Movies about war or fighting with a serious lack of blood.
I think there's something in the ratings where blood will mean a higher rating but if people are being killed isn't that more of a adult nature than seeing blood?
Not just movies, but TV shows as well.
Whenever someone is pregnant, no matter how far along they are, they rub their belly, i guess its showbiz shorthand for look shes pregnant.
Whenever they show something which is on a TV in a scene, they add some filter to the image that makes it look like to TV i have ever watched.
When in any Horror/Slasher/Serial killer movie, no matter how fast and and far you run, once you stop to catch your breath, the murderer is right there with you, without even a hair or breath out of place.
When a film treats the audience like children and have the characters half explaining the plot, in assumption that the viewers are too stupid to understand what's going on without it.

It's called 'exposition' and if done right can be intriguing and clever as opposed to patronising. 'Inception', for instance, is entirely an exposition piece.
DVDS !...When you put the disc in it takes AGES to get to the start of the film....don't want trailers disclaimers legal stuff and the annoying bit where you search to find the play button ...aghhhhhhhhh and often you cant fast forward like old videos !

Especially the bit telling you video piracy is wrong. "I know it is - that's why I bought this ******* DVD now let me watch it!!!!"

Ever made the mistake of not stopping some 20th Century Fox films before the end of the credits? You get treated to about half an hour of unskippable copyright notices in every language, alive or dead, on the entire planet.
"Well I did have every intention of running off a few thousand copies of this disc and selling them on. However, I started having second thoughts when the Hungarian warning came on and by the time they got to Amharic my plans to be a pirate DVD kingpin lay in tatters at my feet."
When CPR is administered in movies and the medics bend their elbows, or only give about 5 compressions between rescue breaths, or do it in slow motion. Then, miraculously, the clinically dead person wakes up with a few coughs and continues about their daily business as they they haven't been DEAD for the last 10 minutes.
As seen in 24, a man in cardiac arrest is given a shot of adrenaline which magically, and all by itself, brings the man back to life.
When someone "flatlines".
When monitoring equipment in hospital has no correlation to the clinical picture of the patient.
Along the lines of previous ones, but companies that stick adverts promoting blu-ray on DVD only releases. I KNOW BLU-RAY IS BETTER, I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT, HAD YOU ACTUALLY RELEASED IT... >:(
When having a conversation on the phone the main character never says 'bye' they just hang up most of the time,quite rude really.
Also when a female is waking up from her sleep she still seems to have make up on and her hair is quite neat. I would never go to bed with (eye) make up on its not good for the complexion. Haven't they heard of make up wipes?

Yes, i've heard that CPR in real life is a seriously traumatic experience. Doesn't it involved breaking the rib cage? Also i've heard that the new rules are to not do mouth to mouth as it's pointless.

Only if it goes wrong, I believe training tries to prevent the breaking of the rib cage, but obviously that doesn't always work...
I watched Blade Runner (2007) the other night and had to turn the amp down because the floor was shaking.
It was unwatchable with the normal sound settings so had to make a comprimise. If a film makes you do that then in my mind it's a problem at their end not mine.

The habit of framing a female character's bottom when she walks. Quite common in superhero films.
It doesn't annoy me: I'm all for it.:)

Not film but similarly in a Kelly Rowland music video she uses a spreadsheet for texting.
Yes! They always go upstairs annoys me too!

The IT Crowds anti-piracy bit was brilliant though
"You wouldn't steal a car...... you wouldn't steal a handbag......"
How do you know what I would and wouldn't do? It's the middle of the day and i'm sat here in my pants about to watch torture porn!
