When there is a crowd yelling and cheering. I swear they all use the same lame track over and over. I hear the same person screaming!

On that same note, that crowd shriek sound when someone falls over in a group of people or something shocking happens. Also the cat sound when someone throws something off screen and supposedly hits a cat.

When a fight in a bar breaks out, nearly everyone in the place begins fighting, spontaneously and without cause--even with people they've have been sitting next to for some time.
In any movie where the villain is a really, really bad guy, whose dysfunction and malice transcend that of the ordinary evildoer, he establishes that fact early in the film by coldly killing one of his own men.
A major star in a film about army recruits going through basic training will never have their head shaved completely. Their hair will merely be short (e.g., Bill Murray and Harold Ramis in "Stripes," Richard Gere in "An Officer and a Gentleman.")
No one in the movies ever goes to the toilet to perform the usual bodily functions. Instead they use the room to take illegal drugs, commit suicide, make a criminal deal, kill someone trapped in a stall, get killed or sneak out through the window.
In action pictures, when explosions hurl stunt men into the air, it is always obvious that they have just jumped on a trampoline.
People who fall through plate glass often suffer severe lacerations, but the protagonist in an action movie can bust through (or be thrown through) plate glass and emerge unscathed.
When a character drives somewhere in an overcrowded, gridlocked city such as L.A. or New York, there is always a convenient parking space directly in front of his destination.
Rope and plank bridges are never shown in a film unless they are going to fail. Ropes will be cut, burned, or frayed. In the case of planks, someones foot will fall through the rotten wood.

Is this hotel pager friendly?

-Any explosive created by protaganist seems to always have that 10 orders of magnitude nuclear touch.

It's obvious that someone needs to watch Naked Gun 2 1/2 again...

Yeah, I thought them all up myself. ;) Here are some more I came up with:
No movie character who catches on fire has apparently heard of “stop, drop and roll.” They assume the adage to be Panic, Run and Flail. Repeat until burnt to cinder. This is true even for characters whose professions would suggest they know better, like policemen, firefighters and soldiers.
Any ferocious animal, monster, etc., upon cornering its prey, will slow down to a menacing creep and begin to snarl, growl or otherwise attempt to terrify. Unfortunately for the beast, this always gives his quarry time to escape.
An ancient tradition. Any vehicular chase sequence must involve the upturning or smashing of a cart of fruit, such as one would find along a street or in a farmers market. These crashes (which may occur in mid-chase, or as the grand finale) precipitate much strategic leaping by merchants, shoppers, and other pedestrians (played by stunt persons) who fling themselves out of harms way in the nick of time.
In any movie where an athlete must raise himself to another level, there is always a scene in which he/she is seen working out in preposterous ways. This may involve running through crowds that throw fruit at you ("Rocky"), having champagne glasses set up on hurdles ("Chariots of Fire") or balancing on the bow of a rowboat in the ocean ("The Karate Kid"). A musical corollary is found in "Mr. Holland's Opus," in which a music student dons a football helmet while the music teacher drums his head with a mallet, an action which would lead to dismissal and litigation in real life.
Even though ghosts desperately want to keep anyone from occupying the houses they haunt, they never bother to show up until the new owners have signed on the dotted line. Since rattling chains during the Open House would save them a lot of trouble, it is obvious that ghosts are repelled by realtors.
Whenever an inexperienced or reluctant public speaker steps up to the microphone, he is greeted with a shrill blast of feedback when he begins to speak.
When a hand grenade falls near a good guy, he is able to: a) pick it up before it detonates and throw it back to the issuing bad guy, or b) run and leap out of the path of exploding shrapnel, usually in slow-motion. But when a bad guy is on the receiving end of a grenade, all he can muster is a shocked expression before being blown to bits.
The chances of a heroine conceiving a child with the hero from a one-night stand skyrocket if the hero dies later in the film ("The Fly," "Terminator," "Cold Mountain").
Whenever a scared, cynical woman who never wants to fall in love again is pursued by an ardent suitor who wants to breach her wall of loneliness, she will go grocery shopping. Her bags will always break to (1) symbolize the mess her life is in, or (2) so that the suitor can help her pick up the pieces of her life and her oranges.
Whenever one or more police officers stop for a bite to eat, usually at a hot dog stand or greasy spoon diner, a crime is about to be committed. The officer never gets to take more than one bite of his sandwich before dropping it to pursue the suspect.
If a hot tub is seen in a movie, people will take their clothes off and get in it. If the women have large breasts, its a T&A movie. If the women have small breasts, its a drama or a foreign film. If the women keep their underwear on, its a coming-of-age movie. If its a slasher movie or a thriller, there will be an electrical appliance located nearby.
This is a spot on the back of the human head or neck, which when struck renders the victim immediately unconscious. Mr. Spock just had to touch it, but even weak humans can make the mightiest warriors go lights out. To take just one film as an example: In "The Princess Bride," Wesley switches off Inigo after their swordfight, Rugen switches off Westley after the Fire Swamp, and Fezzik switches off the Albino outside the Pit of Despair.
Movie characters have an amazing ability to turn on the TV precisely at the moment when a newscaster begins a report on something directly relating to them.

Dumb and Dumber would also be an exception......loved that scene by the way.

In all action movies set in Mexico, sooner or later a gang of tough guys will corner the hero and laugh at him in unison while using the word "gringo."
No matter how fast the would-be victim runs, the slasher can always keep up just by walking steadily.
When a comic actor makes out with an extremely beautiful person, the kiss is often revealed to be nothing more than a dream sequence, and in fact the actor is being licked by a slobbering animal.
When the heroine of a Chick Movie has her inevitable mid-film breakup with the male lead, we know that she is lonely because she will consume a pint of Haagen-Dazs ice cream in one sitting, often while watching an old black-and-white tearjerker on television. The converse of this rule is that when Chick Movie heroine is happily in love, she will lip-sync to Motown tunes, often using a hair brush as a microphone.
Whenever a storm at sea capsizes boats and leaves the shipwreck survivors adrift and helpless, the next dawn finds them sprawled on a beach. It is always a nice, clear day.

Oh man, back when I thought kst8cat was coming up with those on his own I was devising my plans on how to make him myself and him BFFs! Great list anyway.

Wedding movies during the ceremony when the priest says does anyone have any reason why these two should not be married and then the guy she really wants to be with shows up right at that time and says yeah and then they leave together. pretty much wedding movies in general.
someone is riding shotgun in a car and they are driving next to someone and the person that in riding shotgun is going all crazy and the people that are next to them usually its an old lady or young kid or someone unexpected flips them the bird and then drives off. or were there driving and hot chicks flash there who ha's at them.
also nerd gets beat up by "bad guy popular guy" then "good guy popular guy" steps in and says hey thats enough. or the bad guys girlfriend steps in and stops it and then by the end of the movie the nerdy guy ends up w/ the bad guys girlfriend.

Oh yeah. This one is infuriating. Really gives dorky smart kids a false sense of hope. In real life girls absolutely love the mean popular guys....even moreso when they pick on the little guy. Girls are just bitches like that.

When an unimportant stooge of the bad guy is shot, he will fall over and die immediately. But when the main villain is shot, he will remain standing, slowly looking down at the growing blood stain on his chest
Most Undernoticed Overused Movie Dialogue: "You just dont get it, do ya?"
When characters in movies receive wrapped presents, the lid is usually wrapped separately from the box--presumably so that if the scene has to be reshot, the gift can be "re-wrapped" quickly.
Heroes in movies who fall from great heights will land on shrubs, cardboard boxes, awnings, or something else that cushions their fall. Villains land on steel fence posts, or in the path of a speeding bus.
Whenever a movie requires the use of military-style radio transmission, if any numbers are being transmitted, one of them will always be "Niner," because it sounds so cool.
You will never actually love a film that claims you will love it because you liked another film. Examples: "If you liked A Fish Called Wanda, you'll love Nuns on the Run." Or "If you liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you'll love Cool World."
Standard scene in romance: Romeo rushes out into dark and stormy night to a pay-phone to call Juliet. He puts in quarter and dials. Juliet answers: "Hello? HELLO?" Romeo says nothing, and hangs up. Juliet hears the dial tone and stares at the receiver, wondering who it could have possibly have been.
Whenever a character displays an unusual talent or trick early in a thriller, it will later be used to save his or her life.
No car in a movie ever jumps over a curb without hitting a fire hydrant, which immediately splits open and sprays high into the air.
When it is stated that "only one man can (solve this crime, save the world, bring this man to justice, etc.)," you can be sure that one man is now retired or was kicked off the force and must now be lured into action.
Containers of urine in the movies have a surprisingly good chance of being either spilled or drunk.
Hundreds of people can be killed in a movie trailer, but any endangered dog or cat must be shown alive and unharmed by the end of the trailer. This is also true of the full film. An example is "Meet the Fockers," where the dog emerges unharmed from the toilet. Another is the opening of "Armageddon," where New York City is devastated, but the dog survives uninjured.
If the bad guy attacks the good guy with a sharp object during a fight and it gets embedded in the wall or floor, the bad guy will be killed by it, generally by falling on it.
Any lay person who gets behind the wheel of a golf cart will eventually drive the vehicle into the nearest body of water.
When a character intends to confess something and says, "There's something I have to tell you," the other person immediately confesses, "I have something to tell you first," prompting the original character to say, "Oh, never mind."
Any two women who are pregnant in the same movie will deliver at the same time.
In movies, ghosts pass through all walls whether they want to or not, no matter what the walls are made of. They never, however, fall through floors.
In any scene where a character barges into someone else's office (boss, co-worker, enemy), the barges secretary will always scold the character, warning him or her not to go into the office. The character will then disregard the warning and go in anyway, which leaves the secretary trying to stop the intrusion to no avail.

You can see the thing from 42 miles away. I imagine you can see it from anywhere in Paris.
