10 Movies That BRILLIANTLY Avoided Huge Cliches

"I did it 35 minutes ago" is the coldest line in all of comics.

11 Sean Bean survives Silent Hill. He dies in every movie, but not on the obvious one.

"The Last American Virgin" has the most statistically accurate ending out of all these movies haha

When the parents didn't get back together at the end of Ms. Doubtfire, that was extremely cathartic for me as a kid going through his parent's divorce. I was able to understand that these were two distinct people, not "my parents", they had individual needs that weren't getting met by the other, and that they shouldn't be together.

I liked in "The Nice Guys" with Gosling and Crowe that when a gun was fired it usually missed the target but someone in the background would get hit. Great warning about gun safety

"That K isn't the special one." I hate you for that pun while loving you for it at the same time

A friend of mine once fell off a chair and only slightly leaned against our glass table, and still it shattered... don't believe what Hollywood says folks😂

Missed The Fifth Element protagonist and antagonist never meeting.

Mrs. Doubtfire ending was perfect. I'm so glad they spoke up and changed the ending. It was still a happy ending but showed that happy endings come in many different types and not just what we may think they are.

Falling Down - that film basically took the "populist vigilante" trope and folded it into origami.

No mention of The Mist. The meanest, gnarliest twist in all of cinema.

I gotta push back hard on your description of easily-shattered glass tables as “unrealistic” there’s more than enough youtube videos out there of large rambunctious housepets and people horsing around instantly turning their heavy glass tabletops into a cloud of tiny razor-sharp glass fragments. It is definitely the resilience of that glass table in Game Night that’s completely unrealistic.

At least Wolverine walking away from an explosion makes sense.

Last American Virgin ending is so spot on and such a gut punch.

You missed one of the best ones which is Deadpool 2. they built up X force throughout the lead up to the movie, and then basically killed them all off for a joke. They trashed one of the biggest comic book tropes ever, and it was the best part of the movie.

Watchmen part is very good because Veidt waited till after he'd already won to explain his plan.

That coffee table one has to be a joke in the movie. I broke my mother's coffee table in a fight with my brother when we were in our early teens (thankfully no one was hurt), and it definitely didn't take much to shatter it. Then there's my neighbor, who's wife just leaned on their coffee table when picking up something from the floor, and she went right through it, slicing her back open like a hot knife through butter! She actually needed over a hundred stitches. So I wouldn't recommend trying anything too wild around one. Glass is very, very sharp when it breaks, and coffee tables don't shatter in to little crumbs like car windows do.

The ending of the movie The Mist. That was just brutal. I remember people posting customized video's with alternative endings on Youtube because they couldn't cope with the original.

Blue Ruin is such an underdog of a revenge film!! One of my stand out surprises - such a raw and real take on a lay person trying to take on power!

Just pointing out that David Morse is one of the best character actors out there and has been severely underrated his whole career despite it being long and fruitful. First time I remember seeing him was in Six Against the Rock because I wasn't really into St. Elsewhere at that point. He has elevated everything I've seen him in ever since.
