Film Clich�

Which one bugs you the most?

A single cough signals that the person is fatally ill.

The geek ends up having a make-over and then becomes the most popular boy/girl in class.

[Joe Shmoe]

Me again. If the hero asks questions in the pub the barman uses the telephone to contact the baddy.
The baddy always explains his plans in full before saying". now you Must die".
If there is a crowd of people waiting for a lift the person who pushed the button is the last one to get in.
There is always a cat and two dustbins in every alley.
Everyone knows karate.
There is always a nun in an airport and a gang of bikers in an American pub.:-D

When people want someone to phone them, whilst standing in the distance they hold a pretend phone to their ear and mouth out the words "Call me" and then they exchange cheesy smiles.

The cop who solves the crime is always the one who was suspended or laid off from his job.

Single women always watch movies cross legged, wearing nothing but a man's shirt, and eating ice cream straight out the tub (usually Julia Roberts?)

Women always wear dungarees when painting their flat and smear paint on their face by accident. They always seem to look like they are having loads of fun and the husband smiles at her from the doorway in approval.

Whenever the navigator says during a car journey, "Where are we?" and looks puzzled at their map, it's the law that they end up down some lonely dirt track and ask the local psycho for directions.

The most common cliche I've seen is that cars never start when someone is trying to drive off quickly but they always manage to start them just at the very last minute (usually just as the murderer is about to drag them out the car)

Guns always jam at the worst possible moment.

You can always park directly outside any public building.

Somone says they are going to shoot the hero. There is the sound of a gun going off. Cut to the hero's partner standing with a pistol in outstreched hands having just shot the bad guy.

Any man who complains about being single will meet a girl and start a relationship within 5 miniutes of saying it.

Everyone in England lives in central London. Usually within sight of Big Ben. Even those with no income whatsoever.

[Rumford]

This happens more in older movies. At the end of the film the wife of the hero suddenly announces that she's pregnant. The hero is totally surprised as if this was some sort of spontaneous event.

[elect]

When people are in restaurants, order loads of food, play with it, but never eat it, and also when they buy burgers, take one bite, then throw it in a bin.

[Rumford]

Male character is halfway through a shave. Has to rush off. Wipes shaving cream from remaining half of face - lo and behold he is clean shaven.

[natalie_1982]

In the Rovers Return they never pay for drinks, and nobody gets barred no matter how many times they order a drink and then walk out in a strop without paying for it. They don't even charge them the next time. The stock takes in Weatherfield must be horrendous.

[jessiedog]

A bunch of flowers always goes straight in the bin

Wedding/engagement rings are thrown in river/lake/sea (have these people never heard of ebay?)

Clothes and possessions are always thrown out of an upstairs window.

[tara20]

You never see anyone having to find a parking space.Even in city centres they always seem to be able to stop right outside the door. No going five times round the block or having to park half a mile away!

[LeedsRhinos]

We've gotta get out of here.

[nobfelt2]

American girls in distress can instantly Kick box to stun the baddy without any previous instruction.

[nobfelt2]

A crashing car must flip at least 5 times before landing on it's roof. The driver must have a slight scratch on his or her forehead.

[nobfelt2]

You in a forrest, it's 1AM, thankfully there is enough moon light so be able to see my compas/find my gun/pitch my tent but dark enough to hide from the baddy/ghost/Others!

[nobfelt2]

Shooting a petrol tank always makes the car explode.

I saw the mythbusters try blowing up a car (on the discovery channel) by shooting the pertol tank and they coulnd do it, even using those tracer bullets that get so hot they glow!

[nobfelt2]

Ooops, previous post should say "could not do it"

[clairey-s]

when a woman's just had a baby and her makeup is perfect, shes not sweating and thers not a hair out of place

when somone (ok this is cartoons mostly) is bieng chased by something down a road or w/e they keep running straight instead of js goin to the side outta the way!! gr!!

[airbolt]

If you are a Good Guy then you can fire a Heavy Calibre Machine Gun single handed without Breaking your arm! ( See Rambo firing an M60 - I am told he would break his arms and shoot the ceiling! )

If you are Clint Eastwood then you can fire two MP40 Machine Pistols AND never reload AND hit several Germans with one Bullet! Oh, you can probably keep your 1960's haircut even if you are in a World War 2 Film!

If you are Bruce Willis , You can crash through Plate Glass with only a few cuts ( as opposed to massive Bleeding and Death )

If you work for the Villain then you trained at the Stevie Wonder aiming school - how any of these clueless no-hopers ever were in the military is anyones Guess .

[jenky]

just wanted to be answer 100.
