It's true, what Rath says.

•Someone playing the President of the United States
•Trained cats
•Subliminal homo-eroticism in action movies (I put that in because we see it all the time, so it can't be wrong)

54. Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Clancy Brown, Owen Wilson, Austin Pendleton, Harry Dean Stanton, Al Leong, Bruce Greenwood, or Isaac Hayes

55. The credit "Arriflex cameras courtesy of Otto Nemenz"

56. Nazis being shot, beaten, or blown up

57. Looking-up-from-inside-the-trunk POV shots

58. Costumes by Edith Head

59. Lack of Martin Lawrence

60. Prosthetic limbs with weapons in them

61. Fight scenes that involve kicking people's legs out from under them

62. Characters explaining secret history ("In 1938, President Roosevelt commisioned an above-top-secret project to travel to the moon. Most of the volunteers wound up either dead or insane...")

63. Elaborate mission control rooms (especially with large illuminated maps)

64. The moments of unintentional humor that creep into Oliver Stone movies no matter what he does

65. Scenes with women unpinning their long hair

66. Debates about whether or not to use nuclear weapons (preferably in elaborate mission control rooms)

I'd like to include "slowly walking away from an explosion", but it's been retired due to flagrant overuse.
