The acting job by Eric Roberts in "the Other Side of Darkness" was unforgettable, but I thought the wife just waking up from the coma after all that was completely unbelievable.

In "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" those weren't their real voices.
In Napoleon Dynamite, when he's in the kitchen towards the beginning and the pile of nachos grows enormous between shots.
"Luke, you will go to the Dagobah system. There, you will find Yoda, the jedi master who instructed me."
star wars is full of 'em
I heard they screwed up the travel time to Bangkok in Hangover 2.
It takes 21 hours, not 16.
Idiots.
That totally compromises the entire story line!
EUROTRIP
Scott goes to Europe to see Mika because he thought she was a guy, got creeped out, and told "him" to stop emailing him. When he realized his mistake, he emailed her but she had blocked his email.
Instead of going all the way to Rome to find her, he could have just used a different email.

That was definitely on purpose, and hilarious to boot.

Most of the Rocky sequel movies. The entire premise of the original Rocky movie rested upon the fact that Rocky WASN'T an incredibly talented boxer. He was a nobody and he only beat the champ because the champ took the fight as a joke while Rocky took it seriously. Creed's arrogance, not Rocky's greatness, led to Rocky's victory.
The explanation for Rocky's early ability to defend the title was that things were set up so that Rocky would only be fighting flops. A bit of a shaky explanation given that everyone in a sport knows all of the top guns, but at least an explanation is attempted.
There is no conceivable reason that Rocky is able to defeat Mr. T or the Russian, who are both supposed to be legitimately great boxers. Unless something magical has happened, he's still just a club level boxer who got lucky and benefited from a few fights that were set up.
It's kind of like having a movie where some random 16 minute 5k guy races Lagat and beats him because Lagat thinks it's all a joke and doesn't run a step for a few months before the race and gives up a big lead early on thinking that he's just going to jog for a while and then win easy with a big kick. But then you make a sequel where the random 16 minute 5k guy somehow keeps beating the best in the world even when the competition is taking things seriously and giving the race their full effort.
Nope, you're wrong. The premise wasn't that Rocky had no talent. In fact, he was loaded with talent. He was just a bum who didn't take boxing seriously and didn't train hard. When Creed offered him the fight, Mickey begged to train him and helped Rocky maximize his talent, which was a lot.
in the 4th and 5th rocky movies, rocky's kid is like seven or something in the 4th then rocky goes off to train in russia for a few months, then beats the russian. in the fifth movie, in the span of several months, once rocky comes home after he's healed up a bit his kid has somehow grown up to be a fourteen year old teenager. and is into french teacher's with big boobs. after he had asked his dad before he left if he could play with him (or something like that).
Love It's a Wonderful Life - absolutely love it. One day a friend said to me "Clarence the Angel sure was dumb. Why in the hell didn't he just tell George it was Potter who stole his $8,000 instead of making him go through all of that 'what the world would be like if hadn't been born' stuff." I was crushed. Took me a year to get that out of my mind when I watched the movie. The plot hole is O.K., though. The message is worth it.
Casablanca. The whole plot made little sense, but the biggest issue is the Nazis were trying to capture escaped prisoner Victor Lazlo. He gets to Nazi controlled, but technically free Casablanca and they leave him alone, although the Nazis consider him to be the leader of the French resistance.
In spite of showing that the Nazis have complete control over the nominal French police and government, and aren't above arresting anyone for anything. They wont touch Lazlo.
In the National Lampoon's Vacation and European Vacation, Rusty is older than Audrey. In Christmas Vacation, it is reversed with Rusty being much younger than the previous two movies. Not sure how to explain that one.

Dude, I was thinking this EXACT thing yesterday. THE DUMBEST part is Doc wearing the bulletproof vest at the end. So let me get this straight -- he VOLUNTARILY risked putting himself and young Marty in the line of fire of a bunch of terrorists after KNOWING what would happen? DUMB DUMB DUMB
Actually no. For himself he took the precaution of the vest. But he wasn't putting Marty as risk because Marty had already appeared to him in the past. Since he'd seen the video he'd known exactly what to do so that Marty would indeed, again, be able to escape the terrorists and travel to the past. Since he had the vest (which no one but he himself knew) he would live.
As far as Marty's parents -- well Calvin Klein didn't come around until...what 20+ years later? Who would remember that? They might have recognized Berry's song (might) but there's no way that they would think about how the son looks. They'd have a lifetime of him growing up as a boy into what marty became. Memories of faces fade. They didn't have photos. No way in hell they'd notice that

In Commando Schwartzenegger goes on a huge killing spree with dozens of people shooting at him but they don't hit him once and some random tower blows up for no reason. What's up with that?
It's Best Movie Plot Holes, not Best Movie.

What if they had shot him in the head?

He had the video... he knows they didn't because it had already happened. Doiy.

How would that have accomplished anything? George was a broken man, the $8,000 was just the straw that broke the camels back, not the entire problem. George needed the view of the world without him to appreciate how wonderful a life he had had, not $8,000. Getting the money from all the people in the town that he meant so much to was the icing on the cake...
Though I do enjoy the Saturday Night Live(?) version where the towns people find out Potter has the money and they go down to his office in a mob and beat him. haha

Fair enough, but you have to realize that sometimes the slightest things can change what happens...a slight move by Doc and maybe he takes one in the skull.
On the subject of time-travel movies, I thought "Butterfly Effect" was fantastic! Creepy as hell though.
That's why I said the plot hole was worth it. The SNL version is hysterical. Maybe that's why Clarence kept his mouth shut in the movie!!!!
