Sticking to English-speaking films...

Worst: "Life is like a box of chocolates..." or "Today, we celebrate our independence day."

Best: "That's just what this country needs: A cock in a frock on a rock."

"A really terrible thing has happened."

From Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire about --> spoiler in case you've been living under a rock. Cedric's death.

My sister and minister (we went to see it as part of youth group. :D) burst out laughing at that point.

What's that from?

The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109045/)

Nothing like seeing general Zod from Superman, Mr Smith from the Matrix/The Elf honcho from LOTR and the guy from Memento prancing about in drag. Best. Australian. Movie. Ever. Almost. Best. Movie. Period. Ever.

The Colonel: All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid.

What was worse, was that the whole group of us in the cinema had predicted at the start of the scene, that he would do that.

Kinda like: "Uh oh, I can see where this is going. Script may have been bad, but not that bad, right? Right? Oh no, he's not, don't do it Vader. Shit he's getting up just walk out don't say anythi...

Shit."

That film was crap.

worst line in a film.

Imagine being on Maui, watching a stephen king film in the theatre...

when the following line is delivered...

"We're going to move you to a secured secret facility on the Island of Maui in Hawaii."

the whole theatre burst out laughing at that...

oh, and a cookie for those who can guess the film.

Better than the two that preceded it. Particularly Clones - that made me want to gouge my eyes out and force them up my nose.

As for worst lines ever... how about:

"A red sun rises; blood has been spilled this night."

In fact, pretty much any line by Orlando Bloom ever. Bastard - ruining so many good films.

It is a brilliant flick, and readily available on Netflix if you're in the US. Watch it.

And my entry isn't really a line--it's more anything Arthur said in Excalibur, simply because it was in an Irish accent.

Is that where Vader puts the stress? *confused* I always thought he said "I am your father" *shrugs*

Still don't see how that qualifies for worst lines in a movie!

As for Vader's "Noooooo!" - that sounded as if they had forgotten to hook up his legs and he'd be falling on his face(-mask) in slow motion. Terrible. Then again, I didn't really expect any better of that actor. (/ref Clerks II - Trailer: "Danger, danger,... shitty acting is ruining saga...")

Or every single line from the movie Dune. (1980s version, the remake was much better)

There was a remake? Please tell me they didn't make as awful a blunder as putting Sting in as Feyd Rautha. That also made me want to mutilate myself. In fact, most of that film made me want to mutilate myself.

Back in about 2000 or 2001, they made another. I thought it was great, though I was comparing it to the original Dune, which I had just finished seeing.

No, Darth's really bad line is from A New Hope.

It goes something like "I feel a prescence. Something I have not felt since..." *Walks away.*

A totally lame moment in an awesome trilogy.

If you're going to pick on a Darth line from New Hope, because I don't really see whats so wrong about that one, then I would imagine it would be, "I was but a learner." A 'learner'? C'mon, even James Earl Jones couldn't make that sound cool.


But the worst line, and as usual you all are aiming too high (I suspect in some cases in an attempt to rile others and make yourself look sophisticated by trashing something...). I submit what is refered to as 'the line' from Shark Attack III:Megalodon:
Cataline Stone: [sigh] I'm exhausted.
Ben Carpenter: Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy.
On tv it's changed to "...watch I Love Lucy." Which makes almost as much sense.

I don't have so much a problem with a made up word in a made up religion, but when you have someone who speaks with menace and eloquence then say 'learner' it just sticks out way more than a made up word for a made up religion.

And it's not any worse, as made up shit goes, than "But I was gonna go to the Tashi station to pick up some power converters." That whiny jackass saved the galaxy? Like father like son I guess.

Honestly, I just don't like "padawan" because I associate it with Lil Ani.
And, Luke was a lot cooler after the first hour of the movie.

PS: Power converters aren't really made up... Those bricks attached to some power cords convert AC power to DC...

How dare you - that film was a crime against God and man. Try reading the book - that way you actually do get more than, say, 30% of the plot, and none of that crap about mind-reading weapons of whatever it was. And you don't have to put up with the lame effects either :p

"Oh Anakin you're breaking my heart"

How about we just give the "worst movie dialogue" award to the collected works of George Lucas? I mean, I liked the Star Wars movies for their action, their FX, their story... but collectively-- and yes, especially in the prequel trilogy-- that man has cranked out the most cliche, most un-human, most unnatural dialogue of any movie writer I can think of. Like seriously, how traumatising did it have to be, as an actor, to deliver some of those lines and to know "oh fuck, people are gonna be laughing at this steaming crap forever!" How did they keep themselves from rebelling and improv'ing their lines in the hope of making them sound... you know... like real people instead of soulless, two-dimensional cut-outs?
