Here's another one: horror movie endings. Everybody's going to die, or the bad guy/evil spirit/constipation wasn't truly defeated and returns right before the credits.
That one is so overused.
You think you're safe, and then, just before the fade to black, you see something (especially somebody's eyes) glow an evil color (usually red), or hear snarling or maniacal laughter.
Similar cliche from movies about alien hunters/ cryptozoologists:
The team is heading home, and decides that whatever they saw is just a fluke. The only person who believed/first person to see the whatever looks out the back window and sees something that proves it was real but keeps it to himself, usually some variation on the whatever waving good-bye.
