Bad actors who are only in movies because of famous parents.
E.g Jaden Smith

It's not enough to be useless baggage, but to also be danger magnets makes me wonder why they're kept around as characters[/QUOTE]

When someone is running toward the camera and stops because they see something unexpected ahead of them, camera turns and what they see is 5 feet in front of them and very obvious yet somehow they were oblivious.

I hate when the plot of a movie revolves around a misunderstanding. It just makes me feel embarrassed for the characters.
When the fucking couple sits down and orders dinner, the guy get himself a big fat juicy steak, and then HE FUCKING ORDERS A SALAD FOR THE LADY. BECAUSE GOD FORBID THE FUCKING LADY IS ALLOWED TO ENJOY A FUCKING MEAT DISH AS WELL.

And THE FUCKING LADY ISN'T ALLOWED TO ORDER ON HER OWN

When the fucking protagonist/character waits to kill the other guy and because he waited he got shot back or killed.
When the fucking main guy has a loaded gun but decides to get into a fist/knife fight because its more honourable
Well if a movie has like, the protagonist cornered and the antagonist coming with a gun, and the baddie goes "Nah, let's settle this the old fashioned way", I guess that's kinda cool, since it makes you feel like the antagonist has the upper hand in the fight.
Just syaing "NOH I MUST FIST YOU" is kinda a copout

I wish there was a cg movie without a "sad misunderstanding" part.I honestly can't think of one
characters in general using a computer almost never use the mouse. All keyboard.
On computers: Whenever the cursor is always moving in a perfectly straight line, and very slowly.
[editline]29th October 2015[/editline]
Like, that's not even a thing that only nerds are going to notice. Computers are used by [I]everyone[/I] now. Everyone should be able to notice how unnatural that is, yet I still see it all the time.
In a time sensitive/chase scene where there's an overhead shot of the pursuer getting very very very close to the target and then the next shot is a rear view from the target and they're a solid ten yards away.
It's a little thing, but it's pretty obvious in the Back to the Future Trilogy, especially at the end of the first one with the whole lightning-wire-car combo, or when Biff/Griff chase Marty on the hoverboard

Well to be fair, if you know the proper shortcuts, exclusive keyboard use can be very fast and efficient.
I mean, with the movie thing, that's too smart of them, it has to be an oversight, but just saying.

I hate those really advanced computer programs, that are hologram-projected into the air, but they are in a movie set in the current time.

Also somewhat related but when people play any sort of video game in a movie or tv show and they jerk around like they're trying to get an angry badger off their back without using their hands.
As far as I know there was no Pantene Pro V conditioner in the middle ages, yet for some reason every female character, even peasants, need to have long flowing locks of silky hair.
I wish there was just one Medieval or Renaissance period film that wasn't shit on by artistic license.
Oh, I also really hate pseudo-omnipotent protagonists.
cars failing to start in a chase scene, thats just a big middle finger to the viewers :nope:
Conventions of Anime. I was never really one for Anime, I watched Pokémon as a kid and that was it. I figured all the jazzy effects and lightning bolts in that were because it was a show for kids and big flashy lights and the character having a spastic fit was funny to look at while also conveying that Ash was shouting and angry. The little cross that appeared on their head felt like a knowing wink to the audience, because you knew that the little slit-eyes were about to become huge and Brock was about to get mad. It was kids stuff.
So now, when I'm told "Hey, you should totally give Death Note/Attack on Titan/Who gives a shit a try, it's actually really good!" And you have a super genius looking like Brock in a different outfit and a Scout General or something looking like Misty who just lost her bike, it really throws me out of it.
Also, regular Japanese people sound fine, they sound like they're speaking a language that I don't understand. So why does every Voice Actor in an Anime knock their voice up a few Octaves and mumble?
EDIT: Oh, and how young every protagonist is. Why are we meant to relate to a kid whose balls haven't dropped yet? It's a 'mature' plotline, people die in it and they're always needlessly graphic, so why put a kid in the middle of it? Is it cool? I watched a kid who's meant to be Ten shouting about Herd Mentality and how people are living in fear and they shouldn't be, because they should fight back. From a 10 year old kid in Not-Germany, seriously?

The amount of detail in it is also amazing.
Might seem odd, but unrealistic deaths and blood are really one of my pet peeves in movies.

Character gets spine severed, is still able to stumble around dramatically. Blood is also pouring out of his back, enough to fill a kiddie pool. Dramatic!
When two characters find each other and decide to go get coffee or dinner to discuss something, and the scene cuts to them eating dinner and they're just starting to talk about it, as if they weren't saying anything on the walk/drive over. It's little but it always throws me off
[QUOTE=Boaraes;48933925]"It Ain't Me" by CCR playing whenever there's a scene during the Vietnam War[/QUOTE]
The soundtrack to Vietnam War movies in general.
They always play the standard shit (Fortunate Son, All Along the Watchtower, etc) But they never play the more underground stuff, even by the artists in the soundtrack (Jimi Hendrix's Machine Gun?, underground stuff like the Velvet Underground, Stooges, MC5, etc?)
Time Travel bullshit.
Terminator is a mess of a series because of it and it's a little bit distracting now.

Most of it could have been avoided if they just made a film set in the future war, but less brownish than Salvation and more purple, blues and blacks of the T/T2 future.

Terrible service, why would one shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
I have a really obscure movie/TV pet peeve. It's a little hard to explain too.
It bugs me, and I always notice, when characters mis-pronounce a word based on the way it's [b]spelled[/b], when they've never seen the word written down, only heard it spoken.
Like in Gran Torino when that girl is telling Clint Eastwood's character about Hmong people, and presumably he's just heard this word for the first time, but he still pronounces it "huh-mong" even though he has no idea there's a silent H on the front.
I noticed it a lot re-watching Arrested Development too. In the first season a few characters hear the word "hermano," and despite not actually seeing it written down, they still "know" to mis-pronounce it with the H at the beginning.
