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.

Almost Famous (2000)
Corrected entry: When Russell Hammond goes to William's house he spots a professional photo of William and his sister Anita. The photo shows William as a 15 year old with his sister. But Anita has been away working as a stewardess, and has not seen William since he was 11 - who was played by a younger and different actor in those scenes.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: There is only one T Rex on the island - in one scene she is near the volcano while they are escaping, and in the next scene she has been captured and is on the boat.
Correction: That is the same T-rex. After she kills the Carnotaurus she is shown walking off, and when Owen, Claire and Franklin see the helicopters with her in a cage she was just tranquilized offscreen.
Correction: It is never stated that there is only one T-Rex on the island. The veteran rex seen in the previous films was captured and removed from the island. There is at least one more left on the island. Also, I just saw the film again, and shortly after the scene where the T. Rex is with the fleeing animals, a sedated T. Rex can be seen in the background being loaded onto the ship by helicopter. This could be the veteran T. Rex we've seen in the previous movies that was captured as the mercenaries were preparing to evacuate.

Lost in Space (2018)
Danger, Will Robinson - S1-E10
Plot hole: At the end, when Maureen is searching for John in orbit, she only radios him after Will sees him clinging to the floating wreckage. Before that, she only used sensors aboard Jupiter to try and locate him. She makes no attempt at radio contact for any survivors, which would have quickened the rescue. John can also radio her back, but he did not attempt to call for help.

Suggested correction: The suit radios are fairly short range. This is seen on a number of occasions, such as when they need an extension antenna when stuck in the tar to contact others. The distances in space between the damaged Jupiter and Jupiter 2 are huge, and much further than the distance from the chariot stuck in tar back to Jupiter 2.

Flightplan (2005)
Corrected entry: When Carson searches for Kyle, he explains that he stuffed Julia in the food cart, took her down to avionics, and put her in the nose of the plane. That would not have been possible. Firstly, food carts are not strong enough to hold the weight of a child. Secondly, the nose of a plane is far too cramped with all kinds of equipment for a child to fit into.
Correction: This is a fictional plane, one that Kyle helped design, so there's no way to say whether or not the nose of the plane is too cramped. Also, we don't know what kind of food carts is being used. Since this is a fictional story, the airline could be using a fictional brand that is strong enough to hold a child's weight.
Even the cart could hold Julia's weight, Carson would have had to hope that part of Julia's body didn't fall out of the cart while he was moving it.

Vertigo (1958)
Continuity mistake: In the scene In the McKittrick hotel, the manager tells Scotty Madeleine often stops by but hadn't been by today. Incredulous, he insists on seeing her room but finds that she has disappeared. One shot shows her door left open and another shows it closed.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: A couple things. Scotty tells the manager to go look in the room while he waits downstairs. She goes up, then calls down to him and asks if he wants to see the room. As they walk down the hall, the door to Madeleine's room is closed. The manager opens it, and she and Scotty go inside. The door was always closed until they went in. The lighting on the door in the first shot of it makes it appear much lighter in color, giving the impression that it was open and the interior is being seen, but it is closed.

Vertigo (1958)
Corrected entry: When Mr. Elster is telling Scottie that his wife's car showed she drove 94 miles on the speedometer, he should have said odometer.
