This is always fun.
GIve me examples of movie cliches, I'll start.
Prison Movies:
Sadistic Warden
Bullying head gaurd
Rape of newcomer
Passing things between cells in a sock
Old lag that can get anything you want
Old lag that keeps an animal of sorts
Brash new arrival that thinks he's the man

Mid tussle:
'Must kill bad guy. He is too strong. But still must get him next to window so I can push him out. Boy it was lucky we entered this skyscraper for no reason 10 minutes ago.'
or
'Must kill bad guy. He is too strong. But still must get him next to spiky object so he can be impaled. Boy it was lucky we climbed on to this church roof.'

"Hello new partner, I hate you"
"You're retiring soon, what do you care?"
"I'm too old for this"
"I'm a hot head young-gun"
"I hope I dont get kidnapped and you have to save me"
"Hey man, thanks for sorting out my life for me, I respect you now"
"I will no longer retire"

"Boy, being trapped in a massive house with a psycho sure does suck. I'm going to run upstairs and hide in a cupboard, and then when he is prone, I shall step over him and I sure hope he doesnt grab my leg or stand up behind me as I try to make a phone call"
War Movies:
Anyone that talks about not being able to wait to get back home to his little house and his new wife/girlfriend/child is dead.
Gruff "Sarge" that is only gruff because he cares about his boys.
Nobody ever needs to take a dump in the jungle.

Detective Movies:
"The DA's on my back, you've got 24 hours to solve the case!!!"
In EVERY movie!
I think that line even appeared in 48 Hours.

Cop Drama's
Hard nosed cop with more likeable youthful partner, occasionally female. Also add screaming police chief.
Hard nosed cop is called 'John Baretta', partner is 'Martinez', we'll never know his/her first name, police chief is 'Captain Farrelli'
Martinez is killed or seriously wounded by soon to be arch nemesis/nemeses of John Baretta.
Wife of Baretta can't handle the life of husband, it drives her crazy and leaves him.
Villain/villains are either English, German or South African and run major guns and drug cartels.
The ATF and DEA have nothing to do with these players, it's left to hard nosed cop.
John Baretta goes crazy-ape bonkers (after being suspended by Captain Farrelli for blowing up the Golden Gate bridge) with more hardware than a Nicaraguan Guerrillas group and kills evil dude with shot to head as he runs of with bearer bonds, while holding John Baretta's estranged wife hostage.
The DEA/ATF turn up, amazed at the massive haul they missed out on.
Baretta turns in badge to screaming Captain Farrelli, who isn't screaming.
John and estranged wife go and live on boat in New Hampshire and await sequel.

Car Chase Sequences:
Why does a truck always reverse out of nowhere during a car chase?
Why are the cardboard boxes that the car ploughs through always empty?
Why is it that when the hero's car hits another car, it carries on, but if a police car chasing it so much as scrapes a discarded Pepsi-can it flips into the air and barrel-rolls down the street?
Why do editors always insert the same sequence filmed from another camera into the same car chase sequence 4 minutes later and then try to get away with making out it's a different scene?
The obligatory 'plough into the sidewalk cafe scattering customers and tables everywhere' shot. Why?
Most car chases through city streets last about 20 seconds in real life, why do film car chase sequences miraculously manage to last 10 times this?
Why is it never raining during a Hollywood car chase sequence?
At the end of the car chase, why is the driver's seat always still clean?
