'Titanic' served cheesiest dialogue ever.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio's declaration "I'm the king of the world!" in "Titanic" has been voted the cheesiest line in movie history, according to a survey of 2,000 British moviegoers, the BBC reports.
Patrick Swayze's famous line in "Dirty Dancing" -- "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" -- came second in the survey.
"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed," which was uttered by Andie MacDowell at the end of "Four Weddings and a Funeral," placed third.
Swayze makes another unenviable appearance at fourth place in "Ghost," although the cheesy line belongs to co-star Demi Moore. "I love you," Swayze says, to which Moore replies: "Ditto."
"Top Gun" was fifth for the moment Val Kilmer tells Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
Julia Roberts' line from "Notting Hill" -- "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her" -- was voted sixth.
Bill Pullman is at seven for the moment when, playing the president in "Independence Day," he vows to fight off alien invasion: "Today we celebrate our Independence Day."
Eighth place went to this Mel Gibson line from "Braveheart": "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!"
Renee Zellweger was ninth on the list for the line in "Jerry Maguire" when she says to Cruise: "You had me at hello."
And a line delivered by Kevin Costner in his flop "The Postman" rounds off the top 10.
"You're a godsend, a saviour," a blind woman tells his character. "No," he replies. "I'm a postman."
