I love the MASSIVE New York City flat that they're able to afford working as a bartender or waiter.

always thought this about married with children. Shoe salesman is worst paying job EVER, yet he has a 3 story home with 4 bedrooms.

Yeah, but it's rent-controlled.

Car chases. Is anyone still mesmerized with a car chase? My mind drifts if they last longer than 20 seconds.

this and it always comes down to the lead good guy vs the lead bad guy. machine guns, grenades, bombs going off all over the place yet, neither lead guy ever gets hit?

When a character is not looking in the direction they're moving and someone out of frame reaches out and touches the person or bumps into them.
I no longer find it surprising or frightening.

That's one of the reasons mean girls is such a good movie.
Lohan is obviously somewhat awkward because she's from Africa, but she's immediately in the popular crowd because she's hot. Most movies would make her an outcast.

Detective calls up a SWAT team to breach the bad guy's hideout. With all that fire power the detective either leads assault or sends them around back. The detective always gets the kill shot.

You can suffocate someone in like 8 seconds in a movie

Haha yes, I love that the head guy is always somehow tougher and better trained than the mercenaries he uses for his security.

Scenes taking place in New Orleans where everyone is sweating, drinking bourbon, and a ceiling fan turns slowly overhead.
The fact that an outdoor concert is all it takes for two people who couldn't stand each other earlier to all of a sudden fall in love. And the fact that this sudden burst of affection and romance can be easily derailed from just the sight of one of the character's exes.
Nobody ever seems to be able to identify the symptoms of a vampire attack.
Crazy family members showing up at a pivotal time in the main character's career. Usually when they have to impress the job for a big promotion
The stage dive gag.
Bar fights that result in the guy who won the fight being able to walk away and go on about his business and the poor bastard who just got his arse kicked gets carried off by the bouncers.

Handcuffed to a briefcase...(to alert the audience that what he is carrying is super important) - Spies Like Us, Trading Places, Marathon Man, etc.
It's like the loaf of French Bread sticking out of a brown paper bag (hey, that must be groceries!) why else is someone carrying a brown paper bag?
I say, go with the Rucksack from now on or a good European carry-all man-bag, the fancy kind, something Jerry would carry. Doesn't a guy's hand handcuffed to a briefcase signal to thieves...hey! He's probably carrying something really valuable!
It serves no storyline purpose but to not make the audience have to figure anything out.

Nice bump.
My most hated cliché:
The mid thirties man or woman living a spartan lifestyle, seemimgly a hand-to-mouth existence. Maybe making money doing "odd jobs" or making candles or some crafty thing. No real job, so there are no constraints on their time at all.
All of a sudden their new love interest or friend needs money for Something Serious, and after all options are exhausted, it is revealed that our spartan living almost-slacker has a past as a high powered attorney, or inherited millions, or owns a 3-story walkup or brownstone in some toney Manhattan neighborhood. The money is miraculously raised and saves the day!
-----------------
Also, in the same vein, almost nobody in the movies worries about money, and has all the time in the world to do shite.

Your post totally reminds me of 80's NY City bums who live in giant giant lofts in New York.
What do you do for a living?
Oh, I am messenger...on a bike but I used to be a stockbroker, but I can now only afford this giant loft because I am a messenger on a bike!
Oh, I used to be small but now I'm big and just got a job working for company that makes toys...and my paycheck says I've only been paid for one week.
Oh, I am a female welder but I dance on the weekends sans pole.

fight scenes where the bad guy has the good guy pinned down and is either very close to strangling him or stabbing him, and the good guy gets out of it by inexplicably throwing the bad guy off despite having no leverage.
