1. "You Can Be My Wingman Anytime" - Top Gun
Embarrassing largely because of its total lack of self-awareness, Tony Scott's hugely enjoyable Top Gun is nevertheless packed with countless homo-erotic references, one of which the film's fans have suggested to be the final embrace between Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Iceman (Val Kilmer), as they literally embrace their feelings for one another. Of course, it's easy to pick apart the moment by suggesting that their "wingman" comment is an obvious reference to teaming up to take on the town of women, but even still, the combination of the cheesy 80s guitars, ridiculous grins, and manly embrace all conspire to make this the most embarrassingly cheesy - if also one of the most hilarious - scene(s) in movie history. Try and keep a straight face through this one, I dare you - I double dare you. Which embarrassing movie moment makes you cringe the most? Let us know in the comments below.
