Why does movies insist on making this? I remember Sopranos doing it right at least.

In the early days of motion pictures the cameras and projectors were not very good and small details like fingernails, eyes, arms etc. would often be blurry.
During the editing of The New Pupil director Edward Cahn noticed that an entire scene involving Juanita Quigley waking up made no sense since one couldn't see if she had her eyes closed or not.
They had to come up with something quick and Julian Fazan, editor Adrienne Fazan's cousin, actually gave Cahn the idea that actually won him the award for Best Unique and Artistic Quality of Production in the 1913 Academy Awards.
