Why are the streets always wet in nighttime scenes on movies & tv?

    Cinematographers like the reflections of lights off the pavement compared to the dull look of dry asphalt. Strictly a cosmetic appeal that got carried away by being copied too often.

    Sets the eerie scene at night, for dramatic effect.

    Perhaps it's visually more appealing.
