Anya Amasova was not a traitor. Did the creator of that meme actually watch The Spy Who Loved me.

The anxious wait when the fake ID is being examined at any security check, always seems to be an issue and then bang all cleared.

The movie Argo is that trope in movie form.

Leaving the car with the windows still down


Mr Mercedes and Justified are both guilty of this - change the glass if you want to see the actors . To walk away from a car or return to it with the windows down is peak stupid

As always, I can't help it if it makes me seem like a jerk (or worse) - Nazis!

Two days ago I saw the trailer for a film, and for ten seconds all I could see was that it was some kind of period one set in Europe. Maybe I'm awful, but I wondered, "Where are the Nazis?"

A few seconds later, there they were. No matter what a subject is (even that one), it shouldn't be that easy to see it coming in a story.

Dystopian societies are almost always either filmed in the dark or in darkish colors

The B-Rate Sitcom Premise. Someone is overly indulging in relaxation or having the house to self. Its often a mess, music is loud, beer bottles are out. Its ok wife/gf/other half not back for a week. Plot line of hilarity states that he has it wrong/convention cancelled/holiday cut short/rail strikes - cue merriment and farce as he tries to avoid being caught out... including hurried clean up with ridiculous scenes of plates of half-eaten spaghetti bolognese hidden behind sofa cushions, unfeasibly large amounts of cigarette ash shoveled under rugs, hundreds of empty bottles thrown precariously in the sideboard, etc.

The character that develops a pronounced tic every time someone like Frank Spencer/Maxwell Smart/Marmalade Atkins enters the room. Bonus points if it's an ulcer and they have to drink milk for it.

Every lothario who's being "kept" by an older woman is also sleeping with her daughter.

Insanely rich couples always have dinner at opposite ends of a football-field length table.

Zombies don't typically eat people...they take one bite and move on to the next available "meal" as if they'd just tasted Baby Bear's porridge.

Yes!

And generally speaking food gets served in movies but never eaten

A snobbish mother-in-law character who talks almost entirely in acidic putdowns will be endlessly indulged by her downtrodden relatives, rather than ignored or told to heck off.

Presume that was Oppenheimer? About the development of the atomic bomb, which the Nazis were actually trying to do. Probably fair to include it in that film, tbh.

As a kid in the eighties, I noticed that American sitcoms would have seemingly deep seated obsessions that would only last one episode.

I remember one episode - of what, I can't remember - where the sitcom family are staying in Vegas and the two teenage daughters, it turns out, are huge Tom Jones fans who are in a frenzy at the idea of running into him and in fact, go out of their way to try to make that happen. And in all the other episodes, the Welsh warbler is never once mentioned.
