Magazine chooses the world's cheesiest films

[dArKeR]

In the film industry, where cliche and ridiculous sentiment are no hindrance to success, there is no shortage of films which can easily be labelled as cheesy.

But now there is a hierarchy of cheese. Empire magazine has compiled a list of the cheesiest movie moments -- and the ripest moment of all can be found in Independence Day.

When the film played in US cinemas, audiences reportedly cheered as the on-screen president, Bill Pullman, called his countrymen to arms against marauding aliens with the words: "Today we celebrate our independence day." For the list's compilers, however, it is the grand fromage of movie moments. It is, they say, "a cornball speech that sounds like Shakespeare rewritten by kindergarteners."
