We all know they're there, some are so engraved on the screen and in our minds that we hardly think about them anymore.
Well, this is the thread where we do! If you can think of some (or many) movie cliches that annoy you to no end or just some funny ones, post them and we can enlighten each other.
The following are just a few select cliches;
No matter how big a public building is, there's always just ONE person cleaning it.
The person cleaning is usually an elderly black male or a fat, grumpy caucasian woman who smokes.
People who smoke are criminals or of criminal intent.
Almost every single student in a public school is slim, those who are fat or obese have poor grades and are much less intelligent than the people with glasses.
People with glasses are smart.
Any car, regardless of make or model, can easily perform and survive 60' jumps and speed on.
Ocean water is never murky.
People with muscles are violent.
Black people and latino people can NEVER speak proper or fluent english.
The only legal way of ingesting beer in the US is by way of a red plastic cup.
14 years old boys have heavy beardstubbles (because the actors are 25).
When a date has ended, or someone is suggesting a date for someone, the person is always beatiful, smart and funny. Those, apparently, are the three only positive traits people may have.
People who play football have trouble at home, and the quarterback always has a hidden side of melancholy an deep insight.
The cheerleaders also have this side, because they have such strong personalities (lol).
It is by no means possible to disarm a bomb before the timer shows 1 second left.
Women must make sure to hide their bodies from their man after sex.
Every time someone goes shopping, they come home with a humongous baguette protruding from the grocery bag, and probably carrots.
Surveillance cameras get better and better resolution the more you zoom in.
When being chased trough a tall building, people will always seek to run UPstairs towards the roof and unevitably be forced to halt once they're there.
Once on the rooftop, the antagonist must make an informative speech, so the protagonist knows every detail of the intricate plan before another comes and shoots the antagonist in the back.
Russians are terrorists and their national sport is smuggling uranium.
Binoculars provide audio; when you look at someone who are a mile off, you can easily hear them through the binoculars as long as you keep them in sight.
That's just to kick off, feel free to give me your movie cliches!!
