I have a few. If CGI can be considered a cliche, than that's one. Another would be the artificial quick zoom that's being used often in movies. It looks strange and digital. Also grittiness. I hate grittiness in movies. Something can be dark, but still be fun. Grittiness just ruins the mood.
Well, there is probably a million of them, but the most recent one that has irritated me is the shower scene.
I watched Tomb Raider last night, for the first time. I had been avoiding it for many years (with good reason as it turns out), and just before the shower scene, I said in my head "next is the shower scene" and sure enough there it was.
I really suspect that these shower scenes aren't ever in the scripts. Probably just horny directors who needed a transition and said, "hey, let's get so-and-so in the shower and film her."
In horror movies they build up, build up, spookie, eerie music plays, all is quiet and --SCREAM!!!-- an animal scurries past or leaps out or a friend puts a hand on the character's shoulder. Lame.
Vampires and zombies. They are so cliche' now that it has gotten very annoying. Next to cliche'd over violence in general, they would be the first two things to go!

I just saw Wall-E tonight and loved it, so much that I even wrote started a Hub for it. I plan on seeing Wanted tomorrow, I've heard some good talk about it. However I was really disappointed with Adam Sandler's Zohan and Mike Meyer's Love Guru. The commercials built them up so much,...
