Land is the only thing worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. In the most delightful way.

Teenagers are the only ones who can be trusted to save the world, and adults are greedy, selfish, and all-round idiots. (Learned this from lots of anime.)

If a man learns about something that vitally affects his girl, but decides not to tell her because it would only distress or frighten her and he reckons he can deal with it himself, her not-knowing will inevitably cause her to walk obliviously into mortal peril from which she will need saving. But it's OK, because after she's saved from the danger he put her in she will certainly swoon gratefully into his arms, rather than smack him over the head for being such a stupid arrogant wazzock and tell him to get out of her life.

This trope is way older than the movies, but it has annoyed me since I was a very little girl. Look, if there's a flesh-eating monster in the lake or an axe-murderer in the woods, just TELL her already, OK? Don't just say 'Darling, I'd rather you stayed in the house on this lovely sunny day' without giving her the reason!

I was going to ask what movie had a Trex wearing high heels? ;D


But I'm still puzzled . . . in which movie did someone wearing high heels outrun a Trex? One of Jurassic Park movies? (I only saw the first one.)

Jurassic World, as I recall.

Intransigently hard-hearted/horrible/cruel bosses will become lovely/kind/generous people if exposed to the right kind of Christmas Spirit/family get-together/saving the small resort from developers.

Christmas movies [and recently The Proposal] taught me that; must be true, right? ;)

People won't hesitate, not even for a moment, to jump into a new relationship with someone that they just learned has a terminal illness.

Seriously, sooo many films with this same plot point.  Surely someone should be at least a little hesitant in the beginning?
