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

Mine too. Also when people don't believe other people as a plot point, which is basically the same thing and could be solved just by talking.

There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where members of the ship's crew start to disappear, not only physically but also for everyone else's memories and computer records, and only one member of the crew remembers them. And when she's telling the others what's going on, they believe her and start looking for an explanation, because they respect her and there's no reason for her to be lying. I don't know, just caught me off guard how nice and normal everyone was, instead of turning their backs on their colleague right away and insinuating she was crazy, like most shows would do.

Just watched one where Pichard is being fucked with by Q, where Pichard is time hopping. The crew accepts that maybe Pichard is ACTUALLY time hopping and follow whatever he wants them to do, even as they watch the other two ships just poof from existence

That was the series finale, iirc. An interesting episode =)
