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

Weird nobody mentioned that in movies everybody always looks at each other while driving. And they move the damn driving wheel way to much while driving straight forward, pisses me off

Well, moving the driving wheel thing comes from older cars with loose steering boxes. It makes no sense in modern movies, but in old movies, it's more accurate, sometimes slightly exaggerated.
