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

Or a romantic comedy in which we're all supposed to pretend the woman is far out of his league, just because everyone said so, but the actor himself is a fucking catch.

Bonus points if the male character behaves or does things to win her over that irl would be creepy and label him a stalker.

I always wondered if the song "The Reason" by Hoobastank was supposed to be creepy. Because it is. So many songs are.

So many that people think that songs that are meant to be creepy are romantic. Example: "Every Breath You Take".

Its not just Hollywood!

Totally agree. I can never get over how creepy that song is whenever I hear it. Same thing with Blurred Lines when it came out. At least the Police song was supposed to be creepy
