Wow, I really loved Gollum's little rhyme at shelob's lair. It's just so creepy to me. Ya, it's not shakespearian poetry, but it's not supposed to be.

There arn't really any lines I hate. A few make me laugh and others that sort of grate on my nerves but I still enjoy them.

With one exeption:

I, in any film am turned off by slow motion. It just seems too melodramatic to me. Many of the scenes in the LotR movies pull this off fairly well if not brilliantly (i.e. Boromir's death). However the one scene that just goes over the edge is when Frodo sends Sam away. Sam is offering to take the ring and the scene goes into slow mo:

Sam: shaaaaaaaaaaaare............theeeeeeeee........loa aaaaaaaaaaad.......

IT'S SO CHEESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even stand it. I always have to fast forward through it even though it only takes a few seconds. To me it's just cheesy to insanity. And of course it's topped off by a major plot deviation.

So personally, I'd have to crown that as the king of cheesy lines.
