Worst line in movie history...


Iris tells the Colonel that her name is Iris and she doesn't know if he's calling her name or nationality.

Col. O'Bannion says, "When I call you by name... you know it."

My vote for the stupidest line in movie history.

Just a weak attempt at Col. O`Bannion trying to be a suave ladies man...I thought it was a dumb line too, def. didnt fit O`Bannion at all as he looked far from a ladies man. Very laughable.

He sounds like Zapp Brannigan from Futurama.

not bad not bad. but I have always felt THE BEST WORST LINE in cinema history is this one from "STAR CRASH"

Stella Star looking at an oncoming spaceship: "Look! It's a SPACE SHIP!"
You have to see it to believe it.
Thanks for the report Captain Obvious!

Jack Kruschen sweet talking his gun might be worse!

My vote would be:

When the spaceship first opens up and a 27 year old female astronaut with a Ph.D. appears at the hatch -

the General shouts: "The girl!"

I wonder if anyone at NASA ever referred to Sally Ride as "the girl."


Always remember that YOU are unique. Just like everyone else.

This one gets my bid! But there really are so many good/bad ones to choose from.

It's entirely possible that I am missing the point of your message.

Now that's funny. I just started this up on Netflix, heard that line, and came here to post a joke about it. Someone already beat me by a couple months.

Or years 🙌

Nopers. Worst line in movie history...Les Miserable (w/Charles Laughton). Jean Valjean carries a guy running from the revolution on his back through the sewers. Later in a home when the guy's in bed and concious he tells his savior "I know what you must have gone through to bring me here."
