West Side Story (1961)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, an overview shot of the playground and the Jets is shown, the movie then cuts to a closeup of Tony snapping his fingers. In the closeup, there is a boy riding his bike past Tony that was no where to be seen in the previous shot from above.

Audio problem: At one point near the end of the movie, you can hear Tzeitel's baby crying. Watch closely, and you'll see that the baby's mouth is not moving. It's even closed at times.

Continuity mistake: When the children are singing for the Baroness, the Captain joins them and enters the room. In this wide shot, we see Liesl only begin to put down the guitar. In the close up shot of the children, however, the guitar is almost all the way down.

Bugsy Malone (1976)

Revealing mistake: When Lena enters, interrupting Blousey's audition, watch her closely. As she's doing her long and complex "Ill give you one more chance and them I'm out for good out out out" bit, she looks at the camera not just once, but quite a few times.

Selena (1997)

Audio problem: In the scene where Selena opens her boutique, she introduces Yolanda Saldivar. The camera zooms in on Yolanda, but you can still see that Selena's mouth doesn't move when she says, "She's my fan club president."

Guys and Dolls (1955)

Visible crew/equipment: When Sarah and Sky are talking in the mission, Sarah, is trying to get him to leave and he insists he needs private lessons from her. Sarah says something along the lines of, "Well, our doors are always open, come back anytime." On this line, she crosses to the front door, opens it, and the viewer is treated to a full view of the Havana set, complete with the word "Havana" written on it.

Guys and Dolls (1955)

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Adelaide sneeze in the movie (at Mindy's), she says a line to Nathan, holds her empty hand up to her nose, and sneezes. In the next shot (the camera is at a different angle), her hand is suddenly dabbing her nose with a handkerchief.

The Music Man (1962)

Audio problem: If you listen carefully during the conversation between Marian and Ameryllis before "Goodnight, My Someone," you may notice something quite strange. After she is comforted by Marian, Ameryllis asks her, "If A GIRL doesn't have a sweetheart, who's HE going to say goodnight to on the evening star?"

Clifford (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Clifford (Martin Short) and Uncle Martin are talking about Clifford's prank at the gas station, the entire thing is being recorded by a taping device in the room. Uncle Martin says. "I'm gonna punish you, and that means Dinosaur World is out." And Clifford responds with, "I don't understand." However, when Clifford later comes up with an idea to use the tape recording in another one of his schemes, we again hear Uncle Martin say ".punish you, and that means Dinosaur World is out." BUT we hear Clifford respond with "That would be a mistake." Judging that this is a recording of the previous conversation, I don't see why Clifford should be saying something completely different than what he was saying before.

Audio problem: During the song "The Lonely Goatherd," Maria sings, "Men drinking beer with the foam afloat," Marta blows foam from the cups into Maria's face, and she coughs. You can see that Julie Andrews' mouth is not at all in sync with the coughing on the recording.
