 This photo from the 1997 movie "Titanic," showing stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in a scene from the film on the ship's bow railing with arms spread wide in a wind-swept embrace, was supplied by 20th Century Fox. According to a recent survey, the film's most memorable line -- "I'm the king of the world!"-- tops the list of cheesiest movie moments in a poll of British moviegoiers . (AP Photo/20th Century Fox)
NEW YORK (AP) -- Although "Titanic" soared at the box office in 1997, according to a recent survey, its most memorable line - "I'm the king of the world!" - sunk.
British baker Warburtons posed the question "What are your top three cheesiest moments in film?" to 2,000 U.K. moviegoers in celebration of the launch of their new cheese-flavored crumpets.
The line uttered by Leonardo DiCaprio was followed by Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts baby in the corner" from 1987's "Dirty Dancing" and Andie McDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed," from the end of 1994's "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
Warburtons reports that surveyed women opted for romantic comedy moments from films such as "Notting Hill" and "Jerry Maguire" while men preferred silly scenes from action flicks like "Top Gun" and "Braveheart." Despite the gender divide, 33 percent of the overall vote unanimously agreed on the "Titanic" yell as the cheesiest moment.
The list of big cheese moments:
1. "Titanic": Leonardo DiCaprio's "I'm the king of the world!"
2. "Dirty Dancing": Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
3. "Four Weddings And A Funeral": Andie McDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."
3. "Ghost": Demi Moore's "Ditto," to Patrick Swayze's "I love you."
5. "Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime"
6. "Notting Hill": Julia Roberts' "I'm just a girl ... standing in front of a boy ... asking him to love her."
7. "Independence Day": Bill Pullman's "Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"
8. "Braveheart": Mel Gibson's "They may take our lives, but they will not take our freedom!"
9. "Jerry Maguire": Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: "You had me at hello."
10. "The Postman": A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: "You're a godsend, a savior." He replies: "No, I'm a postman." |
I agree with all except "The Postman" I don't have the time to watch crapy Costner movies.

I haven't tried that hard, but from what I have done on legendary, it is completely nasty! The thing that I don't like about Halo 2 is that if you complete a level on a certain setting it doesn't show it like it used to on the original one. A minor detail, but I would prefer it.

About the only movie that I saw that was any good with him in it was Gangs of New York... and that's cause it was all fighting and he hardly had any lines

Violent movies are good, but DiCaprio movies are not...plain and simple in my book. Maybe I'll just pretend not to see him in this good movie if I ever watch it .

Well, I'm not really into imagining "guys" so maybe i'll just pretend he is some pretty lady, and that his character is too lol.
