Wilhelm scream. It was cute in like 2007 when the internet called attention to it, and now it’s in everything and is no longer funny or interesting.

Shoehorned romantic stories.
Just give me my damn movie.
Top Gun for example.
the wilhelm scream. FUCK the wilhelm scream
I just think of it like a funny little easter egg tbh.
Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile

As someone who is a bartender, almost any scene in a bar in any show or movie. I swear it gives people bad habits about how bars actually work.
People just walking by someone "hiding" by pressing against a wall. May work occasionally in real life, but most of the time you catch someone out of your peripheral vision, and it triggers a reaction.
When the scene is incredibly quiet because they want to make one moment seem even louder than it actually is
People being tied up with ropes that are an inch in diameter. That's not how knots work!

Being in a volcano or near lava and not burning up.
handycam overuse. I don't care how good the writing, fx, or character development is, I'll stop watching if it's seemingly abused.
When they add the "pull hammer back on gun" sound effect and the character is holding a gun with no hammer (like a Glock). I first noticed this in one of the Fast and Furious movies, and I haven't been able to watch any of them since.
I hate when the protagonist start hearing/seeing things that aren't there or just in any other way retreats somewhere deep into their mind in a way that makes them forget the world around them.

I'm a submariner. Most depictions of submarines - especially with giant wall-to-wall windows, super dark interiors for no reason, diving to stupid depths, taking a full-on torpedo or depth charge without any consequence beyond shakey-cam, and putting stupid down-angles or up-angles when diving and surfacing.
