The Goonies (1985)

Corrected entry: If all the kids entered the same water slide, how is it they exit through different holes? There is no shot showing them splitting up. In fact, in one shot, two of the kids are shown almost on top of each other when sliding down the water slide.

Correction: The fact that we don't see splits on screen doesn't mean there weren't any.

Home Alone (1990)

Corrected entry: Kevin can manage to do the shopping, and work out how to use the washing machine; and yet he needed his mum to help pack his suitcase?

Correction: All mothers see their kids as helpless, and all kids usually end up taking advantage of it.

Sereenie

Correction: This is a major theme of the movie. Kevin (and his family) learn that he's not helpless. He could have packed his suitcase if he'd actually tried.

Bruce Almighty (2003)

Corrected entry: When Bruce gets beat up by the gang they show the word "HERO" carved in his driver's side door. The gang did not have enough time to do that during or after the fight.

MCKD

Correction: The fight could have taken longer than what we see on screen. Would we really want to see a guy being beaten up for 10 minutes?

Amelie (2001)

Corrected entry: The mystery man in the photos turns out to be a repairman, but surely he can't be the only photo booth repairman in all of Paris? If he isn't, why is he the only one whose pictures reappear so often?

Correction: He is definitely a distinctive figure. He may not be the only repairman, but he's probably the most easily recognizable one.

Sereenie

Corrected entry: There is a very sudden change in the seasons partway through the movie. In the first part where Belle is in the town and later dancing and singing in her meadow, it is spring or summer. Later that day, after she's gone to the castle and rescued her father, then had her dinner with the dancing dishes, she decides to run away, and what do you know there's snow. It stays winter for a while until Gaston and crew go charging out to kill the Beast, at which point it starts raining.

Correction: Every now and then, you see trees with yellow and red leaves in the background, so it's probably fall, when the weather can change quite suddenly. Furthermore, the castle is in the mountains, so it's not inconceivable that the weather would be cooler and/or snowy there.

Sereenie

Correction: Mountain weather is notorious for unpredictability anyways.
