There have been a couple of fun books published dealing specifically
with 'movie clichés' (apart from various web sites devoted to the
issue). Upon closer inspection, however, it strikes me that what is
often listed as a cliché is probably best considered to be a
convention. So my query is: what's the difference between the two? Can
this distinction between convention and cliché be theorized somewhat
in scholarly fashion? Any thoughts?
