If it's crap... We'll tell you

What are the worst clichés in films and are there any that you like or don't mind in certain films?

One that has always bothered me is the 555 for the begining of phone numbers in films.
One that I love is in Westerns. In most westerns the protagonist cowboy(s) are the nicest guy(s) to regular people, especailly to women. I love seeing that in westerns.

Mostly in Horror movies, I hate it when the black character is either gets killed first or gets killed in the worst way.

Horror films.

I hate, hate, hate how they always have to get into dark rooms. I mean, c'mon, if it were me, I'd be standing by the light the whole time, but those people get into dark rooms and stay there 'till they get killed.

When people in horror flicks always have to check to see if the bad guy is dead.

I hate that more in monster movies. After they shoot the monster a million times, they go up and poke it with the barrel of the gun. Then it uses its last ounce of life to kill the person. Shoot it and leave for christ sake!

When the hero raises their sword/gun in the air as if to kill the bad guy, only to set it down right next to their arch nemesis because they won't "sink to their level."

Okay first of all, why the hell did you pick up the sword in the first place if you weren't going to use it, and secondly, why would you leave a deadly weapon right next to the guy that was trying to kill you a few seconds ago?

And they pretend they weren't trying to kill him before anyway. Often times you'll see the hero slash at the bad guy with a sword or something, but the villain blocks him. Okay, you do realize that if the bad guy didn't block you at that moment you would have killed him? Why did you randomly change your mind!?!? And why did you have no problem slaughtering his much less evil henchmen?

Enemies (preferbably henchman) stalling time to kill somebody.

Perhaps the worst cliché of all: making lists of movie clichés.
