These are so hilarious but I feel obligated and embarrassed to admit a good handful of the more melodramatic lines were ones I rather liked when I first saw them.
Some of these movies I almost want to watch now. Not Wicker Man, though. The bees were great, mind you, but even getting it free from my library, I still wouldn’t want to put myself through it. I also see why Travolta’s revolting love song to L. Ron Hubbard got panned, too. Yikes.
Love how almost every word Arnold said in that Batman movie was included. Of course, I don’t find some of these cheesy at all. You can take any climactic words in a love story out of context and it’ll sound pretty damn cheesy. I think about 25% of this is fairly good writing and is just taken out of context. No one writes for those who aren’t engaged in the characters or love story, only for those who are.
What the hell was that at the end? “I’m exhausted.” “Yeah, me too. But, I’m wired. Whattya say we go to my place and I eat your pussy?” hahaha. what!?
Some of these are amazingly cheesy and unintentionally laughable, yes, but others are INTENTIONALLY funny. The screenwriter was clearly attempting to be funny there.
Why did they include things that were MEANT to be wisecracks? :S
They also included a lot of things that were meant to be goofy, like Samuel L.Jackson’s immortal “I’ve had it with these mother—ing snakes on this mother—-ing plane!”.
Daniel Fincke is the founder, owner, and primary blogger of Camels With Hammers. Dan has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University. He wrote his dissertation on Nietzsche’s philosophy and metaethics. At Camels With Hammers he aims to discuss atheism, ethics, religion, Nietzsche, secularism, and general issues in philosophy in ways that are both accessible to non-philosophers and yet stimulating to professional philosophers. He is simultaneously an Adjunct Assistant Professor at both Hofstra University and the City University of New York Hunter College, and also an Adjunct Professor at William Paterson University, Fairfield University, and Fordham University. He has taught at the university level since 2003. His remarks on this blog, of course, do not speak for any of the universities with which he is affiliated.
Until he was 21 he was a devout Evangelical Christian. As an undergraduate, he studied philosophy and minored in religion at Grove City College, which is one of America's most religiously and politically right wing colleges. He became an atheist there during his senior year five months after The Portable Nietzsche dealt what would prove to be the fatal blows to his faith.

Because they are not funny as wisecracks but as lame attempts at wisecracks.
They also included a lot of things that were meant to be goofy, like Samuel L.Jackson’s immortal “I’ve had it with these mother—ing snakes on this mother—-ing plane!”.
the most memorable movie quote that i could think of is the one on Forest Gump ,,”
