Waking up from a nightmare will always cause the dreamer to suddenly sit boldly upright in bed.

How many times has that happened to you?

Also, a group of people hanging out in a popular bar/crowded house party, and actually being able to hear each other talk and not constantly bump into other people.

I'm always amazed that people in movies can have conversations while in a moving convertible, speedboat, or on a motorcycle.

That the main character is a "writer" and is able to afford to live in a huge loft/penthouse/nice brownstone is any major city.

That there is the new 'interesting' person who just randomly shows up to any small rural town and all of the locals love the lead character. The lead usually ends up hooking up with the attractive loner/ socially awkward person and falling in love.

The lead male character falls in love with his best friend/neighbor who he liked since he was little but never told her.

People always wants to split up in horror films.

That all films that are set in ancient times or civilizations, seem to have some form of a British accent.
