People Share 50 Plot Clichés They Just Can’t Get Enough Of, No Matter How Painfully Often They’re Used

Especially in historical movies

*Pulls out truncheon from somewhere......

Leon the Professional was a brilliant movie (going off the poster for this post).

The Ocean's series

Hello Zuko here

Everything is FINE!!! "Everything was in fact, not fine."

This trope feels really familiar, but I can't think of any movie/TV show it's in. Help please :/

That moment in Endgame when Sam comes in and like 'On your left'. I mean damn I screamed so hard. I don't care whoever says Superhero movies are stupid. I'm a Marvel stan through and through

There's a great spoof of this by Wallace and Gromit, I think it's in The Wrong Trousers.

Did you mean: everything in Gravity Falls. XD

This always makes me cry though

Fun fact: Stan Lee didn't envision Magneto as a villain, more like an anti-hero.

Love and Monsters is pretty much an entire movie based on that premise. Great movie. Highly recommend.

Haha...I'm gonna use this if it ever happens.

Edward Norton in Primal Fear, amazing!

"No Way Out"

I want a conspiracy wall in one of my rooms at home. Just need a suitably daft conspiracy.

... me...

"You sonofabitch, I'm in!"

Oog. This is why some men will not take "no" for an answer.

My Cousin Vinny, when Marisa Tomei knows more about cars than the "expert". Awesome

Hobbit? Gollum maybe

Anybody wanna peanut?

Samurai Mom in The Mitchells vs. The Machines.

If it's an american movie, AND it's not john wick 1, you know the dog survives.

oh that's me every day.

I grew up on this it's absolutely the BEST $%&^ to me!!

End of John Wick when they...wait...I don't want to do spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Plot twist twist-- Hannah and Bob are the same person.

Gollum

And then they jump across to another building in slow motion and without injuring themselves or falling.

oh you mean those archaeology movies where a box or disc or something is actually a key

Zuko in Avatar

so any "the rock" movie?

Pulp Fiction

Are we the baddies?

Bucky!

Avengers?

this one is so obvious that when my kids see an action movie and there's a handsome guy/girl that appear in the movie at some stage they are like "oh yawn those two are going to get together" and these are small kids.

clicketyclicketyclicketyclickety "I'M IN!! Now let's reroute the ENCRYPTIONS... and... You're clear guys, GO!"

I´d add Happy Death Day (not the sequel though).

I would also like to add "The Equalizer"

The harry potter prophecy twist: he has to "die" to kill voldemort.

Billy Elliot! One of the greatest closing shots of all time.

Yes, and no one ever coughs just like that, either. In movies it means the person will be very ill (and/or dead) very soon.

Alt:a fight scene with odd not quite there music i.e. a massive fight with kids singing happy birthday or swan lake music

Ooooohhh, The Long Kiss Goodnight is a GOOD movie!

Hated it I Am Legend, that is more because I hated the film. The book has a VERY good ending, and Hollywood is too cowardly to use it.

“You’re terrible Muriel”. Love that film.

I want a more realistic one, when the character is dying in the arms of their beloved, and they lose control of bodily functions and the bowels let loose.

You'd think the robot would fall in love with Siri or Eddie the Toaster, not the nasty biological lump of flesh hero.

Accusatorium! Love it!

Leverage.

These ones are subtle, I like them too.

Kronk!!!!!!

This thread needs more Morgan Freeman.

GOD yes. And I love when people do that to me IRL too like. It's so good.

The Replacements

Momento.

Yer a wizard harry.

Hate this trope so much! A successful independent woman gives up on her aspirations for some good for nothing annoying man who she doesn't even seem to like.

Top 10 anime betrayals

Pirates of the Caribbean

The Rookie

Yeah. That's one that hits hard.

"Here's the deal, Columbus. I'm not easy to get along with, and I'm sensing you're a bit of a b***h...you're a peppy little spit-f**k, aren't you?" Love it too! Tallahassee was pretty crusty. Still a classic.
