Oh, My, God! -- Oh... My... God... is missing from the list.

Amazingly, this list leaves out one of all-time, most-overused, cliched lines of dialogue ever: "We need to talk."

Scott at 2012-03-08 18:40:25:

Yes, that belongs there.

Scott at 2012-03-08 18:42:24:

Absolutely needs to go on the list.

"Mr.____ is my father's name. Call me____."

Has anyone compiled a cliched action list? I nominate the cell phone call at the worst possible moment as the number one cliche action of the last 15 years.

"Looks like we got company."

Guy Gondron at 2012-03-11 14:33:13:

We're not so different, you and I.

Michael Onslow-Osborne at 2012-03-11 18:35:24:

87 needs the added rejoinder: "What does it look like?" As in: "Wait! I can explain! This isn’t what it looks like." "What does it look like?"

Joshua Nite at 2012-03-11 20:12:06:

"What are you?" "Your worst nightmare." Or worse . . . "Your worst nightmare: a____ with a ____."

Also "He needs some space right now" "You've got to be kidding me!" "That is so not going to happen" "She's way out of your league"

How about this one, heard it yesterday again: Girl: "I'm busy tonight/tomorrow/this weekend" Guy: "With what?" Girl: "Washing my hair"

You forgot "You look like shit"...

Another scifi classic: "Use the [whatever device]." "Sir, it's not ready!" "We have to try!"

"What are you supposed to be?"

"There's a storm coming." Which is kind of the entire plot of Take Shelter...but no-one ever says it.

Can understand these lists, but after awhile they just get silly. And the more time people spend on checking their so called perfect lists, free of cliches...so that their perfect scripts are free of cliches? Time's wasted. I don't kinow of any Osacr winning movie, from and Oscar winning script...that didn't have cliches in both dialogue, character and plot moments. Majority of people who really love movies, will see it once...enjoy themselves and not even think of what's cliched and what's not. Me? As writer-driector and content creator for a new world i a new age of the digital...as I connect to auds globally? If the cliched dialgoue propels the scene and connects to the auds? I'll use it. It's about a great story...and many times, made up of cliche. Quantity over quality makes better quality.

Don't forget: "We're in." From every movie involving a computer, and: "MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" From every movie involving attacks and explosions.
