#30. Suicide Squad
No, this isn’t some Tumblr post made by an emo thirteen-year-old, this is an actual quote from the terrible failure that was Suicide Squad. The whole movie had its issues, from the ridiculous storyline to the fake-deep dialogues.
On one scene, we have the character of Harley Quinn, explaining how being normal is sooo overrated that it’s just simply a setting on the dryer. Ugh, it’s cringy just to read it, isn’t it? No wonder the movie flopped.
#29. The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender was a slap in the face to the fans of the show for many reasons. The characters were whitewashed, the plot didn’t make any sense, and obviously, the script was an abomination.
In one scene, they make an attempt to make Princess Yue sound smart and deep when she says they believe in their beliefs as much as other believers believe in their beliefs. Try saying that five times.
#28. The Wicker Man
It may come as a surprise that this isn’t a line from Winnie The Pooh. The truth is that The Wicker Man is one of the worst films ever made and it became a cult classic for many reasons: very, very bad acting – especially from Academy Award winner Nicholas Cage -, a confusing and awful plot, and of course, the script.
The plot involves a sort of cult of women who need honey to make their village thrive, and so they need to kidnap men and sacrifice them – or something like that. Anyway, this line is one of the best.
#27. Hard To Kill
Hard to Kill is a classic action film starring a young Steven Seagal back when he was actually decent at what he did. However, the script he was given didn’t make it easy for him, and we can’t believe he kept a straight face when delivering this line.
To provide some context, he is watching a TV commercial of his enemy, whose campaign slogan is “You can take that to the bank!“, to which Seagal responds with this clever little line that he says to a TV where nobody can hear him.
#26. Jack Reacher
There’s no denying that Tom Cruise is one of the best action heroes in Hollywood, but this particular line in Jack Reacher is very, very stupid. It delivers some character exposition in a very cheesy way that just seems off.
Although he looks very serious when he’s saying it, it just sounds very over-dramatic and silly. While what he’s saying is true, you expect these things to come up on their own instead of having characters literally describe themselves to the audience.
#25. Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
This quote from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire doesn’t seem bad at first glance – unless you’re a true Harry Potter fan. The truth about this scene is that it is very out of character of Dumbledore.
The Headmaster is usually a very calm and collected person who would never raise his voice, even when talking to Voldemort. So why did the director think it would be a good idea to have a screaming, agitated Dumbledore push Harry against a wall and deliver this silly line?
#24. Avatar
Avatar was a huge box office success when it first came out because of its groundbreaking CGI. However, watching it nowadays is just…disappointing. You can clearly see it’s a cheesy, empty story with bland characters, a poorly-constructed universe, and outdated CGI.
One of the best characters is definitely Dr. Grace Augustine, a biologist working on the Avatar project. She delivers this very, very smart line that could only be said by a scholar like her. It’s nice to see such smart characters on screen!
#23. The Happening
The Happening was torn to shreds by critics and audiences alike for being a silly, cheap apocalyptic film with no substance at all. The best thing about it, however, is the unintentionally hilarious script.
We don’t know exactly what was happening in the writers’ room when this line came up, or whatever the movie studio was thinking when it gave the script a green light, but it happened, and we should all just sit back and enjoy it.
#22. Dante’s Peak
Dante’s Peak is, without a doubt, at the peak of ridiculousness. The movie wasn’t well-received and it is more than forgettable, but this line, in particular, has made it into pop culture as one of the dumbest lines ever.
When Grandma Ruth is dying, Dr. Harry Dalton is holding her in his arms and comforts her by telling her “that’s a good grandma“, like she’s a dog they are putting down at the vets. Grandma deserved better!
#21. Fifty Shades Of Grey
Oh, what a literary masterpiece this book was! And what a good idea it was to make it into a movie! The book itself is filled with ridiculous quotes, and some of them even made it to the big screen.
Some may say it’s cheap writing to introduce the name of the movie into the dialogue, but doing it in this way is even more ridiculous. At least the character of Christian Grey seems to be kind of self-aware?
#20. Four Weddings And A Funeral
This quote from Four Weddings and a Funeral became a classic for how ridiculous it is. You have Carrie, standing in the middle of the street, drenched in rain that has been pouring on her the whole time, and she decides to say this:
In her defense, however, actress Andie MacDowell explained that it was meant to show that she was so in love that she didn’t even notice it was raining, because she had all her attention on her significant other.
#19. Batman And Robin
Batman and Robin is considered the worst Batman movie by most fans because it seems like a caricature of an otherwise cool and serious franchise. The fact that they cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze just made it even worse.
Basically, all of his lines are awful, but this one takes the cake. Who doesn’t want to see Mr. Freeze make ice puns for 30 minutes? Other good ones were “ice to meet you” and “alright everyone, chill!“
#18. Jack Frost
In case you haven’t watched this amazing movie, Jack Frost is about a boy whose dead father comes back to life as a snowman instead of a human. The plot itself is beyond stupid, so just imagine the kind of dialogues this movie has.
In one particular scene, Rory makes an incredibly deep, educated reflection about how it is better to have a snow dad than having no dad at all. This kid is sure to become a scholar when he grows up.
#17. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
The first couple of Transformers movies were decent, but Transformers: Age of Extinction was a trainwreck. Although critics in general didn’t have a lot to say about it, audiences hated it because it was filled with explosions and cheap action sequences.
Whenever there wasn’t an explosion or a car crash going on, you could hear fantastic lines of dialogue that Shakespeare wished he had come up with first, just like this one right here.
#16. Face/Off
Face/Off was a cool-ish movie when it first came out and critics loved it, but over the years, it just became a cult classic for its ridiculous plot and funny dialogue. In a nutshell, John Travolta and Nicholas Cage switch faces.
Yes, they switch faces with some cool, modern surgery and kind of switch lives as well. A confused Cage (who’s technically Travolta) doesn’t understand what happened, so Travolta explains it to him with this super smart line.
#15. Mindhunters
LL Cool J tried to step into the acting world, but he didn’t make the smartest choice with this one. He played one of the leads in Mindhunters, which allowed him to say one of the silliest lines in movie history.
The plot revolves around a group of FBI trainees who have to find a serial killer among themselves. Then, LL Cool J reaches the unbelievable conclusion that a person is weak to bullets. Well…duh.
#14. Braveheart
Braveheart is one of the most memorable films ever, and Mel Gibson‘s performance was critically acclaimed (this was before we all found out what a terrible person he was). But this line in particular is not as cool as they thought it would be.
Gibson tells the troops this to encourage them before going into the battlefield, where everyone gets slaughtered. So, they did take your freedom, and basically everything you had. You should’ve kept your mouth shut, Mel.
#13. Notting Hill
Despite the absurd plot and the cheesy dialogue, Notting Hill was a very successful movie. For a 1990s romantic comedy, it was okay. However, this line cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.
To put it in context, Julia Roberts plays a movie star – just like herself – who falls in love with some guy at a bookstore. Then, she asks him to take her back by delivering the cheesiest line ever written. Ugh.
#12. Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor was super successful at the box office, but in reality, critics hated it – and for good reason. While the movie is very entertaining, the writing is just mediocre. Just take this one as an example.
The events of the movie are of course based on true ones, which are happening two years after World War II has already begun. So, why is this guy catching up just now? Does he live under a rock? We’ll never know.
#11. Jerry Maguire
Jerry Maguire is a beloved 1990s movie that had it all: comedy, romance, drama, and sports, so men, women, and children just loved it. Most importantly, critics loved it too. However, the movie is responsible for one of the cheesiest pick-up lines ever invented.
This iconic quote became so prevalent in pop culture and in real life that many people have unfortunately had to hear it in person. It’s just super cheesy so just never use it, thank you.
#10. Twilight
Let’s be fair; people were way too harsh on Twilight, and it wasn’t really as bad as it was made out to be (especially after watching Fifty Shades of Grey). That being said, this line is one of the worst, ever.
When Edward wants to show Bella his vampire superspeed, he tells her… this? Robert Pattinson is too good for this, but he sucked it up and played the part as well as he could with the script he was given, and for that, we respect him.
#9. The Fast And The Furious
The Fast and the Furious is one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time and for that, it spawned around seven movies. We still can’t believe it, however, with cheesy lines like this one.
You have Vin Diesel‘s expressionless face throwing lame one-liners like this all the time, but this one is the worst. We get it, you are a tough guy who drives cars like really fast. After all these movies, you don’t need to keep making it clear.
#8. 50 Shades Of Grey
Ah yes, the incredible Christian Grey is on our list again with an even better line than before. The movie tries very, very hard to show Christian’s journey from a kind of sex addict into a somehow romantic guy who’s in love with the lead girl, Anastasia.
To drive the point even further, they have him say this to Elena, his former lover. How is this man supposed to be an intelligent, well-spoken businessman? How could this line ever be considered anything but absurd?
#7. Gigli
Gigli is usually on Worst Movies lists, even taking the No. 1 spot most of the time. This movie was a trainwreck from the beginning, and it starred Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck when they were dating in real life.
In a scene that is supposed to be sexy, Lopez tells Affleck that it’s “turkey time”. What she is talking about is pretty clear, and we all wish we had never ever heard her say this. Also, both actors probably don’t include this in their résumé.
#6. The Notebook
This might just be an unpopular opinion, but The Notebook wasn’t as good as people pretend it was. It was mostly an overrated, cheesy compilation of all the romantic clichés you could ever think of.
Take this one, for example. For some reason, Rachel McAdams tells Ryan Gosling that she’s like a bird, to which he responds this. How is this supposed to be romantic if it doesn’t even make sense?
#5. Star Wars
Every Star Wars fan will probably tell you that the prequels are not the best. Actually, let’s just call them for what they are: trash. And this scene from Episode II – Attack of the Clones is more than enough proof.
Young Anakin Skywalker has a very meaningful, deep conversation with Queen Amidala, where he rants about how much he hates sand, for no reason, no context, and no substance for the story. WHY?!
#4. The Covenant
The Covenant is about a group of young warlocks – a.k.a. witches – who have to band together to fight another warlock who is evil and wants to destroy their coven. Also, the movie is filled with witch puns.
It is extremely hard to take this movie seriously with all the ridiculous puns! They are unnecessary, unfunny, and take the viewer away from the film’s universe. This one right here takes the award for Worst Pun in the History of Puns.
#3. Predator
Predator is a classic action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger that everyone loves, but one particular line in the film just ain’t it. The character of Blain just spits this phrase out of nowhere during a fight, and the writers probably thought it would sound cool.
Newsflash, Blain. Nobody has time to bleed, and nobody wants to bleed. What is it even supposed to mean? Trying to make sense out of it is almost as ridiculous as the line itself, so we’ll just leave it at that.
#2. X-Men
The original X-Men movies were great and everybody loved them, but the character of Storm, played by Halle Berry was…umm…something. She was supposed to be mysterious and scary, but she just came off as dumb as a bag of rocks.
Yes, what happens to a toad when it is struck by lightning Oh, right, the same thing that happens to everything else… so? I don’t think anyone ever thought that something else would happen, but you go girl.
#1. Titanic
This one might be a little controversial, especially because Titanic is many people’s favorite movie ever. And while the movie is for sure one of the best of all time, one line has stuck with us.
When Leonardo DiCaprio gets on the famous ship, he screams: “I’m the king of the world!” and we all feel so happy for him… until we remember that he’s not the king of the world and he dies at the end. You should’ve never gotten on that ship, Leo!
