‘‘Today we celebrate…”
Bill Pullmans call to arms in Independence Day has apparently been voted the cheesiest moment in cinema, closely followed by the “You can be my wingman any time!” bit from Top Gun (by Val ‘Iceman’ Kilmer and not Kelly McGillis[Swoon!], which makes me squirm even more!) and the “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed!” bit by that fey fop Hugh Grant in Four Weddings And A Funeral. Meanwhile Robin Williams was likened to being dipped in to a churning vat of camembert in Patch Adams. Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor reading a love letter against a sun set was another unpopular one, whilst Richard Gere sweeping Deborah Winger off her feet at the end of An Officer And A Gentleman also stank.
But…
Can you lot think of anymore stomach turning cheese that has hit the cinema screens? Extra points awarded if there is an aviation theme to the movie!

The end of Titanic, just as the ship is about to go down, and Kate and Leo are hanging from the railings on the stern, and she says:
“Jack, this is where we first met!”
Surely you’d be thinking something a bit more like “how am I going to save my own ass”??

Just about any scene from The Scorpion King. That film reeked like brie and went down just as well.

As much as I like the movie, the ending of “Armageddon” has to be in there.The scene with the shuttle pilot (William Fichtner) asking Liv Tyler if he could “shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I’ve ever met”.
Spew!

Barely suppressed nancy-boys, the lot of them. 😡
Nothing wrong with a manly handshake. 😉

Thinking about it…
Any moment when something has miraculously happened (say an airliner was landed by a passenger although all the crew were struck down by the prawn cocktail, or he hero saves the day again, or the end of Apollo 13…) why do Americans go out of their skulls cheering and patting each other on the backs? If it was a British film then there might be an embarrassed ‘Well done’ and that would be it but the Americans even do it in real life – I can remember seeing a programme on TV not so long ago on the recent fight to build the next fighter and everybody was hugging and kissing after it completed its first flight!

The ending of Jaws 3 – where the two dolphins jump up in front of the two leads, effectively framing them, while the daft bint marine biologist screams “all right!” or something equally cringe-inducing!
