Completely accurate things in movies that don't seem right when watching it in a movie?

What are things in movies that are completely accurate, but for whatever reason, just don't seem right when watching it in a movie? For example, how sometimes some audience members complain about an actor or actress's "terrible fake accent" even though it is that person's actual accent. What are other things that are completely accurate but just don't seem right when watching it in a movie? Thanks to anyone that replies.

I remember when Almost Famous came out, Cameron Crowe said he almost left the part out where William coincidentally bumps into his sister in an airport because it sounded too unbelievable. He ended up leaving it in the movie because it actually happened to him when he was younger.

Yeah, I feel like any coincidences that happen in movies lead to eye rolls when they happen quite often in the real world.

I stopped caring about contrived relationships when we found out my wife’s gynecologist takes music lessons from the same guy that my kid does.
So, things like Jango Fett being the clone template or Anakin building C-3PO do not bother me one bit.


Something else that people think is unbelievable but can be done is astronauts being briefly expose to vacuum like in 2001: ASO. It hurts like hell apparently but it’s survivable.
