Review (in 1996):

The Movie Clichés List is a triumph of content over presentation. Giancarlo Cairella doesn't go in for fancy graphics, but he's put plenty of energy into the laundry list of filmdom's greatest repeating phenomena.

The list covers dozens of topics, ranging from war (you'll never survive if you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home), to chess (supposedly brilliant players always miss one-move checkmates in critical games), to schools (teachers are always interrupted mid-sentence by the end-of-class bell).

Anyone who's been to more than 10 movies will recognize something here. Great stuff, even if it does leave out how every window in Washington, D.C., has a view of the Capitol.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
