Stole this answer from Reddit....
quote:

Primarily The Santa Clause films, but many other Xmas movies are guilty of this as well: When the premise involves adults going "Haha, Santa's not real," do they not remember WHICH PRESENTS THEY GOT THEIR DAMN KIDS??? Do they just watch the kids open up all these zany gifts on Xmas morning and go "Huh, I don't remember buying THE VAST MAJORITY of this shite, but whatever, I'm sure I did. frick Santa."

Batman jumps out the window to save maggie gillenahall(thats who she played. she was not Rachael Dawes) and leaves the joker in a room full of innocent victims. Nothing ever happens to those people and apparently the joker just leaves peacefully and batman never goes after him.

I have always thought of that

It really just makes no sense, literally every Christmas movie does it.

Not a plot hole, but something that always jumps out at me - In Star Trek Generations, when the bad guys fires a rocket at the sun, everyone stands there and watches it hit the star as if its hanging a couple hundred feet off the ground.

Superman 2: he flies to the fortress of solitude with Lois Lane and gets rid of his powers. HOW THE frick DO THEY GET BACK? It's in the North Pole. They also show a normal human Clark walking back to the north pole later in the movie. Stupid.

Battle Los Angeles is one gigantic plot hole. also War of the Worlds, why the frick did martians put this shite in the planet just to kill us all when they could've just stayed there to begin with? and how'd they not pick up on the water thing?

also, i liked the new star trek but it bugged me that everyone just let kirk piss off spock until he attacked him but then spock was the arse hole and resigned his commission or w/e. and then in the end when spock fricks up the drill, why the hell didn't they just blow up the drill in the first place? boom, movie done in like 25 min

but what really bugs me is if the dude when back in time why did he just chill for 25 years to kill everyone instead of warning everyone there was gonna be a supernova in like 130 years

My gf and I love making fun of the Santa clause. Easily one of the easiest movies to pick apart. Ridiculous, annoying characters and huge lapses in reason and common sense. I know it's a kids movie but its so much fun to make fun of

I think the genre of alien movies is the largest plot hole ever

You have to think. If a race is capable of reaching out planet, their technology must be obscenely far ahead of ours. They would absolutely pulverize us if there were any conflict. If they're capable of intergalactic travel, just imagine their weapons. We cant even put a man on mars

There's also the issue of whether or not they'd even think about letting us live. If they were that more intelligent than us, then what would be the point of letting us live? It would be the equivalent of us digging up an earthworm

TDKR

John Blake somehow knows Selina Kyle kidnapped the congressman and for some reason was looking for her even though, as far as he is concerned, has nothing to do with shite. Also, he seems to just assume

1. She knows Bruce Wayne and knows
2. That Bruce Wayne is batman

One thing I didn't get about The Crazies.

When they go back to their house to get his police car, they find the wife and son of the dude he killed at the beginning all transformed to Crazies. The wife stabs his hand to the floor. He picks it up, and jams the blade (with his hand attached) into her neck. I would think that at this point her Crazy blood would have gotten into his blood stream to infect him, but he never turned into a Crazy in the remainder of the movie.

I've always thought about the Santa one with Christmas movies. It's actually one of the reasons I thought Santa had to be real when I was little

Not really a plot hole, but it annoys be to no end how terrible bad guys always shoot in movies. If I had an automatic weapon, I could easily kill all the good guys, especially considering all the chances they get.

Worse than that is how guys in movies never put a bullet in the chamber until they're face-to-face with the bad guy. The sound of them cocking/loading the gun may be a great sound effect for all the people who've never shot a gun, but for me it's just annoying and unrealistic. Particularly with pump shotguns. I mean, if you don't have a shell in the chamber until you start the gunfight, you only get 3 shots instead of 4 (or 2 shots instead of 3, whatever).

I'm sure it's been said, but Jurassic Park:

T-Rex, who makes the earth shake when he walks, is able to sneak inside a building without anyone noticing.

Most of these movies/genres I am a fan of, but some of the crap that irks me.....

Zombie movies/shows: Since zombies are all soulless creatures who chew live flesh ravenously, how are so many thousands of people only bitten once, get away, only to become zombies themselves? Shouldn't 90%+ of the victims of zombie attacks be ripped apart and devoured, not returning as zombies?

SAW: how does the Jigsaw not freaking breath during the whole movie as he lays on the ground?

Unbreakable: Main character possess super human strength and stamina. Despite being a collegiate football player, he doesn't realize this until his mid 40s. His team must have never maxed out or he must have never touched the ball.......

Kingdom of Heaven: I know this a touchy subject, but this movie was full of them. 1)A blacksmith gets 1 sword lesson in the woods from his estranged dad, and becomes the baddest arse fighter in the movie. 2) Ship wrecks on the way to the Holy Land, only the lead actor and his horse survives, unscratched. 3) Orlando Bloom goes from peasant blacksmith to an awesome military leader and strategist without any explanation. Havent seen it in a while, but I am remember them being more.

Independence Day: Why didnt the Aliens question that a solo ship was returning without its massive squadron or mother-ship, and do they not recognize that this particular ship disappeared from the fleet 50 years prior?

Oceans 11: why in the hell would Terry Benedict keep important info in his coat pocket? And why is he dealing with a simple dealer bust by himself?

Cowboys and Aliens: WTF does an advance civilization need gold for? Even Harrison Ford's character said "what are they going to do, buy something from us?"

Transformers: giant freeking robots fist fight and laser fight, knocking over buildings and pyramids, but only a handful people are actually killed......

Any movie with Sarah Jessica Parker that pretends she's pretty.

Not a plot whole really but I always wondered why parents kept sending their kids back to hawgwartz. Seems after the first few years with harry there they´d get the point. Also in year like 6 and 7 why does everyone start calling harry a liar. It had been pretty well documented by that point in time that he had saved the school and possibly the human race time and time again.

The falling van in Inception bothered the shite out of me. They basically built the concept that them floating in reality (I'm going to call it level 0) would result in zero gravity in the first dream "level 1." However, it doesn't translate to the next level.

The elaborate physics correlation they built was inherently flawed for their story.

I don't know if its a plot hole but i hate how inconsistent Wolverines senses are. Sometimes he can smell and hear anything and then other scenes he'll get snuck up on. Esp in his movie where he didn't smell his girlfriend whom he thought was dead.

Same can be said for Thor. He can go toe to toe with Hulk and yet struggle to put away iron man or Capt America.
