I hate the typical Mirror Scare used in horror movies or the typical "You can do it" type of family films where there is this outcast creature that is misunderstood but ends up saving everyone.

The horror movie endings where the bad guy wakes up or something is shown that says the dilemma isn't over.

When a movie that realistically wouldn't end happy somehow ends with the whole world in a euphoric state of mind.

Or how about the conflict between two people (oftentimes a relationship) where one finds out someting about the other and comes to hate that person (usually for a stupid reason) and yet ultimately ends up forgiving him/her anyway in the end. Oooooor, anything Michael Bay does.

The one where their is a pastor of a small rural church and he is having a crisis of faith and tries to console a man who is tormented by bad anxiety and the pastor tells him only of his trouble of faith and life, so the man later commits suicide.

When the guy/girl falls in love with the least likely guy/girl they thought they would fall in love with.

Oh God. I remember early in the last decade when every single movie and TV show had to have a vomit scene.

The bad guy is back and he is here to cause nothing but trouble. Don't forget the typical "Disaster has happened since the good guy left".

Firearms that look like they have the weight of toys, clicking and clattering as soon as they're slightly touched.

The nerds getting hot girls in college movies (yeah, sure).

Computers that could hack into the President's underwear.

Witty remarks during high intensity fighting/action scenes, with a close up on the character's face (the worst).

I absolutely HATE romantic comedies where the protagonists despise each other at first but "inadvertedly" end up falling for each other... SO lame. ¬_¬'

Half of all damn movies feature a scene with the Heimlich maneuver...must be compensation for another kind of maneuver.

Action movie thing where the villain is supposedly defeated but you just know they're going to get back to fighting again, which of course they do. This is so cliche that it's actually more surprising when they DON'T do it.

The mirror scare used in horror movies might be cliche, but it does freak me out thinking about it sometimes when I look in a mirror.

  • The rich are naturally selfish and evil and the poor are of course noble and pure.
  • Couples unnaturally hiding their nudity from their partner (American and Asian films).
  • Making certain plot points too obvious so even the dunderheads out there will understand...or will they?
  • Trying too hard to make every fight scene an epic music video...unless they succeed of course! :P
  • Post disaster/apocalypse settings involving a police or army unit insisting on "controlling" things despite the obvious need to band together.
  • People shooting things from a very, VERY long distance...with a shotgun! Yays!
  • People that get killed off for no good reason in a sad attempt to stir up false emotions as they are rather undeveloped (unless of course they're a slasher movie archetype then THEY DESERVE TO DIE!!! of course...ahem)

Rom-coms based around a divorced couple. The woman remarries/gets engaged to a high flying business man who has a huge ego, usually messes up by not being able to cope with the smart-alec 9 year old kid(s).

In fact, all rich high flying business men seem to get the arse end of the deal.

In squads, the black guy always has the biggest gun and/or a demolitions expert. Almost always the loudest.

Those red cups that are present at EVERY high school or college party.

Throwing up at the most inappropriate time. The only time that has ever made me laugh was on The Inbetweeners.

Guns that have infinite ammo, in particular revolvers that fire about 12-16 shots.

The Wilhelm scream.

Computers that could hack into the President's underwear.wide_ocean

For some reason that made me laugh really hard. :lol:

  • people being horrible shots (i.e stormtroopers) while the hero runs away in direct fire for a full minute.
  • the romantic comedy- fall in love at the 30 min mark, breaking up at the 60 min mark, then getting getting back together (seems everyone agrees)
  • people taking cover from gunfire behind something with the same amount of protection from a bullet as cardboard, i.e tables.
  • hot girls having a strong sense of morals and kindness, yet dates the most cliche d-bag jock.
  • when that same girl finally sees her BF for who he is when the main character has an interest in her, despite that they usually have been dating for years
  • disaster movies: "sir theres something wrong" *removes glasses* "my god....its sooner/faster then we thought". the ending (last chance to save everything): "somethings wrong! theres a malfunction!" hero (who is usually a cab driver/author/teacher) saves the day.
  • love movies: the perfect 10 who "has a hard time finding someone"
  • underdog sports movies (coach carter, we are the titans, we are marshal"). nothing specific they themselves are cliches. and horrible
  • the low income slacker who has a $2,000 a month apartment
  • the renegade cop movies in general.
  • someone breaking 20 laws to catch the bad guy and doesn't get charged.

Where a tragic event happens yet somehow the elderly and children survive with the adults dying in pain, but its okay because the children and elderly are fine. Also i say a cliche in disaster movies lately most typically 2012 and day after tomorrow where in the end the specific group survive the apoclypse and the movie trys to perceive it to be a happy ending completely ignoring the fact that millions died.
