How bout Jurassic Park??? Jurassic Park was fine. I think it was one of the earliest movies to have started or popularized that whole trend. It just felt a little overplayed for me when used in a bunch of other movies and shows after JP. Fair enough.

- Introducing stupid conflicts in the story when it's obvious that the story is going nowhere. - People spilling/not finishing their food.

I get uncomfortable when watching characters having face to face conversations with others while driving, even worse when they turn their head around to talk to people in the backseat. There was a scene like that in Conviction. Hilary Swank is driving with her two kids in the car, who for some reason are both sitting in the back, and as she informs them about the impending divorce, she turns her head around a few times to look at each of them, when most people would use the rear view mirror to glance at the people in the backseat. I too dislike the wise-beyond-their-years children, because it's so implausible. In order to gain wisdom, you need to have experienced life. Children simply haven't. Therefore, can't be wise. That's why we're always lamenting, "If I knew then what I know now."

- In Action, or any genre flick and a lot in television, when 100 lb women are apparently singly able to physically take down a 220 lb male like they are brushing away a feather - exceptions are ok when there's some sort of supernatural explanation in the picture, a la "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or some Comic book characters
- Often done in Comic book adaptations, the now regular practice of changing a character's long established ethnicity(usually White)in, I guess, the name of "diversity" - rather, utilize existing POC characters or just create new characters if it's felt needed, is that so difficult? Although, especially in historical settings, this can then appear to stretch credibility - example, casting something set in Medieval England to appear more "diverse" to suit current day sentiment

-In any British drama show, the first thing that a character does when in company of others is to put the kettle on. I'm sorry, we may like our tea, but come on! So, Brits contribute to their own stereotype?

Character is lying about who they are. Develops real feelings and wants to come clean. Lie is exposed right before they can. That's, like, the entire plot of The Music Man. haha

- glorified mental disabled person played by people with mental norms ( What's Eating Gilbert Grape) Arnie wasn't glorified. A better example would be Forrest Gump. BTW: Are you saying you have a problem with 'normal' actors playing mentally disabled people? Should they only cast disabled persons to play disabled? Then, what's the point of acting?

Just saw this on an episode of Ray Donovan: Whenever someone gets an urgent phone call, while they're driving, they immediately make a screeching U-turn. Always.

- when a conflict could be easily resolved with words (i.e. Man thinks Woman did something she didn't do) but the character doesn't say anything, the other character leaves dramatically, etc. This is why I don't like Blood Simple all that much.

Unrealistic reactions or emotion to disturbing events, they're always the same
Also, unrealistic portrayals of adolescents and this also happens a shit ton
But I have more, just a couple that came to mind.

Lazy use of sound effects has recently become a real problem for me. There's a thread right now about specific lines taking you out of the movie but for me a lame use of a sound effect can be a real turn-off. Not a dealbreaker but a momentbreaker for sure.
For example, I recently watched "Richard III" with Ian McKellen which was quite a solid film except for the overuse of this sound effects during one scene set inside a train wagon:
Seriously, it was used like fifteen times within that same scene and did indeed take me out of it. So lazy.
Here's another one: I'm a huge fan of Nolan's approach to sound but I rewatched "The Prestige" today and was, let's say, weirded out by one scene using these really cliched cat sound effects:
Richard King is an astonishing sound editor but I guess he was having a day off that time?
