Factual error: Regarding the church service on the Titanic, it was non-sectarian, however it was based on the Anglican Church in England (or Episcopal in America). The fact is that Captains did conduct the service, were open to anyone; thus Jack could not have been kept out. (01:12:05)

Titanic (1997)

Suggested correction: On the real Titanic, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd classes were strictly segregated, not to mention the social attitudes of the era. Hence, no steerage passenger (e.g. Jack Dawson) would have been allowed onto First-class spaces. Furthermore, in real life, there was no single church service open to all on that day - Second class had their own service in their dining room (i.e., separate from First class).
Then, how did Jack get to go to dinner with the first-class passengers?
He was invited for saving Rose's life. (I haven't seen the scene in years, but I think Rose invites him.) Molly Brown then gets him some clothes. (I believe she mentions that he is her son's size.) Otherwise, he would not have been allowed in 1st class.

The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
Plot hole: Shortly after the ship flips over, the steward, Acres, is asked why lights are on. He explains they are emergency lights that will last three hours. The lights are left on throughout the movie, but when they get out it is bright daylight. Considering the ship flipped at midnight, there is nowhere on any ocean where it gets light at 3:00 in the morning.
