Corrected entry: The movie is set in the late 80's, yet when Sean is driving Mitchell's car, it is a 90's model Mercedes Benz SLK230.
The Rules of Attraction (2002)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Roger Avary
Starring: Jessica Biel, Shannyn Sossamon, James Van Der Beek, Kip Pardue
Continuity mistake: In the split screen scene when Lauren removes Sean's sunglasses, you can see that after the shot pans outward where both are facing each other, they are actually several feet apart. There is no way she could have reached his face from where she is standing. (00:37:01)
Mrs. Mimi Jared: And what classes are you taking... Dick?
Dick: Ummm, gangbang 101, Freebase Tutorial, and Oral Sex Workshop.
Trivia: When Sean Bateman answers the payphone call from Paul, he asks if it's Patrick calling. Patrick Bateman was a character from American Psycho, which was made by the same production company. Also, Patrick Bateman was Sean's brother in the novel.

Correction: The movie is most certainly set in the 90s (notice the video cameras and digital cameras employed by several of the characters, not to mention the car you noticed). The book on which the movie is based, however, was indeed set in the 80s.
