Minority Report (2002)
Continuity mistake: When the cheated husband says "I forgot my glasses", the lover is on top of the wife, and tries to sneak by bouncing way up and then turning to his left. The jump is cut and the angle changes to a close up of the lover, but this time he is right next to the wife, as if he had just moved aside. No bounce. You'll need to freeze the image to notice it.
Suggested correction: If you have to freeze frame, or use slo-mo, to see a mistake, it's not a valid entry.
