This is a really funny site I found, it has lists of (wait for it) yes, movie cliches. And yes, some of them are really funny and uh, cliched! :D
Some of my faves -
Men on rafts, jungles, deserts or other extended duty don't have to carry razors because their beards don't grow. Counterpoint: Unless they drink, in which case 3-day stubble appears in 3 hrs.More often than not, the best method to revive somebody after their heart has stopped, assuming that there has already been a lengthy attempt to revive them with CPR, those electric zapperthings, ect, is screaming at them something like:
"You never backed away from anything in your life, now fight! Fight! FIIIIGHT!" or
"You can't do this to me! I love you, goddammit!"When someone lights a match in a dark old house, the single match has as much power as a 1000 watt bulb! Alternatively, they light a match, and then light an old oil lamp which has a vast amount of power.
The hero lives in New York City working at some okay, but not particularly high-paying job, and yet he or she has a roomy apartment filled with nice stuff, generally with a good view, and sometimes a nice, romantic rooftop to go to. Me: See Stigmata, I mean she's a friggin hairdresser for crying out loud!
Smokers smoke only when there is a romantic or dramatic reason to. At other times the smoker has no need of cigarettes.
Women will always have shaved legs and armpits, even in caveman movies. Me: I was thinking the same thing watching Lost the other day
Whenever anyone knocks out anyone else and takes their clothes, it's always a flawless fit.
There's also a whole section devoted to the movie Independence Day.

Movie Cliches
Funnily enough, I was wondering much the same thing the other day while watching Lost. I mean, they've been on this island now for 50+ days and the men only have about a five-day growth instead of full beards, and where the hell are the women getting the razors to keep those armpits perfectly hair-free? They should all look like Yeti-women by now!

I know, and they're always prancing around in those bikini's... I mean really it should be like Planet of the Apes by now :wink:
I also really loved this one -

If you are one of the beautiful people on Lost you must have been able to afford Laser Hair Removaltm...it'll take more than 50 days to regrow that...but rest assured by 180+ days they'll be furrier than a wookie.
