The fact that people can run faster than explosions
It's stupid, yet all films do it.
"Look an explosion thats going to engulf this whole tunnel, lets turn around and run 100 meters in slo-mo with the fire just behind us"
Seriously.. by the time you've realised, you'd be dead.

The thing that I hate the most is associated with time travel and is called an ontological paradox [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_paradox], or causal loop. It happens when someone or something travels back in time and does something that causes some circumstance that was already present in that person's future, the very future they come from, or even their own existence. The most blatant examples that I know of are in the Terminator franchise. As such, I hate that franchise and almost any non-comedic time travel story. I say non-comedic because I have a rule that I will allow almost anything if it is funny enough. For example, I like the Bill and Ted movies and Back to the Future series, so they are exempt from this rule.
Cliched characters in horror movies are annoying.Basically if a character falls into one of the following categories then their not gonna survive - Stoner,jock,cheerleader,promiscuous teen,bitchy/asshole teen.Just come up with some new characters already
The whole one guy and one girl surviving thing its all too convenient. And of course they're always in love with each other.
The only one I can thing of right now (that hasn't been mentioned already), is in stuff like Avatar or say, the Alien movies, how if there are at least two races (usually human and something else) the humans are always either heroic or seriously dickish, and the other race are either bloodthirsty barbarians or innocents. There's just no middle ground there.
What I would like to see is both sides being capabale of good and evil, and maybe having a group from both sides caught up in the middle.

"There is a locked door up ahead, i can open it but it will take a while, cover me 'till i finish" NO! I HAVE A SHOTGUN/CROWBAR! I CAN EASILY USE THAT!
I hate any time a show introduces a snoody-ass rival for the main character who is so Godly and perfect and majestic that it makes the protagonist look like shit, followed up several episodes of run-of-the-mill angst only to surpass said-rival in everything or at least become as equally skilled within the next four or five episodes, with each and every minute involving you wishing you could punch the new character along with the crack team behind the idea of adding him/her into the show in the face until your now blood-stained knuckles break, leaving you crippled for life.
And that's why I refuse to watch the second half of Kaleido Star.

I hate when something just made a very bad noise, and the chracter knows something is\n't right but decides to go investigating by themselves unarmed
