15 Great Films Nearly Ruined by Awkward Phrases
We all have our favorite films, those flicks you can watch over and over again, and they never get old. Then, in the midst of all those fantastic scenes, there comes a line that’s just…well, it’s a bit cringy.
We’ve compiled a list of 15 wonderful films nearly spoiled by those pesky awkward phrases.
15. Casablanca – “Here’s looking at you, kid.”
“Casablanca” is a timeless romance, and even with Bogart’s quirky “Here’s looking at you, kid,” it remains a masterpiece.
14. Titanic – “I’m the king of the world!”
Titanic” drew tears and popcorn chokes alike, especially with Leo’s iconic “I’m the king of the world!” Yet, its charm remains undeniable.
13. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – “Noooo!”
“Revenge of the Sith” gives us Vader’s dramatic “Noooo!”, an over-the-top moment in the vast space opera that is “Star Wars.”
12. The Dark Knight – “Why so serious?”
“The Dark Knight” showcased Heath Ledger’s unforgettable Joker. Yet, his line “Why so serious?” felt oddly out of place. Nevertheless, it’s undeniably a cinematic triumph.
11. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – “They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!”
In The Two Towers, the line “They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!” felt oddly overemphasized, but it lingers like an unshakeable earworm in the epic saga.
10. Twilight – “You better hold on tight, spider monkey.”
“Twilight” gave us Edward’s cringe-worthy “You better hold on tight, spider monkey.” What once seemed endearing now feels amusingly cheesy with time.
9. Dirty Dancing – “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
“Dirty Dancing” has the iconic yet cringy “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Odd as it may be, the film wouldn’t feel the same without it.
8. Spider-Man (2002) – “With great power comes great responsibility.”
“Spider-Man” delivered the profound yet slightly out-of-place line — “With great power comes great responsibility.” It’s like Spidey attended a self-help session, but still, it’s a memorable phrase.
7. Avatar – “I see you.”
In “Avatar’s” captivating world of Pandora, the line “I see you” stands out as straightforward yet lacking nuance. Even in Pandora, balance in expression matters!
6. Jerry Maguire – “You complete me.”
’96’s “Jerry Maguire” took us on an emotional journey, but the line “You complete me” felt out of place amidst the film’s genuine depth. It was like unexpected cheese on a heartfelt scene.
5. The Matrix Reloaded – “It’s like wiping your ass with silk.”
The Matrix Reloaded was a mind-bending thrill, but the line “It’s like wiping your ass with silk” stood out awkwardly. It ended up missing the intended sleekness.
4. A Few Good Men – “You can’t handle the truth!”
This movie wowed us with “You can’t handle the truth,” but after a few rewatches, it starts to feel as overdone as a sunburnt “Jennifer’s Body.”
3. Gone with the Wind – “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
Gone with the Wind is timeless, but “Frankly, my dear – I don’t give a damn” made us gasp. Edgy for its time, it showcased classic cinema’s boldness.
2. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” – “I’m a – a double agent!”
Indiana Jones, the archaeologist, surprised us with “I’m a – a double agent!”, a twist that felt more rom-com than action-adventure. Not the reveal we expected!
1. The Shining – “Here’s Johnny!”
“The Shining” gave us the iconic “Here’s Johnny!” a line that feels out of place in its psycho-horror context. It’s much like seeing Cinderella’s stepmother at a frat party. Unsettling, to say the least.
