40 things that only happen in movies

[Bre]

I have one to add: All bad boys have really sweet hearts deep down.

[Loz]

This list cracks me up

[Amber]

LOL! Neat list beck! Especially how they said the last one! Lozza, your list cracked me up as well!

[aperson]

It just bugged me that the title of the page was "20 things that only happen in movies".

[Bre]

lol oh yeah.. I didn't even notice.

[Beck]

Heh it irritated me too

[Amber]

Yes, I saw that...but didn't bother posting it on here...

That was hilarious!

13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.

15. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which will be placed in open brown paper bags (Caveat: when said bags break, only fruit will spill out).

17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.

23. If being chased through a city you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.

#28--A disconnected call can always be restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying "Hello? Hello?" repeatedly.

30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

37. Most musical instruments (especially wind instruments and accordions) can be played without moving your fingers.
(This one really cracked me up, being a music teacher and all.)

Those are the ones that really made me laugh.


And #18 always seems to happen to me in real life.

[Lexie]

That's hilarious! And so true, too.

I just now saw Loz's list. The following have always bothered me:

Any kind of music in a club, at a dance, etc, always has a backbeat but no words.
When two or more people are having a phone conversation, it is never terminated with a "goodbye", they always just hang up after getting to the point.
Teenage girls only own pretty, lacy, undergarments, and they always have matching sets of bras and panites.
Villans will always explain their plan, in its entirety, to the hero before leaving him in an easily escapable situation with an incredibly incompetentguard, or no guard at all.
In movies and television, Crime Scene Investigators don't just do the forensics, they question suspects and solve entire crimes FOR the DA.

This time I just find funny:

Men don't seem to show signs of pain when receiving brutal beatings, but do when women try to clean the wounds.

And this one isn't just a movie cliche:

When a guy screws up in a relationship, he'll call his girl a million times, and she will listen to all his messages, but never pick up the phone.

Well they obviously haven't seen CSI: *touchy* hahaha I can admit they don't do it accurately (it's primetime TV for pete's sake!) but you can't say they don't do it at all.....

22. No matter how savagely a spaceship is attacked, its internal gravity system is never damaged.

It's true...they'll be bits flying off the spaceship before the artificial gravity fails. But then again, it makes sense- since the processor for the Artificial Gravity is probably not on the Bridge/ Head of the ship (which is usually what is attacked).

[Alissa]

LOL those are so funny!
And you know that they're all totally right.

[Laura]

those were good. I especially liked 6 and 21 from Beck's list

[Beck]

lol I cant believe this thread is still active, it was started Oct 05

Theyre all still amusing though

[Alissa]

That is a long time for this to survive.
It's just one of those things you think about, you know? Every time I watch a movie, either I or someone with me says "that could only happen in a movie".

[Kate]

Seriously could any of us really say that those things have happened in RL? Nu-uh. Gotta love it though

[Ange]

AW it doesn't work anymore. I'll add one anyways.

It doesn't matter if you have never driven a car, flew a plane or looked a a motored vehicle. As soon as you need to escape a natural disaster you will be able to fly/drive through and faster than anything.

Also, the bad guys are always lousy shots. Admittedly, that's changed and improved a bit over the years, but I think it still holds true. My dad and I laugh at it every time.
