I smell cheeze.

[Boromir88]

I don't know, I gues this line could be a little cheesy, but I actually liked it.

Some cheesy lines are so cheesy you can't help but laugh, so "cheesy" lines aren't always a negative thing. Think of your grandpa's old jokes.

There's even a few lines in Tolkien that I find rather cheesy (but I laugh when I read them). I would say, there is a funny kind of cheesy lines, and a bad kind that leaves you wondering what the heck?

"What's this... a ranger, caught off his guard?"

The by far cheesiest lines in the whole trilogy are to me the monologue of Sam at the end of TT.

I guess they wanted the audience to leave the cinema with a good feeling. For me it ruins the whole feeling of utter despair (that I felt at this point, reading the books).

My precition is gradually and scarily coming true ...

Although, I suppose some lines will never feature here, as I trust that you are all checking that those quoted are not attributable originally to Tolkien himself.

You know, some of these are among my favourite lines (and not because I find them humourous in some way). Perhaps I just have a different definition of "cheeze" from everyone else ...

This line shall forever remind me of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, when Brutus is being referred to as 'an honourable man'... It's like I expect Bernard Hill to go on reciting that entire monologue...

But indeed one persons's cheese is another dessert, because there are few things I look forward to more while watching FOTR than Boromir's "They have a cave troll' line. I especially like the way he drawls the last bit: "They have a caaave troll." Very dry humour there: A mere stating of the facts, no fear, no surprise.
And, despite my general dissapointment with the extended edition of ROTK I love the Aragorn - Corsair of Umbar interaction, especially the "This army' line. I think it's very funny, considering how the army was invisible to their eyes before this and then suddenly it comes to sweep them to the ground.

One of the exhanges of dialogue that I cringe at is when Legolas says to Gimli that 'He was twitching' after shooting the orc beneath Gimli, at which he replies that "He's twitching because he's got my axe in his nervous system'. Whoa, Gimli had knowledge of anatomy that would have left the entire population of Middle Earth (and Valinor) gaping in awe. He was waaay ahead of his time....

Gimli's lines long before the end of movie three were corny because you knew from past experience that everytime the dwarf opened his mouth there would be a joke, more or less funny. So it was a sort of 'enough with the cracks already; can't you be anything other than the tom-fool of the fellowship' kind of feeling everytime you heard him speak.

That's just so cringeworthy. Especially the closeup. *cringe*

That was very funny. The way you draw it out...*tears* It's not really a line but an action that makes even me grimace. As big as a Leggy Bopper as I am, even I have to say this was a bit too much: when Leggy grabs an orc shield and slides down the stairs shooting arrows. TT I mean, come on! I know Elves are superior and all, but geez! I am a traitor to the Leggy loving society. *cries uncontrollaby* Help! But still, I just had to say something. Oh, and when Eowyn says "I am no man!" ROTK I mean, Duh! okay, I'm done. Woo and Hoo!
