25 most irritating Hollywood cliches

You talking to me
Who do you think you are? Robert De Niro?

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:

  1. Let’s get out of here!
  2. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
  3. Don’t you die on me!
  4. Breathe, dammit!
  5. Cover me. I’m going in.
  6. You can't do this to me. I'm a American citizen.
  7. You’d better come in.
  8. Follow that car!
  9. I’m not leaving you.
  10. Is this some kind of sick joke?
  11. What seems to be the problem, Officer?
  12. I have a bad feeling about this.
  13. Whatever you do, don’t look down.
  14. Oh now you’re really starting to piss me off!
  15. We’ve got company.
  16. What just happened?
  17. It’s a trap!
  18. I’m getting too old for this shit.
  19. Try to get some sleep.
  20. I'll live.
  21. Why are you doing this to me?
  22. You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
  23. That’s it! You’re off the case!
  24. Q: How'll I find you? A: I'll find you.
  25. Shut up and kiss me.
