History MundaneMadeAwesome / Film

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoyTheMovie'': An elderly woman [[EarAche twisting the ear of a criminal who ran over her vegetables]], made awesome by it being [[CallingYourAttacks a called attack]] and the [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers last to follow]] three of the hero's elemental attacks.

* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in ''Film/{{Scrooged}}'' where after viewing a fairly standard holiday special promo for the network's upcoming live broadcast of AChristmasCarol, Bill Murray's Frank Cross shows a promo of his own making where it's implied that not watching the special will cause the destruction of the Earth by every means imaginable.

* ''Film/BackToTheFuture'': "Lou, give me a milk!" (slams a nickel onto the counter) "Chocolate!" He grabs the glass without looking, takes one epic swig of it, and slams the glass back down on the counter. Lou made his own contribution to the awesomeness of this moment by sending George's glass on a full-length counter slide directly into his waiting hand. It's a beautiful play on the concept of the [[TheFifties swinging 50's.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': I'M PEEING! IN THE SHOWER!

* According to director Brad Bird, ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' was built to be a combination of "the mundane and the fantastic". It indeed did its job well.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', Po's training is completed by Po and Shifu having an epic kung fu fight... over ''a dumpling.''
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'', [[TheFool Emmet's]] ultimate creation is... the double-decker couch! It's PlayedForLaughs, of course (and the couch is absolutely AwesomeButImpractical and cited as that by the characters themselves).

* ''Film/TheRoom'' has a particularly noticeable example. When Mark shaves his beard, they zoom in directly on his face and play dramatic music... for no good reason. Since the entire movie consists of loosely strung together scenes, what do we expect?

** Creator/SidJames' character escapes on a go-kart while he's chased out of a seaside resort by a crowd of angry locals at the end of ''Film/CarryOnGirls''.

* [[WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons Meet the Robinsons]]: Uncle Art looks like a superhero, talks like a superhero, and even rides on a UFO-like vehicle, which he uses to… deliver pizzas.

* ''Film/{{Dhoom}} 2'' invokes this trope all the time. One of the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} examples also involves ProductPlacement. As Jai Dixit theorizes about the antagonist, we see Mr. A in his SupervillainLair. One of his inventions is a bracelet that can pull anything magnetic towards him. So naturally... he pulls a can of Coca-Cola towards him, and drinks it as the movie's theme song plays. [[CriticalResearchFailure Never mind that Coca-Cola cans are made of aluminum]].

* ''Film/BubbleBoy'' has Jimmy reacting this way to pretty much everything he sees - which stands to reason, as he's spent 18 years in his house.

-->'''Mike, Tom and Crow: '''"Nor-mal view! NOR-mal view! NOR-MAL view! NOOOR-MAAAL VIIIEEEW!!!"
** It should be noted that ''[=MST3K:TM=]'' does this as well, with an awesome, inspiring musical cue underscoring the first transition into the theater -- although it's most likely done tongue-in-cheek.

* ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'': Apart from the epic battles with Ramona's various exes, lots of mundane things that Scott does are given epic portrayals using extreme close-ups, dramatic music, and special effects. This is most particularly noticeable when Scott managed to epically tie his shoelaces before his confrontation with Gideon.

** ''Film/DrNo'' and ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', being the first two Bond movies (not counting the original, unofficial ''Film/CasinoRoyale1954'' with Creator/BarryNelson), use the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Bond theme]] at every situation possible, even simple ones such as Bond's airplane arriving and 007 driving to the beach.
*** ''From Russia with Love'' contains James Bond CALMLY INVESTIGATING HIS ROOM! He does find a bug on his telephone, but the fact that the music is blaring loudly while nothing happens except for Bond looking at various objects - almost literally zero physical threats at this point - make it just a little overblown.

* The commercial for "Brawndo" energy drink from the film ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'' has an over-enthusiastic announcer who shouts every other set of words. It's got '''electrolytes!'''

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** In one scene just before the climax of ''Film/IronMan1'', Creator/JeffBridges as Obadiah Stane turns the act of taking a sip of whiskey into a long, intense, incredibly menacing event. As one reviewer put it, "he drinks the ''shit'' out of a glass of Scotch."
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar:''
-->'''Hundred-year-old super soldier and former brainwashed killing machine:''' ''[coldly and badassly]'' Can you move your seat up?\\
'''Veteran who's flown dozens of combat missions in an unarmored flight suit:''' ''[also coldly and badassly]'' No.\\
''[Hundred-year-old super soldier coldly and badassly scoots to the middle of the bench seat.]''

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'': "Wind the frog!"

* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' managed to make audiences applaud for [[spoiler:the act of ''a fat man standing up'']], accompanied by "Also Sprach Zardustra".

* The earliest films, from the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, all depict everyday people doing everyday things like leaving a factory after work, waiting for a train to arrive at the station in the Film/LumiereFilms. However, the fact alone that these are the earliest films in existence and a snapshot of what life was like in that time make them all incredibly fascinating to watch.

* In ''Film/FreeWilly'', after noticing a leak in the tank, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbZx6SEViEM guard menacingly eats a piece of popcorn]] while a Dramatic {{Sting}} plays.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': I'M PEEING! IN THE SHOWER!
