Corrected entry: During the life raft plunge out of the plane, Willie is the only one who screams. Indy and Shorty are courageously (curiously?) silent. During the next drop off the snowy cliff, it's Indy and Shorty's turn to scream, and Willie remains silent for the entire fall. (00:17:40 - 00:18:25)

Batman (1966)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Robin discovers no yacht in the picture, Batman says as you truly remarked, no one can make a sea going vessel disappear. Robin never stated that the yacht disappeared. A reporter asked Batman about the disappearing yacht at the news conference, after the shark attack, and Batman responds how can a yacht simply disappear? (00:18:55)

Jurassic Park (1993)
Corrected entry: If the Rex can only see things that move, how did she find the goat?
Correction: As presented in the second book "The Lost World" the theory that the T-rex cannot see you if you are not moving is bogus.

A Christmas Story (1983)
Corrected entry: When Ralphie imagines himself saving his family from Black Bart, he fires at the enemies and knocks them down. When he shoots, the men he hits are all in different areas of the yard, but when he's done, they're all in one neat pile.

A Christmas Story (1983)
Corrected entry: Ralphie hands in his theme and the teacher tells him to sit down. His classmates laugh at him, and as he goes to sit down, a classmate says, "You're a geek." - a typically 1980s phrase but not a typically 1930s/40s phrase.
Correction: Whereas "geek" means "nerd" nowadays, back in the 1930s/40s it meant something more along the lines of a freak, specifically someone who performs in a side show by eating live animals. So it is not so unreasonable that the kid would call Ralphie a "geek" as a way of saying he is a weirdo.
It sounded to me liked he used the word "genius".

Correction: While you make a reasonable point, there is no way of knowing where and why a character would chose to scream. Perhaps Willie passed out briefly, and that's why she stops screaming. Also, Indiana could have started screaming because he thought he had it under control then they fall off the cliff.
