2. "Top Gun" (You can be my wingman anytime)
3. "The Karate Kid" (Daniel wins the big tournament on one leg)

I agree with these. But just because I haven't seen half of the others, and i don't remember well the rest.
ID4 is definitely a turd. A BIG turd.
But i would also nominate the atrocious Vanilla Sky. Not one single moment: all of it. I f i had to choose one moment, it would be the moment when the song of The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" sounds. Worst. Song. Election. EVER!

How about the Ghost poetry scene...or...even BETTER
"No one puts Baby in the corner" from Dirty Dancing?

Is that the one when Susan Sarandon and her kids sing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"? Cause I loved that scene.

I concure. Awful scene from an awful movie.

Patch Adams is the definition of cheese. The movie sucked more than Madonna at a Lakers game. :confused:
So I pick #9 then.
P.S. That Karate Kid scene gave me chills, yo! Danny was inspiring as hell...
"I am the man, who will fight for your honor..." :cool:

I agree with the the entire list.
I would add any moment from I Am Sam or Corrina, Corrina, or any other Jessie Nelson movie. Which is why I'm happy with Stepmom being number 6.

A WALK TO REMEMBER. The scene. The one that takes place just moments before the last one. Those who've seen it know what I'm talking about.
:mad:

I actually think there were far more cheesy moments in Stepmom than the one they picked. Agreed, Adam J Haraki-- but the WHOLE movie was a cheese-fest.
Some cheesy moments off the top of my head:
"Ouch"
"Does Your Nose Hurt?"
"I Think It's My Heart"
- Pearl Harbor
The scene in Volcano where the kid sees soot all over everyones faces after the eruption and makes some cheesy ass monologue about how "we really do all look the same".
:rolleyes:

A lot of Armageddon was very cheesy for me.Especially the scene with Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck in a field getting all mushy.And also Bruce crying near the end.

Take a look at GLITTER. Then take a look at CROSSROADS. Mandy Moore is Meryl Streep in comparison. ;)

That line from Episode II really was terrible.......but I think Patch Adam's as a whole is just much cheesier. So Patchy boy it is

As much as I liked the movie, I found the scene near the end of Child's Play bad cheesy
SPOILERS
Andy remarking "This is the end, friend" as he incenirates Chucky

This, along with the whole love story in AOTC top the proverbial cheese-cake in my opinion

A test audience stuck us with that one.
Where's "That's my brother, Goddamnit!" from Backdraft?
