Ok well I thought of some film lines that I feel are used way too much in films and series. Well I don't live in an English-speaking country so I don't really know if some of these are normally used IRL too, and thus shouldn't be considered as an abuse.
If you come up with something more please post
And btw. My vote goes to "- You have to trust me." Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.

"Aaalrighty then!"
That gets a little old, especially when you realise you say it a lot.
The best times of your life should not be when you're still so young, or else you'll live a life always dreaming of the past.

I hear many of those commonly used in day-to-day life. So I wouldn't qualify them as Film Lines.
“There’s an economic concept known as a Positional Good in which an object is only valued by the possessor because its not possessed by others. The term was coined in 1976 by economist Fred Hirsch to replace the more colloquial but less precise ‘neener-neener’.”

What about "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"
Honestly I've never heard of any of the lines that were listed in the poll. They sound like regular things someone would say, not necessarily from a film, like Exo said.

It is not going to be okay. In the real world, Bad Guys win quite often, and they rape your family.

Probably "I have a bad feeling about this." (tied with "now what?") Also "I love you." and "Everythings going to be okay."
You also get abused film lines a lot more in successive film sequels. For example, the worst contenders are probably "The Mummy" and "Jurassic Park".http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,S...hite,black.png

"You saved my life!" From a woman to a man, of course. Since I was five, I can't help rolling on the floor every time I hear this. But the "You HAVE to trust me." is well pointed out too.
