'Bill Pullman's call to arms as US president in the film Independence Day has been named the cheesiest movie moment of all time by Empire magazine.
Pullman's "cornball speech" in the 1996 blockbuster led a cringe-making list.
Other top five entries included Top Gun ("You can be my wingman any time") and Four Weddings and A Funeral (Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.")
EMPIRE'S CHEESY LIST
1 - Independence Day
2 - Top Gun
3 - The Karate Kid
4 - Four Weddings...
5 - Pearl Harbor
6 - Stepmom
7 - The Postman
8 - An Officer and a Gentleman
9 - Patch Adams
10 - Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Among a long line of cheesy roles, the magazine singles out a group of terminally-ill children turning up in court to save his comedy doctor character's career in Patch Adams.
But no other contender beat Pullman's "Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!", from the widely-panned fantasy movie.
Kate Beckinsale's reading of a love letter in front of an improbably beautiful sunset in Pearl Harbor came fifth on the list.
Kevin Costner earns a place for a scene in his flop film The Postman in which a blind woman tells him: "You're a godsend, a saviour."
"No, I'm just a postman", Costner solemnly replies. '
Come to think of it, people are always quoting out the funny lines from The Postman, I think one of the best I've heard is 'Only when they were gone, did we realise how much letters meant to us.' That cracks me up every time.
Any others you can think of?

I haven't seen Magnolia but heard about that scene. It sounds like one in the Buffy musical where various characters start singing lines from a song even though they're in different places, but it still manages to make sense.

I was surprised the bit in Magnolia where they all start singing that song in their own little places didn't make it in. I don't know how they put that scene in an otherwise good film. Ruined a good song, too.

Cheesiest moment ever:
The 'seemingly tacked on' ending to Frequency as it was released around father's day.
Really, really cheesy.

UGH.

Armageddon. Where Ben Athleck sings that song to whaddyacallher. *cringe*

I would really like to watch THAT movie!
It could star Burt Reynolds as old me, and my story could be told in sombrel yet hilarious flashbacks.
