The Best:
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."
JAWS 2 (1978)
This tagline has been ripped off or parodied many times over the years. You could almost hear John Williams' shark theme after you read that line.
The Worst:
"This time it's personal"
JAWS THE REVENGE (1987)
What was supposed to send chills down your spine, instead sparked unintentional laughter from audiences.
A character from the aforementioned JAWS 2 even states: "Chief Brody, sharks don't take things personally." Guess the creators forgot that 9 years later.

- Army of Darkness
Simple and to the point, better than alot of other taglines IMO.
Also the Jurassic Park one...thats classy as well.

I like Chicago's tagline.....
"If you can't be famous, be infamous."
As for worst, I would have to nominate The Core. Saw a commercial last night and the tagline at the end was:
"The only way out is in."

I don't know if it's what you call a tagline, but I saw a poster for the Chris Rock movie Head of State, and its slogan was:
The only thing white is the house.
or something like that. I think that's pretty bad
