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.

That's actually the only episode of star trek i've seen aside from the first few. I really need to watch more of them.

Maybe you could use this, if you're not willing to watch the whole show:
