The list seriously needs some editing, as it is rife with typos and isn't organized in any recognizable way across 8 pages of random entries. But still, it's a good list. Here's a few more cliches for Hollywood films:

* In the movies, telephones always ring with the bell sound of an old rotary dial phone. On top of that, only phones with bulky handsets and cellphones exist in films, there are no cordless phones.
* Any time the screen shows an area of desolation/devoid of human life, the cry of an eagle is heard.
* In films, cars will provide effective cover against gunfire. Even car doors are bulletproof.
* Spacecraft must always explode when shot/damaged beyond repair.
* If the hero of an action film has a friend or a partner who does not have equal screen time with the hero (ie, not a sidekick), that person will die at some point. The hero will usually witness the death, and scream "Nooooooooooooo!" in an agonized super slo-mo shot.
* Every door that opens slowly creaks. Not only that, but it usually creaks with the same sound effect, too (the sound effect is from the "Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall" computer game).
* Cartoon cliches: any time a piece of food is eaten whole, the identical "chomp" noise is heard. Any time a flying evil creature appears, the dragon sound effect from Warcraft 2 is heard. Any time a laser or energy weapon is fired in a cartoon, the sound of a TIE fighter cannon is heard.
* Almost all comedies end with a wedding, real or implied (this is actually a tradition from ancient Greek theater that persists to this day).
* The protagonist of a comedy will often act like a complete jerk, but he will still always get the girl in the end, as she invariably finds his infantile behavior charming.
* A good teacher is always able to inspire at least one student to achieve astonishing greatness, if not the entire class.
* Female therapists are unable to resist falling in love with their male patients.
* Private detectives always find the local police uncooperative.
* A US TV cliche: police and medical protagonists never experience any negative repercussions for violating personal privacy rights (breaking an entering, entrapment, intimidation) - it's all good as long as the case is solved.
