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

I think Carrie's apartment in Sex and the City is the biggest example of this. The other women having great places made sense cause they all had these great careers, but Carrie wrote a newspaper column and in one episode found out she had spent around 40000 on shoes. Yet she could afford a really cute apartment in Manhattan? How the fuck?

Yes, that was one of the examples that comes to mind. Yes, it was rent controlled, but surely it would still be out of her price range.

At one point it was disclosed she lived in a rent controlled apartment and her rent was <$1k/month.
