Corrected entry: As Kirk realigns the warp core to restore power and save the USS Enterprise from crashing to Earth, Sulu tells Spock: "Without power, we'll incinerate on re-entry." It shows Kirk restoring power after it plummets below the clouds, which is well beyond the point where they would have been incinerated.

The Lake House (2006)
Corrected entry: Kate asks Alex to rescue her copy of Jane Austen's 'Persuasion' from the train station bench. Alex tells Kate he will save it for her for when they meet. Then, in her apartment bedroom at 1620 Racine that she's sharing with boyfriend Morgan, Kate checks a loose floorboard to find that book hidden beneath; though the story makes clear that Alex has never been inside the apartment.
Correction: When I saw the scene in which Kate discovers the book under the floor, I immediately thought that Alex, at some point, went into the apartment building while it was still in the process of being built and furnished and hid the book there. He, as an architect and builder was able to pull it of and thus fulfill his promise of bringing her the book. He did it sometime after they broke up and before Kate moved in. I therefore believe this was not a plot hole but a clever idea that fits the movie perfectly.

The Sound of Music (1965)
Corrected entry: After the boat overturns on the lake, and Maria is on the terrace in debate with the Captain, she ends with "I'm not finished" He responds with "Oh yes you are, Captain" then pauses and says "fraulein" [correcting his quite obviously misspoken dialogue with an embarrassed expression on his face; and then the camera captures Julie Andrews' surprised expression when he mistakenly calls her 'Captain'].
Correction: It's not a mistake in the film, it's Captain von Trapp being flustered and misspeaking. It's written this way in the play too.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Corrected entry: Kirk's birthday visit from McCoy in his personal quarters overlooking San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is soundtracked by an audible foghorn, though there's no fog. Atmospheric as though this may be, I know for a fact [as a resident of this place] that no foghorn will sound when there's no fog and the sky's full of stars.
Correction: This film is set in the 23rd century. There is no way to know it was a fog horn. It could merely be a similar sounding alert for something else. With the technology available, fog would hardly impair the ability to detect what is around them.

Margin Call (2011)
Corrected entry: About 90 minutes in, at the end of a board room meeting of the major cast, Zachary Quinto rises from the table while Simon Baker addresses him as "Zack", though no cast character is named 'Zack'.
Correction: Baker never addresses anyone by "Zack". When Quinto (Peter) rises, he calls him "Peter" and shortly after he does mention "Eric", the former employee. There is a line before Quinto rises where Baker says "what the f*** is his name", so perhaps an edited for television version put in the word Zach or a similarly sounding word.

Life as We Know It (2010)
Corrected entry: In the opening sequence, Katherine Heigel hands the baby to Josh Duhamel, calling him "Josh" when Duhamel's name is Eric Messer.
Correction: No she doesn't. She says "careful, Messer, I just got her."

Correction: Kirk restores the power before the ship goes below the clouds. They were using the thrusters to slow their descent well before they broke the cloud barrier.
