Lucas Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) The mighty whitey saves the day http://media.salon.com/2013/02/last_samurai_embed.jpghttp://media.salon.com/2013/02/dances_with_wolves_embed.jpghttp://media.salon.com/2013/02/the_help_embed.jpg But I love that film! EDIT: I didn't see the first two pix. I enjoy The Last Samurai (Cruise was badly miscast as always) but I LOVE The Help. Fear not Segue, there are countless examples of movies and music I love that are riddled with clichés !!!

Examples include: The Family Man, What Dreams May Come, The Legend Of Bagger Vance and The Green Mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get your point. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Girl Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 In almost every movie with "heroes" and explosions...the hero will get caught up in an explosion as in be close enough to it to be knocked away from it, roll over, wince, get up and walk away. No harm done. Oh, also, getting shot in the arm. Piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 "I have GOT to get me one of THESE!" - Will Smith in 50% of his movies! 100% cheesedick! ;) I liked how Gary Oldman said that after seeing the Batmobile in Batman Begins. I think Christopher Nolan was having a bit of fun with that cliche. Yeah, I thought a similar thing when i saw that the first time, especially when said from a respected actor as Oldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) The hero is tall, dark and handsome. The villain is a blond man.Children see ghosts and demons that no one else sees. Teens in horror movies making out at the cemetery.Something bad always happens in the shower or the basement. There is always a scene of some kind at the high school prom.The guy ends up with the wallflower and ditches the pretty girl who screwed him over.
