Phone calls and knocks on the door are answered immediately. In general, about 2/3 of real life is waiting for something to happen. It's the opposite in movies.

Exactly. Movies aren't shown in real time. If they were, most movies would be days or weeks long.

People who die/shot in the head screaming while falling off the roof of a building.

Phone booths in the middle of nowhere.
Random people being able to drive like stunt drivers.

When ordering a drink the line will be , " I'll have a beer" or "whiskey".

Action movies, especially older ones, have the most accurate hip shooters I've ever seen. Specifically talking about the good guys.

In some movies, characters let the phone ring for an unbelievable amount of time, long after you'd expect it to go to voicemail, the answering machine to pick up, or the caller to give up.

The way someone always cocks a shotgun before intial use.

That always bugs the crap out of me. It's usually something like a ransom situation, and the characters will spend five minutes planning what to say, just letting the phone ring and ring. If they miss the call, they might never see their child again, and they don't seem to give a shite.

Movies let you know that they are now out in the wilds by the scream of a Red-tailed Hawk. Commercials have picked up on it too. Not that it makes no sense but they do it every facking time. It's almost reached the point of being beyond a cliche.
Also, bird calls that are just plain wrong for the location or time of day. Justified likes using Whippoorwills during the day - just wrong. And Cactus Wren which is just stupid for Kentucky. Sure, most viewers (99.9%) won't pick up on it but why not get it right?

You've never ordered a whiskey at the bar?

People who wake up in bed with their faces millimeters from each other carrying on a conversation. You can't tell me there's 2 people with pleasant morning breath that just so happened to end up together.
This! I can deal with all the others, but for some reason this drives me the most insane.

Tombstone scene where Doc fires 20 or so rounds from two single action Colts

It always has to be done on-screen?

There's always a scene where a couple people meet for dinner or drinks at a bar and don't even end up eating what they ordered or they take 1 shot at the bar and then leave
