Corrected entry: The red truck is shown to have 1991 license plates, although the film is set in the 1960's. Also near the end, when Meryl Streep is riding in her husband's truck through town, many modern cars are seen in the background through the truck window.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
Continuity mistake: When we first see her drive her truck it is dark blue or gray but when she meets him at the bridge it is white.

Suggested correction: The first time Francesca is driving the truck, it is the white one, when she drives at night to leave the note at the bridge. There's a shot later of a blue truck, but that is Robert Kinkaid's as he is driving to the Roseman bridge the next day. Francesca meets him there, driving the white truck. Also, the Johnsons have multiple vehicles, including at least two pickup trucks and a car.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
Continuity mistake: Driving to the bridge the landscape (a farm with a red and a yellow house) in the background (behind Meryl Streep) is seen twice. And many of the houses seen through Meryl's truck window are modern, not old farm houses. (00:21:35 - 00:22:45)

Suggested correction: The flashback scenes are set in 1965. The houses seen in the background are either older farm houses or more modern ones consistent with mid-20th century architecture. In the Post WWII era, there was significant economic and population growth, along with increased construction (including in rural areas), with new homes being built in among older houses.

Toy Story (1995)
Trivia: The carpet design used in Sid's house is the same design used in the hotel featured in The Shining (1980). (00:48:55 - 00:50:10)

The design is spot on. The color is just different.
So it is identical, except for how it is different?
No one said it was identical. The trivia is the pattern is the same. Color has no bearing on the trivial fact. The fact that they animated the carpet means the design was intentional. Although, it's possible they copied the design from a 70's carpet pattern that "The Shining" also used, rather than copy the design in "The Shining."

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Corrected entry: When they are in Antarctica, people are just running around without hats or gloves, and we don't see their breath.
Correction: This is a common fallacy. You don't always see your breath just because it's cold. It also depends on humidity. If it's very dry, you won't see your breath.

Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Corrected entry: The first time we see Georgiana playing the piano she is in a room with a harp and her back is reflected in a mirror. We can see it is the music room. The second time Georgiana is playing the piano, it is in the room that leads into the music room boasting a long red couch as the backdrop, The piano forte seems to move about the castle as it sees fit.

Friends (1994)
Trivia: The artwork on the wall behind the couch in the coffee house changes every 6 episodes.

Suggested correction: That's not really trivia nor a continuity mistake. Small businesses, particularly cafes and coffee houses, often show different local artists' work on a rotating basis in an effort to support the local arts.

Passengers (2016)
Corrected entry: When the ship loses gravity, only Gus' arms rise from the bed. His head, the rest of his body, the blanket, etc. should show some effects of being weightless but do not.
Correction: In that scene, the blanket doesn't appear to move at all, while (as you said) his arms float into the air, which suggests that the blanket itself is held down magnetically (or through some other mechanism). His bed may have this extra feature because he's a crew member.
Even if your explanation was accurate, for which there is no evidence, Gus' body, not just his arms, would still show effects of the lost gravity. His head would move, his body would attempt to lift up and be shown to be restrained by the "magnetic" blanket holders. Even if it was magnetic, there was enough slack in the blanket that his body would have risen an inch or two.
When gravity disappears, objects do not attempt to lift up; they stay where they are, unless there is some force applied to them.

Roseanne (1988)
Corrected entry: Over the course of the show, the entrance into DJ's bedroom changes position. In the earlier seasons, the entry was on the right-hand side of the screen and the bathroom door was to the left. In later episodes, the characters entered the bedroom from the left-hand side. Everything else in the room remains the same.

Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Julia Roberts is on the bus to Iowa, when she is on the bus, she is seated on the right side of the bus. When they show her traveling into town, she is seated on the left side of the bus.
Correction: There is plenty of time for Laura/Sara to change seats if she desires to.

Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
Corrected entry: Martin returns to the empty beach house to looks for clues about Laura's disappearance. While there, he goes through boxes of Laura's papers. But why would these boxes be at the beach house, instead of at the couple's main house in Boston? Or why would he cart them all the way to Cape Cod when he could just look at them in the main house?
Correction: This was a character choice. Simply because something seems odd is not reason enough for it not to happen.

Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
Corrected entry: When Laura is escaping from the beach house we see her putting on a wig and then lifting a roll of bank notes from her bag. During the film it is clear she doesn't work so she has obviously saved money for her escape. How, then, is she managing to pay for her mother's upkeep in the nursing home without her husband knowing? The part-time library job that's mentioned wouldn't pay nearly enough.
Correction: It is possible that Laura's mother is paying for her own upkeep. It's never mentioned whether she had money or not.

Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
Corrected entry: Laura cuts off her hair before putting on the wig. But when she gets to Iowa it's practically the same length it was before.
Correction: She chopped her extensions off. In the beginning of the movie you can see where her real hair starts and ends.

Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Close to the beginning of the film when Rose is looking through Jack's drawings, a man walks by with a long black coat down to his ankles, in the following shot you see the same man walk past only this time the coat is just below the waist and a different colour from the previous shot. (00:49:10)

Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Jack is sketching Rose, Rose's thumb position at her eyebrow changes from shot to shot. (01:22:50)
Correction: As an artist, I've done hundreds of hours of life drawing. Models constantly move around a bit while they're posing. Their muscles get stiff and cramped, they get tired, they're bored, they move an appendage without realizing it, they get cold, and so on. It would be unrealistic if Rose held the pose without any variation whatsoever.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: When the Indoraptor is attacking Owen and Claire, its claw goes through her calf. When she returns in the next scene the wound is in her thigh. (01:41:35)
Correction: It only appears that way but her leg was turned at the time it was stabbed by the claw. The wound didn't move, just her leg did.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: The cage housing the Indoraptor during the initial reveal with Maisie was later used as the same hallway Maisie ran down when meeting Owen for the first time. Instead of a cage, it led to a dead end with a dumbwaiter. All bars and floor markings vanished.
Correction: The Lockwood estate is quite large and the basement level would have many similar-looking passages and hallways. Maisie was running down a different hall.
It wouldn't be a different hallway: @ 1:05:45, she descends spiral staircase into hallway with the indoraptor, @ 1:21:41, camera pans past the cages and the same staircase to show the same hallway with the dumb-waiter.

Alien (1979)
Corrected entry: When the film starts you see the bridge and a stack of papers flap in a breeze.The crew are in hyper sleep and don't need oxygen so it's very unlikely they would have their valuable oxygen supply switched on and turned up enough to make a breeze for the 20 months it takes to travel back to earth.
Correction: The oxygen supply had been turned back on because they were about to wake from hypersleep.
Correction: Who said it's oxygen? It could be any inert gas. Nitrogen doesn't support combustion or corrosion, dissipates heat, and can be easily mixed with stored compressed oxygen in the right proportion immediately to the crew being revived.
Correction: The company that owned the ship intended for the crew (without their knowledge) to be diverted to that planet solely to collect one of the aliens. The ship was programmed to wake them up at a specific time and location and it would make sure that all life support systems were fully functional before waking them.
Correction: This happened before the ship received the signal and so they wouldn't have been woken otherwise.
A ventilation system operating a fan would not use up the valuable oxygen supply. At most it would be wasting a small amount of energy, however if there was no air in the ship, the heat from the computers would not be able to dissipate.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: Owen is dosed with Carfentanil in an amount intended for dinosaurs. At 10,000 times the potency of Morphine, that amount of the drug would have killed him. It's so potent, the lethal dosage for humans is measured in micrograms.
Correction: The quantity needed to anaesthetise the dinosaurs would depend on their size, and the users would have been trained to measure out the necessary quantities. It is likely they would have also adjusted it for Owen so that he was not killed.
Not sure what the amount needed for the dinosaurs has to do with Owen. Any amount that would bring down a dinosaur would certainly kill a human.
The amount used was calibrated for a smaller dinosaur like Blue. Also, Zia pulled the dart out of Owen before it was fully injected into his body (the liquid can still be seen in the vial) so he did not get the entire dose, which might have been enough to kill him.

Almost Famous (2000)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Russell comes to William's house, thinking it is Penny's, confusion ensues as he begins to question where he is. William's sister, Anita, stands there equally confused as she gazes at Russell, looking as if any random person came to the house, showing no signs (neither speechless shock nor excitement) of recognizing the now famous rock star. Her reaction is completely inconsistent with her character given her fervent love for rock 'n roll. Indeed, not only did she serve as the sole catalyst for William's passion for rock 'n roll but she left home earlier in the film because their mother forbade her listening to it. Moreover, she'd just flown home with William following William's long tour with Russell and Stillwater. Thus, there is no credible possibility that she would not recognize Russell, making her reaction wholly inconsistent with her character.
Correction: It's entirely plausible that Anita is unfamiliar with Stillwater or is only mildly aware of them. As the title implies, they are, "Almost Famous." Anita may only have followed the biggest bands of the era and was uninterested in an upcoming "mid-level" band as "Rolling Stone" magazine describes them. William may have told her about his adventures on the road with them, but that does not mean she knows what the band members look like. She's also been a flight attendant for a few years, and may not follow rock bands as when she was teenager. Stillwater was not even a notable mid-level band when Anita left home.
Correction: There's a clear shot of the plate where you can see "65" in the corner for the year. The left side reads "61", but that's the pattern, not the issue year. The plate looks to be "562S7." 1991 used the ABC-123 pattern. Although I don't think 1965 used letters, but I can't be certain.
