38 Overused Movie Lines Screenwriters Should Put To Rest

My BIL has such a job. At our first meeting he was skirting around, trying to share but not. And it occurred to me, he could legit say this. He smiled sadly, no one says that.

What if you wrote it on a computer n that person happened to see it? You dodnt "tell" them they just "happened" across the info

I always thought it was a sarcastic comment. Or a way to change the subject without giving any information. (Aka a literary device.) Occasionally a character says it seriously and can get away with it.

Communicating respectfully is great in real life, but it's not much fun to watch.

Why would 'shut up and kiss me' be about conflict? This would never come to my mind about this phrase...

Only time my bf n i say this is when we are already being overly sweet n lovey xD

This one was used as a codephrase by one of Bashir's nurses in a Star Trek Deep Space Nine novel involving a murderous shapeshifter (Odo's race with the capability of perfect transformations), and it worked in that situation for that purpose, but otherwise it's just a severely overused line for gratuitous $3x

Because the third act conflict has to happen.

"Your eyes see wrong."

I love the fact that Harrison Ford has the same landing limitations as Indiana Jones... flying, sure, landing...well, that's another story!

Also knows how to drive a tank, submarine, helicopter, parachute, fire any weapon and know how to reload it.... But, it's still fun....

In this case, I think they were making fun of the trope.

In the woods I can say true statement. If you can't hear at least birds. Move and move as fast as you can

"It's Raph. Too Raph" :p

Unless you have kids, then it's appropriate to say any time it is quiet. Sometimes that can mean big trouble, other times it could mean nothing but them playing quietly side by side. Yes, I have kids. Yes, I have caught both ends of the spectrum.

When movies are making fun of other genres, limes like, It's quiet, too quiet" are totally expected

They rarely do touch their hair

Now I want to see a hero knitting mittens while in a fight to the death with their archenemy.

This is actually my life motto.

What about when the average Joe says it? When I say it, I mean it.

I'm thinking Harrison Ford has said all of these in one movie or another. We could splice all the instances together and make a new Harrison Ford movie.

I actually support this one for old timers. It's more about when you feel your body burning all around and extra sore the next day, but still feel the need to uphold your duty. Let's face it. They are getting to old for this.

This one is funny when it's the future self fighting the past self. To quote another maniac: "All it takes is one bad day."

Perfect movie example pic in this post :) "If I'm not back in ten minutes... just wait longer."

To be fair this should be common practice in society. You never know when disaster strucks and having someone immediately know that something is wrong might prove to make the difference.

It's always the hard way

That's the point of the phrase,that it's easier for the person making the demand... It's gonna happen either way... That OP caption for the phrase is what's pretentious.

Tbf team rocket was pretty funny when they had this kind of scene. "We can do this the nice way or we can do this the nasty way, and if it's all the same to you we prefer nasty!" *gets butts kicked by some Pokémon* James: "...now that was nasty :("

Doesn't make these things mutually exclusive... maybe the thing they're about to do involves crying.

The world is about to end... "You ready to curl up in the fetal position and cry like a baby?" "I was born ready!"

They should have the movie Smokey and the Bandit up for this one. 'Are you ready Roy.' "I was born ready" as they do a smokey burnout and speed away from Sherriff Bueford T. Justice!

G FORCE!!!! YESSS!

This line, while overused and a definite cliche, is meant to be a means of intimidation. Quite often, It's said by a person who'd be ended by a flick to the forehead. But this line is then used, which throws off baddie, mentally.

To be fair, most bosses have second form. It is a valid question. Plus, it's easier to fight an angry person than a calm one.

I say that...

Again, I feel like this is a legitimate statement. I say this to my friends all the time.

The "I told you so" after is the salt for the weird knowledge gained. While some people are just afraid of failure, others may have actually tried what you're about too and are just saying it won't work as you think. Always trust the old men in a profession where men die young.

Except in Star Wars, this line is a running gag in the franchise it has to be there.

The hiby jibys are a common occurrence to many of us. Plus, we can't all call it spider sense, can we?

All I ever think of when I hear this is Lydia, my follower in Skyrim.

This feels so nit-picky. S lot of them if not all but seriously

Think this was misunderstood xD the line means "i dont wanna lose you or "im not ready to lose you"

I relate to this quote a lot.

Don't make them feel guilty for dying--not their fault!

Okay, now I know whoever made this list is dumb because EVERYONE does this.

Actually... I do speak out loud quite often without realizing it. I'm ADHD and hearing my own thoughts outloud helps me process them. So much so that I don't even realize I'm doing it nowadays.

Well, to be fair, I do that a lot.

As a kid you will do it for sure. It comes more as an innate fear that forces you to keep your thoughts to yourself. Eliminate the fear and you become a loose canon/strong personality.
