-People hanging from a cliff or other precipice by their fingertips.
-Five minute chase scenes--on foot.
-Professional soldiers shooting at the hero and always missing, but the hero having perfect aim every time.
-Most car chase scenes
-Five minute fight scenes in which no one is severely injured or even cut.
-People running and jumping between buildings or through windows without destroying their ankles and/or knees.
-People going through glass without getting shredded by it.
-James Bond doesn't have AIDS or some other STD.
-The way that Spiderman makes webs in the recent movies is unrealistic not because he's a super hero but because his body would have to generate the web material (where does that come from? Where is it stored?) as well as expend energy to shoot it. Where does this energy come from? Where does the raw material come from? Where does Parker store it?
-Lois Lane is stupid enough not to make the connection between Clark Kent and Superman.
-People holding their breathe for several minutes AND swim/fight under water.
I'm sure I can add more.
Edit: Like, when a car gets shot in the gas tank, it explodes.

The motorcycle bullshite in The Dark Knight. Batman can be flying full speed at a brick wall, manage to ride up it and get turned around yet when he see's the joker(or was it a car?) a couple hundred feet ahead he loses control and falls over.

Based on the most recent superman movie, you would have to include most of the staff at the newspaper. Clark Kent and Superman both disappear and reappear around the same time and nobody figures it out, except possibly Jimmy Olsen at the end

And she nailed Superman. Had sex with the guy but can't recognize him with a pair of glasses on. Not much of a reporter.
The hanging over a cliff or ledge by one hand or finger really annoys me too.

Are you really going to complain about how spider man shoots his web yet you fully accept that a man all of a sudden has spider like abilities.

In a real world movie, they should try and stick to realistic human behavior.
I actually think the candle thing bugs me most. I remember the Friends episode when Chandler proposes to Monica and he comes into her apartment and there are like a 100 lit candles.
In real life if a person has more than 10 candles in their house, you better watch out cause they have a hot wax fetish.

The Strangers, good movie but...
3 things that kill me about this movie
1-chic after several minutes of psyche terror lets her husband leave her alone to 'go to the car'....not a chance in hell that is happening
2-dude puts a shotgun round right through the front door at one of the killers head and they dont leave like they have this all planned out and they can 'still do this' even though he has a freakin shotgun....yah right
3-friend comes into house and doesnt make a sound after noticing all the destruction and having his window busted out....no HEY GUYS, WHATS GOING ON...promptly gets waxed.
ugh just killed this movie for me because it was very disturbing but couldve been done so much better.

As someone pointed out earlier, it's aggravating when main characters can receive incoming gunfire from all directions and never get hit, yet they can single-handedly shoot gobs of their opponents.
To take it a step further, when someone is dropping people, often people armed with AK-47's or other rifles at that, with a damn handgun at stupid unrealistic distances. I swear that no Hollywood producer has ever fired a damn handgun b/c popping someone with a pistol at 50 yards is damn near impossible to do...

Or puking all over the place because they would be extremely exhausted after 2 minutes if they are regular people.

James Bond is of course the number one offender when it comes to bad guys revealing their plot and setting in motion the rube goldberg device to kill Bond. Just a cheap exposition device to explain the whole plot to the audience because evidently we can't figure it out on our own.

Someone firing off several rounds with a fully automatic weapon, then having the ability to hear the guy sneaking up behind them step on a twig and then whip around and take the guy out.
It don't work like that. You can't hear shite after firing a high powered firearm for a prolonged period without ear protection.
