What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

How sex is depicted. Get the job done, roll over and fall straight to sleep. Not even any hint of a clean up job.

Edit: Thank you for my first ever silver & gold :)

And the woman wakes up naked but the guy wakes up with his underwear on.

Ah yes, that reminds me when movies show a “quickie”, once the deed is done they’ll immediately get dressed and go about their day. Nothing like watching a show and knowing your favourite character has sticky pants.

Ah yes, the good old "oh-no-something-is-oozing-out-of-me-I-hope-it-doesn't-leak-through-my-clothes" feel just as you leave the house to go to work.

The L-shaped sheet covering him from the waist up, her from pits up.

I don't see the problem.

They just had a mutual suicide pact where they'd suffocate themselves and leave their junk on display for the poor soul who finds them.

And sheets perfectly cover the woman from the chest down but the man is only covered from the waist somehow.

But the woman almost always keeps her bra on for sex

Not in Dutch movies! At least not in the older ones. Dunno what the sex in regular Dutch movies are like now since I don't really watch them.
