Bad Movie Lines.

Here are my nominations for the worst, most pointless lines in movies.

"Neo, I believe." - Kid; The Matrix Revolutions
A visually stunning film spoiled by the complicated plot and the slightly wooden acting. This particular line was meant to be dramatic and it just wasn't.

"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." - Carrie; Four Weddings And A Funeral
How? It was chucking it down!

"What am I seeing with my eyes?" - Paris; Pitch Black
Now, what am I seeing with my bum?

"There's no Hogwarts without you Hagrid." - Harry; Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
The worst thing in the world is to end your film on a cringe-worthy note. He did nothing there but give Malfoy ammunition.

"Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter!" - Hemrione; Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone
Proof, if proof be needed, that the screenplay of HP1 was written by an American. I'm surprised the line didn't start "Golly gosh..."

"Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!" - Darth Vader; Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith
Darth Vader is a bad ass. He shows NO emotion. "My wife's dead? Good. She was far too clingy."

"You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." - Storm; X-Men
Pointless, pointless, pointless. Again a 'dramatic line' which meant nothing.

"You're why cavemen chiseled on walls." - Simon; As Good As It Gets
Helen Hunt isn't that old. Right?

"Jack, this is where we first met." - Rose; Titanic
I'm sure he was able to remember the previous day.

"We were made to fit together." - Maggie; City Of Angels
This was the exact point that I gave up with this movie.

"And you people... you're all astronauts on some kind of star trek?" - Zeferman; Star Trek: First Contact
An attempt at sly humor there.

"Tell my wife I love her" - Any character that knows he's going to die in any war film ever made.
It's easy to write a cliche, but come on. A bit more of an inspirational last line is needed from you, whoever you are.

So there you are. Anyone know any others?
