People never take off their shoes or boots at the door even though they've come in from the rain or snow and/or tramped across muddy fields.
There's always dodgy dudes sitting on the steps of those NYC apartment blocks.
An empty taxi always appear as soon as the hero/heroine hails one.
Camera ground shots of car wheels going through a puddle are mandatory.
Nobody smokes the last half of a cigarette (unless they are a tramp or bum).
All commanding officers are clueless buffoons unless the part is played by John Wayne.

Germans and Imperial Stormtroopers couldn't hit a barn door from 3 paces.
Alien invasions always happen in the USA.
British naval vessel captains always have a toff/southerner accent. So do the mancunians liverpudlians and welshmen in the engine room! (The Cruel Sea springs to mind).

A car crash anywhere near the proximity of a cliff will always result in the car skidding to a halt over the edge of the precipice. A battle of balance will then ensue, with a person moving three inches to the left enough to topple a five tonne vehicle one-way or another.

A fugitive will be in a bar when the barmaid will turn the TV channel onto a news flash with a description of the fugitive.

On the American theme, in movieland a main street of a small town will usually contain lots of small family owned stores like it was the 1960s and everyone is walking around talking to each other. The reality is most american small towns you get one long street where everyone drives to with a McDonalds, a Staples centre, a Walmart, Subway a JC Penney if youre lucky and thats it. And nobody walks anywhere.
If a cornfield appears in a movie it will always be used in a chase scene, and the hero will hide in it.
