Wilhelm scream
Another great Wikipedia entry: The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that's been featured in dozens of movies. Here's a WAV recording of the scream. The Wikipedia page has a link to a page of other film sound clichés. Among the entries are the red-tailed hawk screeching sound which is often used to signify the open, desolate outdoors.
Movie sound effects remind me of the under-appreciated Brian DePalma film Blowout. A movie sound-man discovers a crime after listening to a recording that he made one evening while "sampling" sounds. Terrific thriller. The title is a takeoff on the Antonioni film Blowup which involves a photographer who may have accidentally photographed a crime while taking photos in the park.
