Spinoff: major plot holes in movies you've noticed

Spinoff from the Harry potter thread...
In the Santa Claus and other Christmas movies, since the parents don't believe in Santa claus, how do they explain the presents Santa leaves under the tree for them every year?
The scene in batman begins where he is hanging from the monorail... the rope he hangs from magically swings through the posts supporting the monorail tracks.

In Jurassic Park, how does the Trex get into the museum without anybody noticing?

Zoolander.
No way he could stop that Mugatu throwing star with Magnum.

The Joker was either a precog, or there are tons and tons of plot holes in his planning. Let me list them:
1) How did he know the exact time that the buses were coming by, and why didn't the bus behind him call the cops immediately instead of ignoring him.
2) How did the Joker know exactly how long the mayor's eulogy would go on for in order to set the timer to allow them the opportunity to kill the mayor?
3) How did the Joker know which street that the helicopter would go down and exactly how low the helicopter would be flying so that they could shoot it down? Seems awfully lucky he was passing down that street at that exact same height. Did the Joker just happen to have hundreds of people waiting on top of buildings in a 15 block radius just in case the helicopter happened to show?
4) When the Joker planted the bomb on his subordinate, how did he know he wouldn't be right next to the guy or if he was far enough away that he wouldn't blow himself up as well?
5) How did the Joker get hundreds of gallons of fuel and explosives into a hospital within 6 hours? I don't think he could have planned that Harvey would have survived with burns and done this days in advance. And even if he did, how does someone in a hospital not run into the explosives in that time?
6) Same for the boat, but I think they could hide that a lot easier than they could in a hospital.
Everyone always mentions the fact that the Joker is still upstairs when Batman is falling to the ground as the plot hole, but it's feasible Joker just immediately leaves then. Those are the bigger plot holes in my mind.

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron is alive for about 7 days, kills no one, accomplishes nothing and no one knows who he is or why he's doing what he's doing other than the actual avengers. How it's his "age" is beyond me.
Iron Man 3 contains about 3 minutes of Iron Man, maybe that's why it got its name. In fact, Pepper Pots is the hero, and Iron Man isn't in the movie.
Man of Steel, a movie about the origins of Superman, the ultimate good guy all humanity should strive towards, has Superman watch his dad die, the Kent's are the worst parents ever, Lois Lane figures out his entire life and secret in a couple minutes, and he recklessly ruins people's lives for fun or immature spite.

The biggest plot hole from a movie I love that immediately comes to mind is Tom Hardy's "sometimes you have to dream bigger" line and BFG in Inception. If that's possible, what's the point of half the conflict in the movie? In a shoot out? Just conjur up AIDS or a nuke to take out the bad guys. Need to move a bomb from a hotel room to an elevator? No you don't, just go to the elevator and think up another bomb.

As to Cypher,
quote:
According to the Wachowskis, Neo interrupts Cypher writing a script (some kind of automated operator) that will enable him to enter and leave the Matrix without a human operator present.
WachowskiBros: Cypher, at the beginning of this scene, is setting up an automated system to allow him to go meet with Agent Smith.
As to how he got the jack into his head, we're left to assume that he simply reached behind himself.

In Independence Day, when they shoot down the alien ships, it's daylight all around the world.

Ocean's Eleven... how did they get the bags of fake money (hooker ads) in the vault?
Gravity... too many to list but mostly the whole movie is impossible because you can't just zip around to different orbits like that.
Interstellar... waaaaay too many to list. The entire movie is just plot holes on top of plot holes.
The Martian... a big one that really didn't bother me that much is the Martian atmosphere is not dense enough to create the violent dust storms with enough force to tip over the ship.

I recommend everyone in this thread check out the Cinemasins YouTube channel.

I assume someone mentioned Little Mermaid. Why didn't Ariel just write the guy a note that she was the person that saved his life? Even if she couldn't write, she could at least draw a damn picture or something.

In TMNT, when April calls Will Arnett's character, she is calling from a payphone in the sewer, but he answers the phone knowing it's her.
Not a "major" plot hole, but funny nonetheless.
