Movie Cliches People Never Really See


If only life were like the movies, but most of the time, no such luck. Yes, it'd be nice to cruise carelessly down freeways with no traffic in sight, in the middle of rush hour. Yes, it'd be beautiful to have a flowing conversation between a group of people, where nobody is talking over each other. For now, we get to experience those pleasant moments on movies. If we're lucky, we see some of it carry over into our actual lives. 


1.

Text - scottiebass • 4h No matter what crowded city or time of day it is, there will ALWAYS be an open parking spot right| exactly in front of wherever they're driving to.

2.

Text - android-unknown • 4h The "nerdy" girl letting her hair down and suddenly becoming hot.

3.

Text - Rathmec • 4h A room full of 5+ people that have a conversation that flows perfectly and isn't just people constantly talking over each other.

4.

Text - insert-username12 • 4h Asking someone out on a date, saying "pick you up at 8". Then just leaving, no question on where the fuck they live or where they'll pick them up from.

5.

Text - -TheAnimal- • 4h People taking like 20 stronger punches right on the chin like nothing

6.

Text - supersonic-hedgehog • 4h Getting knocked out cold and being perfectly fine

7.

Text - ionlydrinkwithme • 3h I was a Chef for 20 years. I waited 20 years for some to say "You're bleeding!" (one often is in the kitchen) Just so I could reply "I ain't got time to bleed!" Quote from The Predator. It never happened.

8.

Text - RRuruurrr • 4h No one ever wants to give their partner the benefit of the doubt. So many characters get caught doing something seemingly suspicious that could be explained/justified by giving context. But, of course, no one wants to take the ten seconds to hear it.

Text - ThatDood1_ • 4h "There's no time to explain!" Well...I mean, in the same time it took to say that, you could have said "there's a man chasing after me!" Or "we have to get to the hospital!" Or literally any other simple phrase that gives a general idea of what the hell is happening

10.

Text - kingpurple50 4h Everyone is super attractive

11.

Text - troublelady14 • 4h The "meet cute". Where two folks bump into each other at the grocery store and end up chatting, then dating, then breaking up over a misunderstanding, then getting back together.

12.

White - Devilspocket • 4h The slow clap

13.

Text - Aakshaj • 4h No smoke when there is fire

14.

Text - erichthonius_mega • 4h I don't think l've ever seen one person miss a Basketball shot in a movie, ever. Except in Basketball movies.

15.

Text - chalupanus • 4h. Everyone is a gourmet chef in movies. Most people in real life struggle to follow the directions on a microwaved TV dinner.

16.

Text - oldmanjim1 • 4h Whenever there is a 'chase' scene involving a train, the chased/chasee (if such a word exists) always moves from carriage to carriage via interior doors, then jumps off, or ends up on the roof of the last carriage and then runs the whole length of the train, again, then jumps off, or hijacks the train, and then takes 'control'.

17.

Text - TannedCroissant • 4h Bit of a curveball but my girlfriend always points out how if someone leaves a voicemail where they say how much they love their girlfriend/wife/ husband etc, then they're basically dying in the next scene. I am now terrified of leaving her voicemails.

18.

Text - Nerizady • 4h I've never seen someone carrying a loaf of french bread sticking out of their bag

19.

Text - Vlinder_88 • 3h A guy stalking his crush and her eventually falling for it. You're a creep dude!

20.

Text - PosNegTy • 4h I love Sons of Anarchy but one thing always bugged me about it. Motorcycle chase scenes with old Impalas or similar vehicles. Even larger motorcycles can accelerate and corner much better than a car from the 70's.

21.

Text - Scroobiusness • 4h 1 Award When two characters get out of a car and one says "so what are we doing here?", "where are we?" Or "what's the plan?" As if they didn't just have the entire car ride to discus this. I've never had a friend say "I'll explain later!" And then sit silently in traffic until we get there and then "okay so here the deal..."

22.

Text - _Got_Tiny_Meat • 4h Having a table full of breakfast in the morning and taking only a strip of bacon in a rush to school/ work.

23.

White - deepfriedpotatos • 4h Food fights

24.

Text - Shiny_Mega_Rayquaza • 3h Driving anywhere and not getting stuck in traffic

25.

Text - tgruff77 · 4h Walking up to a bar and just asking for "a beer". What brand of beer? A bottle or from the tap? No just "a beer".

26.

Text - TOOBytoon • 3h Traffic in big cities being shown as sparse and fast moving.

27.

Text - goat-of-mendes • 4h It seems like every bag of groceries in a movie or tv show has a baguette and something green and leafy sticking out of the top. I've never seen groceries like that in real life.

28.

Text - CohibaVancouver • 3h People having a complex conversation in the corner of a nightclub or music performance where they're not shouting at the top of their lungs just to get out a few monosyllabic words.

29.

Text - stop_selling_drugs • 2h I'm trying to get in shape. I would really prefer a 3 minute montage instead of the way I'm doing it right now.

30.

Text - "I can explain!" -30 minutes later, still hasn't explained-

31.

Text - Yovid-19 • 5h People hanging up the phone without saying goodbye.

32.

Text - Afraid_By_Snow • 5h someone slipping on a banana skin (btw great question hope you get to hot !)

33.

Text - felipe_the_dog • 3h Nobody has ever said "we've got company" to me without referring to actual houseguests. I guess because l've never been chased by bad guys.
