Let's not forget Natalia and Boris's conversations over the internet in Goldeneye.

"I need 23 modems" made me laugh.

or how about when someone does some sort of physical activity in a movie (i.e, running, rollar skating, playing basketball/volleyball/etc.) they ALWAYS sweat profusely? They have HUGE arm pit stains; the back of their shirt is drenched neatly down the middle; their chest has a nice neat sweat streak down the center.

One of the worst cliches, most recently in this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393735/

Where the father doesnt love and puts pressure on his kid to play football (or any sport for that matter)

I'm sick of movies starring some famous actor who plays a coach of some youth team that becomes unlikely champions of sports like Basketball, Football, Baseball etc.
OVER FUCKING DONE. WHY DO THEY KEEP RELEASING THESE MOVIES?

Well, that's not as bad, while those movies weren't the first of their kind they had necessary aspects of originality - I liked them.

These days it feels like they have a new group of losers with some famous actor coaching them and inspiring them in some way every few weeks.

Whenever anything catches fire, it explodes. It can even be a wooden fence.

When someone gets shot with a handgun, it just blows them off their feet and through a pane of glass.

Cars that get into an accident during a chase never seem to get flats or just stall out.

Every single time you need to call for help on a phone, the friggin' wire is cut.

....and every single time you need to start a car to get away, the battery is dead.
