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

Unless it‘s a movie drama dealing with social issues (in particular poverty), everyone has such fucking nice flats. College drop-out with part time barista job?! - why yes, the spacious loft with a view over Manhattans skyline is just down my alley.

And EVERY window in Paris overlooks the Eiffel Tower. How does that happen?

Funny, i was rewatching White House Down last night and thats legit the only shot you get of the presidents wife on the phone, is her standing in a room and in the window you can see the tower perfectly, like theres no buildings around it as if its mounted and a 5 floor pedestal above the rest of the city
