40 things that only happen in movies

there are also many listed at www.moviecliches.com.

I wanted to add one to that site, but the site managers never replied: Why is it that when a movie character drives across the country, they never take the most direct interstates, but instead they take the most remote, unpopulated 2-lane route, which invariably takes them through the desert southwest, amid the huge sandstone rock formations?

I can relate to #8

"Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other."

That's the thing I liked about U-571. The Germans actually spoke German.

Mine are the following:

- Whenever someone is being chased they ALWAYS run up stairs. Hasn't anyone ever figured out you can run up for just so long before you run out of stairs??

- If someone is riding (obviously) a 2-stroke dirt bike, it will ALWAYS sound like a 4-stroke engine. And more times than not, it's a Harley V-twin sound.

- If a car "peels out" while on a dirt road, the tires will ALWAYS squeal.

- When on the first floor of a creepy house and you hear strange eeery sounds, the first thing you must do is to go upstairs and find out what is making the noise. Guess run-like-hell out the front door is not an option.
