Corrected entry: In the Two Towers, as the Ents are about to attack Isengard, they have to walk from Fangorn Forest to Isengard. However, in Return of the King, the two are right next to each other. It's not that the Ents have taken root again, because you can see them walking around in the background. It was probably done deliberately, so that Merry and Pippin could see them walking out of the forest, but still a mistake.

Correction: A scene restored to the extended edition of TTT shows the Huorns, which are moving trees but not Ents, arrive at Helm's Deep and stomp the orcs to death, when they flee into the newly formed forest. This scene from the book was deleted from the theatrical edition of TTT for reasons of length, but explains why the forest is closer to Isengard in ROTK.

Corrected entry: Early in the film, Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are camped out inside a diamond-shaped structure. When the structure is shown from the outside, the diamond appears taller and thinner than when shown from inside looking out.

Correction: The upper edge of the diamond is built out as well as up, so its appearance changes a lot depending on the camera angle.
