Movie dialogue that should be retired.

Some bunch of characters who have spent the movie growing and learning and struggling and triumphing together, partying and dancing in the last scene to 'empowering' music, typically 'We are Family,' 'Don't Tell Me How to Live,' or some such tune. Ugh.

A similar TV cliche is what I call the David E Kelley montage at the end of the episode...a bunch of slow panning shots of all the characters reflecting on what happened dissolving into each other as some dreary pop ballad plays on the soundtrack.

I would steer clear of Scrubs if you don't like that.

Watching "Lost" a couple weeks ago as Sawyer stares hatefully into the mirror at himself.

I'm saying out loud "Don't do it! Don't do it!"

-Sawyer punches the mirror.

"You did it..." *sigh*

The SAG should impose hefty fines for (over)using that.

I was in (pick any war, typically Vietnam) when you were still (derogatory way to portray childhood).

You have no idea. (typically said after someone attributes to you an understated characterization)
