Corrected entry: There is a scene in which Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio are aboard a plane at LaGuardia Airport. This particular scene takes place in 1969, and at one point there is a shot of the New York City skyline with the Twin Towers intact. However, the towers were not completed until 1973.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene at the French prison in 1969, Carl uses a pop-up mini-umbrella. This type of umbrella wasn't available until the late 70s. Until then, all umbrellas were of the two-hand, slide-up variety.
Correction: Sure looked like a regular long black push-up type when I double-checked it.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Corrected entry: When DiCaprio is in the hotel room with Jennifer Garner, they agree on $700 for her to stay the night. He goes through his checks and finds one for $1100 and then says he will have to go get it cashed. Why? He flips past one for $700 and this is not the kind of situation you want to leave in the middle of.
Correction: He was tricking Jennifer Garner. He gets her to pay him $400 for his fake check. He made a profit on the transaction. They agree on $1000, not $700.

There's Something About Mary (1998)
Corrected entry: In the infamous bathroom scene during the zipper problem. We see Ben Stiller in one shot with his Tux jacket on trying to get the zipper open, next a closer shot and no jacket, back to previous shot and he's wearing the jacket. Again to the closer shot and no jacket.
Correction: Jacket's not on...it's laying behind Ted to his right.

There's Something About Mary (1998)
Corrected entry: When Tucker, the guy with the crutches, enters Mary's apartment, he gives the old woman who lives with Mary a bottle of liquor. He was not holding it when he came in.
Correction: Yes he was, it's very in his left hand from the second the door opens with a 'J&B' label on it.

The Sixth Sense (1999)
Corrected entry: When Vincent shoots himself in the bathroom, you hear the splatter, but you can still see part of the bathroom door, and no blood is visible. (00:10:10)
Correction: I checked it frame-by-frame, the camera pans away from the bathroom, a gunshot is heard, and we never see the bathroom again.

Poltergeist (1982)
Corrected entry: My Spanish is a little shaky, but doesn't "Cuesta Verde" mean "it costs green"? Don't think I'd want to buy a house in a development that brags about it's priciness like that.
Correction: Actually, I speak no spanish at all, but according to freetranslation.com, it means "Green Slope"

Correction: After going over it several times, all I see is The Empire State Building. It was either filmed after the tragedy, or they were removed during editing.
