After a long, rousing speech the main character shouts, "Who's with me?!?!" and the once reluctant crowd thrusts their fists in to the air shouting "YEAAAHHHH!!!!!"

I actually saw a guy in college running for class president stand up on the table and do this in the cafeteria... it worked just like the movies. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sure, I might be getting leveled here, but, like, there's good a reason why they always use 555.

i'm fairly certain you can make up a lot of fake numbers that aren't so obviously fake. for example, the phone numbers in the wire all have the 410 (baltimore) area code and aren't 555- xxxx variations.

the phone number thing is a pet peeve of mine. when they make up an adress in the movies it isn't always 555 Fake St. They come up with something believable.

They spend millions on a movie ... why can't they get a number that is real and retire it?

Another one that's more of a scene than a line, but totally overused:

Main character is in front of a group of people and "takes a stand" by making a bold but controversial statement/opinion. The crowd stands there in stunned silence, until a single person starts the "slow clap": "clap... clap... clap...", with other members of the crowd eventually joining in the rousing crescendo of clapping.

Also, the tagline in so many previews for sequels: "This time, it's personal!"

A lot of response to this thread are actually pretty cliche in real life as well.

"Who are you?"
"Your worst nightmare."

"Don't shoot him. That'll just make him angry."

"Honey, you know I would never do anything to hurt you, right?"

say you're watching a movie and one character says to another character, "hey what's your number, man?". What's the other character always say? "555-5555". You know why they gotta do that? Because stupid ass people go to the movies and then go home and try to call the characters that they just saw. "Hello? Is Indiana Jones here?"
