S/o of the people that get mad about blatant music errors:
I seriously lose my shit any time "Avatar" is brought up, because YOU PEOPLE HAD A $237,000,000 BUDGET AND YOU COULDN'T THROW $50 AT SOMEONE TO COME UP WITH A BETTER NAME THAN "UNOBTAINIUM"?!?!?!
In "Ground Hogs Day": Bill Murray doesn't age. But he is able to develop the muscle memory to learn to play piano. You can't have one without the other.
The guy gets stuck in a never ending loop for 10 years. I think if the rules of the universe can be bent for that to happen, then a little muscle memory ain't no thang.

That was 10 years!?
Harold Ramis estimated that it had to at least have been 10 years, just based on all the skills that he learned during the time he was stuck in the loop.

The rules can be bent, but when the movie establishes "new rules" (like you can wake up every day for ten years and not age), it should follow its own rules. That's what all of these plot holes ultimately boil down to. You suspend your disbelief for the sake of the rules the movie establishes and then it doesn't follow THOSE rules.

Back to the Future 2: Why stick Jennifer in the alley and not keep her in the DeLorean? Is it really less conspicuous that way? It would have prevented all of the events of the rest of the movie and the third one if they'd kept her there.

Yes! So much this! I didn't understand that part at all. What was the point?
Alladin: Jafar has a Snake Staff that can be used to manipulate the actions of other people, rendering his entire plan to use the Genie to make him the ruler of Agrabah completely pointless. Why didn’t he just use the staff to make Jasmine love him? Why didn’t he use it on Aladdin to persuade him to leave or kill himself? Why didn’t he use it to persuade the Sultan to step down from the throne and crown him the new ruler?
HOW is it that the pants Bruce Banner wears when he turns into the Hulk fit him still? His shirt always rips off, why are the pants so stretchy? What material is that, I want some of it.
My kid JUST asked this question. We decided that he keeps his waist size and just gets jacked on top and in the calves, hence the cutoffs.
The one that has always bugged me is one from the Star Wars trilogy. In Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan takes baby Luke back to Tattoine. I get he thought it most unlikely that Vadar (who hated his home planet) would ever visit there and "sense" Luke. But to have Luke's step-uncle/aunt raise him and, most of all, to keep the name Skywalker?
Come on!
ETA: Luke's step-uncle/aunt not step-brother/sister in law.

He thought Anakin was dead and at the funeral they showed Padme as still pregnant so Anakin thought they were both dead.
In Django Unchained, why did the slave women have straightened hair?
Not a movie, but I have related issues with Game of Thrones. Why do most of the women in the brothel have no pubic hair? I get that maybe one or two shaved because there would be demand for it, but come on. These people are fighting with swords and shitting in outhouses. The women were bushy.
It really irritates me when a movie is supposed to take place in my city but it's clearly filmed elsewhere or they give directions and talk about places that don't actually exist. That stupid movie hall pass is an example.
Like Juno, which shows mountains as she's driving through central MN?
Or Fargo (the TV show) that shows skyscrapers in downtown Duluth?
I watched the first few episodes with a friend from Bemidji. She was hollering at the TV something fierce.
They didn't show a ton of Fargo shots, but what they did show I was like "Yeah, no".

I am still mad that the Rachel/ Monica relationship rift was never explained or discussed on Friends. This was not a convenient childhood friendship. They were friends all the way through, despite different social circles. Yet, Rachel didn't invite Monica to her wedding and Rachel had no idea bag Monica lost weight.
In re- watching Roseanne I get pissed at the Becky changeover. We go from Lacey Goranson about to go off to night school to Sarah Chalke in "Buns!" hot pants. If the storyline was already headed in the direction before the cast change it is still an chauvinistic oversight that Roseanne should not have been okay with.
My fourth grade teacher had us watch Never ending story and was big on pointing out that the princesses' eyes changed colors in a lot of scenes. The role was played by twin sisters.
Not really a plot hole but something that has always bothered me...in Goonies in the skeleton piano scene Andi is reading the music and asks if a note is an a-sharp or a b-flat. THEY ARE THE SAME NOTE. Did NOBODY on the set of this movie read music or was it just to make Andi look stupid?
Music errors drive me INSANE in movies. I refuse to believe no one involved in the movie from start to finish has no musical education whatsoever.
One of the biggest musical errors for me is in August Rush (which is kinda terrible but I LOVE IT) when August first sits down at the piano (or organ? Can't remember) in the orphanage and plays a couple notes. On the screen, the second note he plays is lower than the first by a good 3rd or 4th. But you hear a note that is quite obviously a higher pitch than the first. That very nearly ruined the whole movie for me the first time I saw it and I still have to smack my forehead and scream "OH COME ON!!" when I see it. Bozos.
Oh God I hate when actors miss Fake Piano Playing 101. That is why Pride and Prejudice and Big Bang are my favorites. Sheldon and Howard play on BBT and they both actually play. In P+P Lucy Briers (Mary) and Emelia Fox (Georgiana) actually play though they used a dubbed Melvin Tan track. Three others play but you don't really see their hands and they obviously attended their Fake Piano 101 because I can find no fault in it. It drives me nuts in other movies when there are marching bands and the players are holding their hands wrong, like the flute is facing the wrong way or the clarinets and saxophones have their right hand on top. Drives me nuts. Happens in a lot of commercials.

High born women plucked
Do you have a source for this? I would not have expected that, or even shaving. I love historical tidbits like this.

I would have expected 70's bush on everyone.
I could have sworn I read somewhere once that they shaved due to pubic lice.
I heard the same thing in an Anthony Bourdain show (I forget which one, not the CNN show though) when he went to Philadelphia and took a walking tour. The host was describing brothels and prostitutes and stuff found in colonial Philly.
There was also something about women wearing beaver pelts to hide being clean-shaven, hence the term "beaver" for a woman's bush.
There was some poor tween boy taking the tour with his parents and he looked like he wanted to die every time Bourdain got the tour guide to talk about something sex-related.

Hmm, thinking I didn't hear it from a Anthony Bourdain show, I think I'd remember the beaver pelt story, lol.
