cliche movie lines

I think we've all seen enough movies to know some lines that tend to get overused.  this past weekend I saw Priest, it was pretty cool, vampires and what have you, at one point the main guy says "we leave at dawn" and I couldnt stop laughing.  its just such an overused line, so i started to think of some others and look up other peoples list of these cliche lines, i think they are mostly from action movies, and probably said mostly by these guys

anyway, here's what i came up with in no particular order.  if you have any others, feel free to add them


We got company (start of car chase)

Who’s there (wandering through a house, right before getting attacked)

Go ahead, I’ll hold them off

He’s standing right behind me, isn’t he (when saying something bad about your boss.  Of course coworkers never warn you)

Its quiet, a little too quiet (when its just a little too quiet)

What part of _______ don’t you understand (fill in the blank with anything)

According to my calculations

You’re going to want to see this (when something is so bad that they cant just say it, they have to show it to the boss, or usually bring it up on the “main screen” tv in the command room

Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit _______ (drinking, smoking, banging, whatever)

I think we lost em (probably didn’t lose em)

That might be crazy enough to work (1% chance of success, but works everytime)

You gotta trust me on this

Got a bad feeling about this (jk, this is the greatest line ever)

Movies that have 1 great line

There are some movies that are always at the same part when you flip through and catch it on tv. They generally have 1 great line that you wait for and then turn the channel afterward.
Here's a couple I thought of:

Aliens - "They mostly come out at night, mostly."

Forest Gump - "Lieutenant Dan, Ice Cream!"

Matrix - "Dodge this."

I'm sure there's a ton more. Those are just one's that i've seen recently
