Leonardo DiCaprio's immortal declaration, "I'm the king of the world!" in the film Titanic has been dubbed the cheesiest line in movie history.

The actor utters the words while standing with arms outstretched at the bow of the damned ocean liner during a romantic moment with co-star Kate Winslet.

DiCaprio's line topped a poll of 2,000 moviegoers, who were asked to pick the cheesiest phrase in film.

Patrick Swayze comes in at second place for the declaration of his love for co-star Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing, when his smooth character proclaims: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner".

In at three is Andie MacDowell for allowing love to completely rob her of her senses in the British hit film Four Weddings And A Funeral.

Gazing at love interest Hugh Grant during a torrential downpour, her character sighs: "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."

Patrick Swayze's Ghost co-star Demi Moore also makes an appearance at four. In the romantic weepy Swayze says, "I love you," to which Moore replies: "Ditto".

Action movie Top Gun came fifth in the poll for the moment Val Kilmer tells trainee fighter pilot Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman any time."

Warburtons commissioned the poll to coincide with the launch of its new Cheese Flavour Crumpets.

"We're a nation of cheese lovers but these results show our love of cheese goes beyond food," said a Warburtons spokeswoman.
