line from Dirty Dancing was:
"YOU'RE WILD!!!"
In fact, it may be the worst line in the history of movies.

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
Just by seeing the thread title alone I KNEW there had to be a Star Wars quote in there! The last three movies have HEINOUS dialogue!
I mean, how many times do they have to say "I have a bad feeling about this"?

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
How about the line from "Ghost".
Dead Sam: "I love you Molly, I really love you"
Stupid Molly: "Ditto"

actually, that is a running line in ALL of the Star Wars films. At least one character, in all 6 of the movies, says it. Not that that makes it any better...

THE MOVIE: Jerry Maguire (1996)
THE SCENE: The hard-hearted sports agent (Tom Cruise) drops his emotional armor and declares his love for Dorothy (Renée Zellweger) in front of all of her friends.
THE LINE: ''You complete me.
This is #1 on my list. It doesn't help that I have heard people say it in other shows too. 
I alos thought the Dirty Dancing line would be "nobody backs baby into a corner."

Re: Worst Movie Dialogue ever
I like the movie Notting Hill, but that line WAS HORRIBLE!!!! Every time I watch that movie, I cringe during that line!
And the "I carried a watermelon" line from Dirty Dancing is a classic! That CRACKS me up every time - she was such a dork and it fit her character perfectly!
