I read in a Guinness Book of Movie Records that the most common phrase spoken in film is "Let's get out of here." Once you know that, you hear it everywhere.

Listening for it is somewhat of an obsession of mine, as evinced by this essay I wrote. Someday I hope to revamp this page to include scripts and video clips. But for now you'll just have to suffice with this list.

BONUS!!!! Check out this short compillation film by Rahne Alexander of "Let's get out of here" moments from movies. See? It's everywhere!
