I've heard people in their 70s and older say "picture" - going to see a picture - when they meant a movie.

probably "elite film"
And some less than 70 say pictures. Is it still okay if I say I recently saw a good flick? BTW, if you do want to see an excellent flick, check out Slumdog Millionaire. What an excellent film!

I have never heard the phrase Pay it Forward used outside the movie called Pay it Forward.

I think "deck" was highly overused at my school. I mean deck as in punch, like: I'm gonna deck you in the face. I was so annoyed by that!!

It's dreck.
Most overused words of the year, "amazing" and in the media, "maverick".
Psssst! CNN says "film" (referring to those magical moving picture images).

I'll nominate 'stimulus'. It's seems almost cliche.

Get ready to grit you teeth as no doubt you'll be hearing this word constantly for the first quarter of 2009.

As a Canadian, I want stimuli, and a lot of it!

drives me crazy. For some reason more so when "uptight" types like newscasters use it. But annoying in any context.
