After watching that John wick film on the telly last night: whenever Ian McShane turns up in something and does his whole “I can’t believe I’ve got away with stealing this living” schtick.
When the credits have people with nicknames in quotes.
Rigger- Mark “Bigtop” Top
Sound Assistant- Pete “Beast” Altman

newspaper spinning into focus to reveal a bombshell headline
lawyers / journalists going through mountains of files, highlighting and underlining and maybe even circling key words
cork board with string linking up all the elements of some conspiracy
chases through / murders in corn fields. very cinematic plant, corn
characters in romantic period dramas writing letters to their crushes
any sort of heist. heists are cool imo

when they are really sad and everyone dies
Character pushes open two double doors and strides purposefully down the school corridor while some cool music plays and other students stand out of their way and look at them with either awe or disgust or maybe a mixture.
Character arrives at a location and walks through the scene having multiple interactions with different people on their way to the real setting of the upcoming scene to demonstrate to us that they are important and/or popular

When someone uses a catchphrase, e.g. Arnie’s “I’ll be back”, or when whoever’s playing James Bond in a James Bond film says “My name is James Bond”.
Yes, like in Amadeus when Arnie shows up and says " I’ll be Bach."
This is extremely prevalent in Eastenders.
