1)The poison/killer drink that just touches the lips of a character before the phone rings, avoiding certain death
2)Helpless woman running upstairs to avoid mass murderer.
3)The mirror image of something terrifying.
Help me out!

A guy and a girl who hate each other or have some other significant differences in personality, but gradually fall in love anyway.
The "obligatory villain" in nearly every film, regardless of content or theme.
Turning around and having something RIGHT IN THEIR FACE that wasn't there two seconds ago.
Gunshots missing 99% of the time, and only causing injury or death when a plot device is needed.
All I can bother to think of. Here's a site that specializes in these kinds of cliché, also known as "tropes"
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Film
Browse around for awhile. It's interesting to read.

5. Count downs that are defused at one second.
6. Camio appearances of MeatLoaf
7. Arnold Schwarzenegger yelling "GET TO THE CHOPPER'"
-------------------- The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. ~H. L. Mencken~

Someone sits down at a table/bar, and orders a full entree, then gets up later without even picking up the fork and says: "I need to get going", leaving all the food still on the plate. I hate that so much, yet you see it again and again.

Along the countdown trope: When someone has to make a wire selection during a tense bomb defusing scene.
Just because this o one's good.. even if it is TV:
Man mysteriously loses memory after getting bashed on head. Man regains memory when coincidentally bashed on head again.

Car never starts when they need to get away in a hurry. Then it starts just in time (or sometimes not, and they DIE) Everytime there's a thunder and lightning storm, someone will die. Someone decides to investigate the dark basement/cave/wherever that strange noise was coming from.

Not to mention that any time there's a railroad track, the car stalls right on the track with a train coming along.

When the bullet is removed from the gunshot wound it is dropped into something that makes it go CLANGGG! really loudly.
Watch for that, it happens every time

When it cuts to a scene and whatever is going on is totally out of place. After you're confused you'll hear CUT! and then you realize they were filming a movie inside the movie.

A chase sequence in a foreign, usually middle eastern, country will inevitably result in a fruit cart being knocked over.
If a character starts coughing they're going to die of a terminal illness.
Air ducts, for action heroes to climb through, are always spotlessly clean - in reality they never are.
