We all know bad dialogue, right? A lot of movies do it deliberately. For bad dialogue to be genuine bad dialogue, it has got to be meant to be taken seriously, I think.

15 Nominees for Worst Movie Dialogue Ever

THE MOVIE: "Notting Hill" (1999)

THE SCENE: Famous Hollywood actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is attempting to convince bookish William (Hugh Grant) to give her another chance.

THE LINE: ''I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.''



Yes, I remember this, and it just sits there, though Roberts tries damn hard to make it sound like someone would actually say it.

Not her fault.

I feel sorry for Roberts... tongue

I'm glad I haven't seen this movie. I might just see it for a quick laugh.

The movie is actually quite funny. But this particular bit of dialogue is just plain bad.

THE MOVIE: Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (2005)

THE SCENE: Natalie Portman's Amidala tries to get her hubby, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), to give up his megalomaniacal Dark Side ways.

THE LINE: ''Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo.''



Oh, ouch. No way to make that sound like a human being would say it.

Nothing in the film tops the balcony exchange in terms of awfulness. Nothing.

So far it sounds like this thread should be called "Romantic movie dialogue that makes people with opposite sex hang-ups uncomfortable."

No; it should be called movie dialogue generated by a machine. tongue

And not a poetic one.

Everybody makes mistakes, including Zaz. tongue

I'm shocked as a Star Wars fan to see this movie on this list, but understanding as a human being to see it there.

It's true, most of the lines were corny, but the action was unparalleled.

That balcony scene was pretty awful.

"No, I'm soo in love with you!"

Not as terrible as the AOTC fireplace scene, as I think the balcony scene could be salvaged through editing, whereas the fireplace scene is utterly unsalvageable (I've tried- even creating new sentences with line fragments fails to dull the sharp pain significantly).

It just shows how amazingly brilliant George Lucas really is. All along, he's been doing his best to pay homage to the old serials of the 30's and 40's, which among other things were known for their so-awful-it's-good dialogue and wooden acting.
