These are always fun. - The drunk prick at every roadside bar has to hit on a protagonist's woman. - Every time a scene takes place at a desert, a distant hawk or eagle always has to screech. - Anytime a character is seen carrying groceries, it's always in a paper bag and a roll of bread is sticking out. - The ubiquitous angry cat in every dumpster or alley. - Every villain who is holding a hostage towards the end of a movie either A) Gets his hand bitten and then killed or, 2) The marksman protagonist shoots him anyway, most often right between the eyes. List some.

Anyone who works with dead bodies is always eating on the job. Very true and quite funny. Maybe it's an easy way to have comic relief, like holy crap that guy doesn't care.

The prostitute with a heart of gold. I'm a sucker for those. 'Milk Money' with Ed Harris and Melanie Griffith is also pretty good, rating very high in the cheese factor.

- Anyone being chased can blend themselves into a parade and lose whoever is chasing them
- Dogs barking at unwanted people

- Tires screeching when a car takes off from a soft surface like sand, dirt, or gravel.

Characters in horror movies always split up to investigate. Stay together!

The villain will always talk too much at the end until the good guys get the upper hand.

The villain will always talk too much at the end until the good guys get the upper hand. While he's yapping away the good guy will: 1. Look around and find a weapon 2. Luckily have a buddy who everyone thought was dead jump out and hurt / distract the villain ...or both.

The obviously empty cup and the actor pretending it's full. They do that on Seinfeld alot. One of the most obvious is Frank Constanza drinking the "coffee" Lloyd Braun just brought him.

"Sex and the City" was notorious for that cliche. Made me cringe every time.

I've always been intrigued by television history, so this reminds me of the famous incident when Jack Paar announces on the air that he's leaving the Tonight Show. He starts to get emotional, then holds up his finger (or his hand....I forget) and takes the paper cup off his desk to get a quick sip. You can tell that the cup is empty even before he raises it which was probably just a nervous reaction, but it's a little disturbing.

The obviously empty cup and the actor pretending it's full. Also, the moving box and suitcases. No wonder Michael Richards wanted to work with a real bag of cement and air conditioner, although he hurt himself with the latter.

A womanizer who leads a fairly hedonistic sexual lifestyle, suddenly meets the girl of his dreams and falls in love with her. He suddenly realizes just how empty his life had been up to that point, and goes about trying to win her heart so he can spend the rest of his life with her. I've seen this scenario play out in at least 3 movies that I can think of, off the top of my head.
The Family Man About a Boy 50 First Dates.

A woman who belongs to an ethnic family in America falls in love with an American (usually white). She must learn to accept the traditions and demands of her family, and prove to them that he will be a welcome addition to the clan (and love wins in the end). E.g. The Joy Luck Club My Big Fat Greek Wedding Fools Rush In

Just a comment in general:
Even if it's January 22nd, it's "The feel good movie of the year!"

IsoscelesKramer, I haven't seen that, but add Jungle Fever to that category. I forgot if they ended up together though.
