Speeding cars that jump, and fly high through the air with the greatest of ease... and then land hard without even scratching up the car, and then they continue to drive on as if the car was showroom new...
Most people get "flat tires" when they hit a large pot hole just driving the speed limit.

Never ever stuck in traffic... unless a catastrophic event, in which case all roads are completely filled with cars.

When a person is about to have something heavy fall on them (a tree, a wall, etc) or be hit by a car, they just throw their arms up and scream instead of using those precious seconds to jump out of the way.
(Mostly a 60s, 70s, 80s movie thing.)

I've seen movies, where people were stuck in traffic, during rush hour... And I've been stuck in traffic before, during rush hour! As for "catastrophic" events... I seem to recall seeing a few news stories that featured "roads completely filled with cars" while people were evacuating states before a hurricane hit... So what doesn't happen in real life? |

I barely ever see ppl stuck in traffic in a movie. When I do, it's because of an alien invasion or Godzilla. |

Something traumatic happens to a child and the child grows up without any sort of counselling. Then we get lifetime movie after lifetime movie.
Cars automatically starting when they ought to.
Cars NOT starting at the most inopportune time (sttng holodeck EPS!!)
Hot wife buffoon husband.
Hot wife outrunning anything or anyone in stiletto whore shoes.

After showing several harrowing minutes of anguished labor and delivery, babies are born all clean and neat and looking several weeks old and delivered to mom who has perhaps a slight sheen of perspiration on her brow and maybe a curl out of place on her coifed hairdo. That and people waking up from 8 hours with un-smeared make up on and not a hair out of place.
Don't remember the episode and can't find a picture, and this is TV not movies, but on that point, major kudos for that episode of Law & Order SVU when Olivia fell asleep in the crib and woke up with her hair plastered to one side of her head like a porcupine, I've had my share of those mornings.

Driving a car, paying about 20% attention to the road. That's even a f'n thing in actual car commercials. Yeah - the driver looks at a passenger for long stretches of time as if the car is stopped. I’m thinking, “Watch the damn road!!”  |

Tranquilizer darts that work on contact (Goldfinger, Commando). At least Old School got it somewhat right.

People can be put to sleep instantly by being hit on the back of the head with something hard and it never causes the person to bleed or need medical help afterward.
Just “TAP!!” and the person is out like a light so that the other person can do what they want to do.
The tapped person falls neatly to the floor and then wakes up without even a headache.

A failing (or even failed) relationship being revived or renewed due to an apocalyptic event (as seen in Independence Day, Twister, 2012, San Andreas etc).

Extremely fuzzy images can be turned into exceptionally sharp images (even with detailed writing) if you give the command “enhance”.

The cop/detective/special forces protagonist, that goes rogue and causes havoc everywhere but is never reprimanded or charged with anything.

When somebody is talking on the phone and the person they're talking to hangs up, the one still holding the phone says "Hello? Hello? Hello? Are you still there?" even though there's clearly a dial tone. I'm fairly sure that in real life when somebody hears the dial tone they would know that other person is no longer on the line. Maybe my land line works differently from movie phones BUT I have to hang up or click the button before the dial tone is heard after a conversation ie "clearing the line. |

Folks sit down at the computer, tap a word or two, and instantly find just what they are looking for (and always in great detail.)

In movies, people don't usually say goodbye at the end of phone conversations.

Unless it's crucial to the plot, no one who is beaten up feels sore or bruised afterwards.
Indiana Jones felt some pain and tiredness in Ark but that was to make for a funny romantic scene.
