Passes  easily being the subject of sources such as ''Ebert's Bigger Little Movie Glossary: A Greatly Expanded and Much Improved Compendium of Movie Cliches, Stereotypes, Obligatory Scenes, Hackneyed Formulas, Shopworn Conventions, and Outdated Archetypes''.  Individual cliches such as the happy ending are the subject of extensive academic analysis such as ''Happy Endings in Hollywood Cinema: Cliché, Convention, and the Final Couple'' and, as we have articles about these such as car chase and pie fight, it makes sense to have a list of them as an index.  The current draft isn't very good but it is quite new and so just requires support and and encouragement per our |editing policy.  The nominator has done nothing to help, though, and so should please see  and
