I always thought South Park (and later Team America) had the last word on movie training montages, but Slacktory‘s new supercut montage of training montages (BRAAAAHM) is, at the very least, a good way to get you pumped for those New Year’s Resolutions. My resolution? To stop ethnic cleansing. Oops, starting tomorrow.

Notably absent from this supercut? The montage at the end of 500 Days of Summer, which cuts together exciting footage Joseph Gordon-Levitt reading books and writing equations on chalkboards as he works to finally achieve his lifelong goal of becoming an architect. Man, that was almost as lame as him getting over his ex named Summer by meeting a girl named “Autumn.” Actually, we could probably have an entire supercut devoted entirely to people excitedly drawing equations on chalkboards or windows. Someone get on that. I’m too busy… uh… doing volunteer work.

After the jump, check out “Dancing at the Movies,” an incredibly well-put-together montage of dancing scenes from popular movies.  See if you can name all the movies!  Or don’t, honestly, I probably won’t be paying attention.  It’s set to “Footloose.”  Oh, Kenny Loggins, you golden-throated beam of light from heaven.  Still, my favorite part is definitely the hip thrusting.  Not a lot of people know this, but I’m actually the number one hip thruster in the state.  I can knock potted plants off the shelf from across the room, just from the sheer force of your genital vibrations.  Wait, don’t I mean the force of my genital vibrations? No. No, I do not.

So I was dangling this dork from Pajiba upside-down trying to dislodge his lunch money when out popped this video. It’s a montage of “Get out of there!” scenes from movies. (You may remember this concept from such other montage videos as Mirror Scare, We’ve Got Company, and No Signal).  This one is just as thorough, but the concept isn’t as funny to me.  As much of a cliché as “Get out of there” is, I’ve yelled that in real life almost as many times.  Usually I’m in a bathrobe and shaking my fist at some raccoons, but still, it’s not strange to hear the words.

My sources also tell me there will be a sequel to Get Out of There. Tom Cruise will star in Why, Are There Gays in There?

POST SCRIPT: I think we need to invent a new word for “montage” that’s not all gay and French.  I submit “Clipskrieg.”

This video ponders the question, what would the last 20 minutes of The Shawshank Redemption be like if it were set to an 80s-style montage?  Wait, did Morgan Freeman just say “shitty pipe dreams,”?  Ha, I just got that!
