Yeah I remember watching Independence Day in the pictures and the whole city had just been wiped out but everyone in the Cinema gave a huge sigh of relief when the dog survived here

Time travel being used as a device to bring a much-loved character back from the dead.

That no one in a horror movie has ever seen a horror movie

Or that the teenage kid will always do the one stupid thing they are warned not to do

When at the end of a film the bad guy who appears to be dead comes back for one last attempt to kill the good person.

Superheros are completely indistinguishable from their normal everyday look in life when they take off their glasses, throw on a cape and Lycra suit.

Bad guy has the good guy at his mercy. Just as he's about to pull the trigger he gets shot/stabbed/hit over the head by good guy's female companion who we don't see until bad guy collapses.

Loads from cop movies, particularly from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
Cops are always paired up with their polar opposite.
They do their best work when suspended from duty (usually suspended completely unfairly by a gruff unreasonable chief of police).
They’re always given an unrealistic time frame to solve the case - 48 hours!
Despite working in a stressful, dangerous situation, there’s always time for wisecracks. And a trip to the local strip joint.

A slow closing lift door.

Any man & women who initially hate each other are guaranteed to have sex.

No one ever goes to an underground carpark without being followed, tracked, car bombed, kidknapped, attacked etc.

Tell me how

A car chase on the freeway.

A nitro boosted supercar travels for miles while a truck with a 40ft container or oil tanker keeps pace with it.

Tell me how

Whenever someone turns on the TV, it is perfectly timed to watch critical information or the start of the show.

No crap ads to wade through or 50 seconds promo piece for a show on Dave or Comedy Central you've seen 37 times already.

You forgot one. Meeting a person standing in the shadows with crucial information who gets scared, says “I’ve already said too much” and disappears just before revealing the final crucial piece of the puzzle.

There is always a parking space outside the police station.

If the kid says they saw a monster/ghost/the future or anything creepy like that, they will be ignored.

Training is done via montage.

Main character in a teen movie, who is usually unpopular at the beginning, will lead a dance number at their prom where everyone knows the moves. "You would never suspect that everyone at this school is a professional dancer"

outside anywhere, forgivable though as you don't want a 5 min scene finding parking :pac:

I love the scene in Dredd where he openly admits he's doing exactly that
