Movie cliches

[christopher575]

Vehicles in perfect working order never start on the first try when the driver is running from someone.

Old people play chess in or alongside the park.

Single mom moves the family across the country and bullies are mean to the kids; dad moves the intact family across the country and monsters/demons/murderers are mean to the whole family.

Hospitals are very empty so people can be murdered in them, or very full if there's an emergency.

Nobody ordering beer or wine ever cares what brand or type it is.

Teachers never grade papers during their prep period, they stay up late doing it in bed.

teachers who do grade papers after class have something going on with a student or another teacher.

all parents who drink are physically abusive.

people with talent always succeed, because they were "destined" to.

emergency rooms, no matter how busy, always have an empty curtain area that is waiting for someone to roll a crash cart into.

No longer seen cliche:
Doctor riding a gurney saving a patient.

I always love the beer thing, and being a non-drinker most of my life I always figured all beer was pretty much the same.

It's even funnier with wine. In a lot of bars, nobody will bat an eye if you just say, "I'll have a beer." They often assume you just want the cheapest one on tap.

But I was watching Roxanne and Shelly Long asked her coworker to bring out "a bottle of wine". Now granted, she could drink the exact same bottle of wine every night, but it'd be just slightly more like real life if she said "merlot" or something.
