Mainstream Hollywood cinema is cliche-ridden. All cliches start as facts, and then they become what they are. After a point, many become irritants. Here's my pick of the 25 most irritating ones:
- Let’s get out of here!
- Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
- Don’t you die on me!
- Breathe, dammit!
- Cover me. I’m going in.
- You can't do this to me. I'm a American citizen.
- You’d better come in.
- Follow that car!
- I’m not leaving you.
- Is this some kind of sick joke?
- What seems to be the problem, Officer?
- I have a bad feeling about this.
- Whatever you do, don’t look down.
- Oh now you’re really starting to piss me off!
- We’ve got company.
- What just happened?
- It’s a trap!
- I’m getting too old for this shit.
- Try to get some sleep.
- I'll live.
- Why are you doing this to me?
- You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
- That’s it! You’re off the case!
- Q: How'll I find you? A: I'll find you.
- Shut up and kiss me.
