Is there any movie cliches that annoy you or you just find funny? Such as how in movies with single dads, the mom/wife always dies in a car crash. Or how the teenagers in Friday the 13th always trip but never get up. I could go on all day.

There are cliches, and there are tropes. Maybe you'd like to look at the TV Tropes website.

Tropes aren't quite cliches, but they do tend to get overused.

Watch out! TV Tropes is highly addictive and a maze of cross-referencing.

You can start reading TV Tropes and end up spending hours looking up different things, from specific tropes to series, it is also good for remembering jokes and other cool parts.

Mad doctor has older woman (who is usually younger than him but not that much younger) as assistant who is in love with him but he wants some young thing... and she turns against him at the end or he kills her. There's one where he kills her and tries to bring her back to life but she returns only as a zombie.

The guy always gets the girl at the end. They always go through some kind of problem during the movie but in the end, they always make up. Then the damn movie always goes to the future and shows their wedding, it's sicking. Just once I'd love to see the women(or man) have their heart broken, the person says no and will never forgive them and the other person will live the rest of their life miserable and alone. It may sound mean but hey it's a movie, I just want to see something different happen for once. We need more movie's like the War of the Roses where the women absolutely hates the man and never wants him again....ever.

Have you seen Adam? it is about a grown man living with aspergers. and his relationship with a woman and he dosnt get the girl. It is actually an amazing movie if you can get past the somewhat stereotypical aspergers portrayel.

One that I find funny (odd) is kissing in the rain, they use that in a lot of movies.
