Some clichés I've noticed in movies.
Horror:
- Naked girls
- Lots of screaming
- Jumpy scenes due to sound effects
- Closing eyes while the bad guy is right behind them
- Looking in the mirror, opening so we don't see the mirror, and closing the mirror where the bad guy is right behind them
- The group will separate and die one by one
- Characters have time to stop, cry and comfort each other, and most likely have sex with the serial killer still on the loose
Action:
- Explosions occur quite often
- People who are dying saying something beautiful
- Unlimited ammo
- Everyone knows how to hijack cars without it beeping
- When people are on the run, they look back a lot
- The guy with a common object (a pipe or vase) will defeat the bad guy with the gun
- You can open lock by shooting at it
- Spies and secret agents hide their identity by living luxuriously, not blending in
- Saying: "Is that the best you can do?" and "I've got a bad feeling about this."
- A sexy woman who can handle firearm will be able to shoot with accuracy while her opponent constantly misses, despite her running in high heels
Psychological Thriller:
- The whole thing was a dream
- They were imagining the whole thing
- The bad guy was actually themselves
- Lots of hallucinations that seem realistic
Romance:
- The man is a bad boy and the woman is innocent
- The heroine is "average" looking but ends up having an amazing personality and intelligence that the man cannot resist
- When the couple makes up after a fight or break up, they will kiss in a crowd (passionately, usually with the girl's hands grabbing man's face) and the camera will circle them, zoom out, and show the near-future where the couple are happily together
- An ex-wife never chases her ex-husband, but the ex-husband will flirt his way back to his ex-wife's heart
- Men really care about everything and listen to everything the woman has to say and disregard their own feelings/thoughts
- If two people hate each other at first, they will end up being in love
- The ugly girl turns into a swan, even though her "ugly" is actually kinda pretty
Comedy:
- If there is a duo, one is very charming/popular and the other is a black sheep
- Excessive cursing
- Minor injuries
- Usually has a party going on (drugs and drinks included)
