I thought the villain monologue would be the first. yes, you want me to believe that masterminds, in a perfect moment to kill someone, would just stop and boast about their intelligence and their full plot? Yeah right: D.
My other picks:
-ugly unpopular girl/boy fancied by at least 2 guys by the end of the story just for their beautiful souls. In connection to this: beautiful girls seen as UGLY just because they have their hair pulled back and have glasses? Sure, they are not going to be seen as BEAU-TAY-FUHLLLLL, but not ugly, just boring or not stylish. And of course, everyone drooling over them just after their hair is down, they get on a mini dress and have makeup on.
-people in a creepy setting deciding to go do stuff alone and part ways. I mean, if I was at a scary place, I would want to have someone beside me for us to have more chance to survive or just to calm me down a bit
- YA contemporary setting movies where you do not see the parents ever without actual explanation (like they are on a trip abroad or work too much)

I'd debate number 5, in that, for the most part, this trope turns up in more comedy movies than anywhere else. it emulates the cartoon world idea that a character can take as many hits as you can fit into your screen time and keep going regardless. Watching any Warner Brothers cartoon will give you the idea of this trope's origin.
The two things that happen in movies that drive me insane are:
1) Thunder and lightning. We all know light is faster than sound. except in the movies. Normally, lightning strikes, and we hear the thunder a few moments later (even when it occurs at close range. In 99% of all movies, they happen at the same time, because your audience is too dense to realize it is lightning without the thunder (apparently.
2) Airplane pressure. From the iconic ending of Goldfinger to most other movies, it is believed that if you depressurize a plane cabin, you'll get sucked out the hole. Nope! Not true. Mythbusters disproved it and yet they still do it. Friggin' DUH!

Okay we realists do accept that there are A LOT of mistakes made by 'Hollywood' but if that is allowed, it is, it all comes together to actually make sometimes interesting viewing. Don't be too hard on the actors when they do things that make viewers think or say 'don't do that, don't go in there or that would normally kill you or why doesn't my life have that advantage)' etc. It is entertainment. We pay for it so entertain us. Allow us mortals watch and therefore become the hero/heroine is these fantasies. To swoon over the gorgeous, marvellous, brave and oh so clever actors on the silver screen that can enter our dreams and fulfil our fantasies.

A popular movie trope, especially when there is a love story involved, is when a main character changes everything about themselves, from their looks to their personality, to be with the person they supposedly love. It's usually women or girls changing themselves for a man, but I have seen movies where it is reversed. I hate this trope - it's offensive, a bad message to be sending to the audience (especially when it occurs in kids' movies) and unrealistic. And hey, if it does happen in real life then let me tell you - that person for whom you've changed everything that makes you YOU is NOT worth it.

I've been inclined to believe #3's eye mask plot line ever since I was in a play in middle school that required blue face paint. I went to my own locker after practice and bumped into a guy I spoke to every single day with an adjoining locker and he had no idea who I was. It wasn't even super opaque face paint, and I was wearing the same clothes from earlier Zero idea who I was, and asked if I was new. Right, i'm a new blue kid who stole someone's locker that just used it and spoke to you earlier that day. People just aren't as observant as you give them credit for.

6: 29 Well. I feel sorry to say this, but there really are people(or at least one person) who is this kind of blind to failing recognizing someone with some mask(or even worse, a pair of glass, or just some stubble) on their face.
Yup, I do know one of that kind of person IRL, and no, he is not blind. otherwise he won't be typing THIS comment right now. Yes, I'm the person who fail to see though the mask(for real person only. I almost never miss recognizing any 2-D person on cartoon/anime/manga/comics)

The love interest breaking it off which means leaving town and the protagonist going to them and catching them just as they are about to go through the gate at the airport. Not only would they have to know what airline they were flying on, their flight time, but also the gate number and time it just right so that they get the person at the exact moment not to mention by the time you get to security you usually already have to have shown your ticket.

Agree with the grenade one, anybody that was in the military knows that a simple hand grenade won't blow up a whole house. The shrapnel is what gets you, the explosion appears to be pretty unimpressive with a standard fragmentation grenade. When it comes to weapons, a machine gun goes through a magazine of ammo in just a few seconds, there aren't enough bullets to take down a dozen guys without reloading.

TBF, the time I tried contacts even my family took a few seconds to recognise me. And often the mask-wearer and the other person aren't close or aware of what the other physically looks like so it's not usually a case of a best friend doesn't recognise their best friend. And your Cinderella story example doesn't work out in your favour because they only talked to each other via text or IMs. Not face-to-face.

Within 5 meters of grenade explosion, you're more than likely to get killed. With 15 meters of it, you're likely to get maimed. The chances of injury decrease after 25 meters. Grenades work through fragmentation of the outer casing, The exterior of it splits into innumerable tiny pieces which are pushed away from the explosion VERY quickly and imbed themsevles into their victim

The one about people being in the back seat. this does happen. While rare, rapists have been known to wait in the backseats of cars (check out the Snopes article. It even happened to a friend of mine in college, although she noticed him in time to run. And sorry Ms. Mojo, it is impossible to be aware all the time (like after an all night study session.

The one I could see happening in real life is a Cinderella story. However the only way I think it could happen is if Austin either never talked to or seen Samantha prior to the costume party. Then he'd have little to no idea what she looks like. But after seeing her he'd definitely recognize her after that even without.

You forgot the most annoying one of all
There is always a man, and a woman. They are always straight, single, and attracted to one another. This crap plagues so much of films and TV that I will actually appreciate films just for not including this trope

Using the clip of Nedry and the dinosaur from Jurassic Park to cover the blind spot issue is a bit unfair, since it was well established that Nedry's blind spot, when he was not wearing his glasses, covered approximately 100% of his field of vision. ;)

even though its a horror movie, the Nightmare on Elm Street series is a great example of #2. if freddy would have just shut up and let his glove to the talking, he would of had a higher body count. (before you judge, I do love the series despite this)

A cliche I hate is when people gather in a circle to discuss their plan, but all we ( the audience) can hear is inaudible whispers! I liked the beach boy parody on full house though.

Sometimes the car will turn on if you try a couple of times. I've been pretty lucky.
Also there have been actual stories of people who are driving with someone in the back seat

How about when characters fall in love at first sight? As romantic as the idea is, it could just never happen in real life. You can experience infatuation at first sight, but not love.

Weren't domino masks originally a theatrical/operatic convention? You know, so the audience can still recognise the star but realise that they're supposed to be in disguise.
