4. The 'Exit'
Either Boy or Girl will decide they have to leave whatever location the whole movies events are occurring within, whether it be by plane, train, boat or automobile. ... But not space ship, as this could be construed as original and this genre tries to avoid such a trait. The "betrayal" they have "suffered" as a result of the aforementioned misinterpretation / miscommunication is so HUGE that they must give up their jobs, their homes and their friends and family in order to completely evacuate the city or the country and start again.

I'm a part-time writer, part-time stand-up comedian, full time movie geek who strongly believes Martin Brest's MIDNIGHT RUN is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, movie ever made!
(... This is the bit where you mutter "You must be some sort of friggin' comedian if you think Midnight Run is the greatest movie ever made!")
I'm a massive junkie for 'revenge' and 'conspiracy' movies and I'm an even bigger fan of all things John Carpenter, Albert Brooks, Coen Brothers, Sidney Lumet, Paul Thomas Anderson, Tony Scott, Christopher Nolan, Michael Mann, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, David Fincher, Wes Anderson and Shane Meadows.
