We also have the newer cliche, since Blair Witch Project in the 90s, with the overly shaky camera. Enought to make me nauseous. |

I've also seen a lot of the fast, intentionally sloppy zooming in and focusing on certain characters. I'm not sure how to describe it, but "The Office" uses the "technique" a lot. I guess it's supposed to make it appear sort of raw and somewhat documentary-like. |

I was thinking about cliches that have become commonplace since the 1990s. Some of the others mentioned here (car doesn't start or keys left in the ignition) have been around for decades. A lot of CGI effects have become cliche. Let's bring back some "old school" FX!  |

That stupid Matrix effect bugs me. It was neat when it came out but was overused within a year. I'm referring to the slow motion dodging of bullets, etc. I also hate when 30 year olds play high school students. And what is up with so many movies depicting vomiting?

When people rob banks and fill duffel bags with money, the bags are never heavy. I'm sure if you loaded up your suitcase with a dozen reams of printer paper, you wouldn't be throwing it around like it was filled with balloons.

It seems that every movie fight must now include a head-butt.

Wet pavement and sidewalks everywhere, even when it's sunny out.

The wet pavement is always there for any night scene too. I guess the directors like the look of lights reflecting on wet streets and sidewalks, and they don't care that the movie takes place in a city where it rarely rains.

Villains always look super cooler and had better costume designs than the protagonist of the film.

I hate in movies when characters instantly go down when only shot or stabbed once or cars that blow up when shot in the gas tanks.
