Hollywood's cheesiest moments are revealed.

Hollywood has long had a weakness for cheese. Just look at the classic "Casablanca," in which Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) gushes to Rick (Humphrey Bogart) as the Germans invade Paris, "Was that cannon fire or is it my heart pounding?" Groan.
Well, break out the crackers, because the good folks at Empire magazine have selected the 10 cheesiest movie moments ever. At the top of the list is Bill Pullman's Velveeta-covered presidential pep talk in "Independence Day" ("We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"), which the mag dismisses as "a cornball speech that sounds like Shakespeare rewritten by kindergarteners."
Coming in a close second is the mano-a-mano moment in "Top Gun" when Tom Cruise's Maverick melts Val Kilmer's Iceman's frozen heart by telling him, "You can be my wingman any time."
Other cringe-inducing examples include a drenched Andie MacDowell clunkily telling Hugh Grant at the end of "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed"; a blind woman worshiping Kevin Costner's messiah-like mail carrier in "The Postman": "You're a Godsend, a savior," to which he earnestly replies, "No, I'm just the postman"; and Hayden Christensen's wooing of Natalie Portman in "Attack of the Clones," which includes this rumination on sand: "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth."
Still craving cheese? Here's the complete list:
1. "Independence Day"
2. "Top Gun"
3. "The Karate Kid" (Daniel wins the big tournament on one leg)
4. "Four Weddings and a Funeral"
5. "Pearl Harbor" (Kate Beckinsale reads a love letter as the sun sets)
6. "Stepmom" (the big group sing)
7. "The Postman"
8. "An Office and a Gentleman" (Richard Gere carries Debra Winger out of the factory)
9. "Patch Adams" (sick kids rescue Robin Williams in court)
10. "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones"
