Dark Star (1974)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Dan O'Bannon, Brian Narelle, Cal Kuniholm, Dre Pahich
Factual error: In the scene right after pinback shoots the beach-ball alien, we see the Dark Star space craft cruising past a planet with a sun in the background. You can see a reflection on the planet which is coming from the space craft. I'm sorry, but usually ships in space are not large enough to reflect off a planet, especially to the degree this one does. (00:48:20)

Correction: He didn't say he travelled 14 light years from Earth. We have no idea where his starting point was - it could have been anywhere in the Universe.
