I love love love Kingdom of heaven but the Muslims hated Baldwin IV, wheras in the movie it makes it as if Saladin and Baldwin were friends

King Kong- they one with Jessica Lange
you build a fortress to keep Kong out, but then you build a door big enough for a giant ape to walk through

Omg. I can't believe I never thought about the giant door in Kong. You correct sir. all they needed to do was build a normal door.

as much as I still love it, the terminator. There's a possible explanation, but it's not what the movie shows us. How can John Connor send his dad back to bone his mom if his existence is reliant on the fact that he DID send is dad back in time. It's a paradox. And the only explanation is that kyle reese is not his fater, and his mom got knocked up by some other guy right before reese arrived.
also, fry is his own grandfather in futurama. How could they miss that one?

Actually, Terminator resolves the paradox. T2 is the one with a paradox. See, in Terminator, John Connor send back Reese to bone his mom because that's what has always happened. You can't change the past. Reese always gets sent back, he always fails to destroy the Terminator, and he always fathers John Connor. Lather, rinse, repeat. It just always happens. Therefore, no paradox.
T2 causes a paradox because Judgment Day never happens, therefore the future doesn't happen, therfore Reese is never sent back in time by John connor, never impregnates his mom, John is never born, so no one is there to send back Reese to start the cycle.
However, my favorite historical innacuracy in a movie ever is in Braveheart that the Battle of Stirling Bridge doesn't have a bridge in it. Which is like having the invasion of Normandy with no beach landing.

Apocalypto had some historical inaccuracies.

I disagree, it's still a paradox. Like I said, the very fact that john connor has to send his dad back to create himself makes it impossible unless reese isn't his dad. The only other way it's possible is if reese would have been sent back despite the existence of connor in the first place.
Think about it in the present tense. You're alive, but you have to send back some guy in time to father yourself to make sure you still exist. Can't happen.

Or the Statue of Liberty not falling apart by then It IS made of metal.
Electricity but no cars, plastics but housing is literally in the stone ages and everyone is on horseback......
or better yet, if the humans are dumb how do they have clothes?
Sounds like someone paid WAYYYY too much attention to detail as opposed to simply enjoying the movie for what it was...A MOVIE.

For historical inaccuracies, Amadeus and Hurricane are the first that come to mind.
As far as plot holes, I'll go with Double Jeopardy (as far as my understanding of the law they were way off in the whole premise of that, but I could be wrong)

well, for what it's worth, they purposefully didn't try to make an accurate biography.

“From the start we (Milos and Shaffer) agreed on one thing: we were not making an objective Life of Wolfgang Mozart. This cannot be stressed too strongly. Obviously Amadeus on stage was never intended to be a documentary biography of the composer, and the film is even less of one.” – Peter Shaffer (playwright, Amadeus)

Invincible.
They forgot to mention that Papale was a college athlete, played in the WFL, and was invited to a private try-out with Vermeil.
