Charade (1963)
Plot hole: When Walter Matthau is interviewing Audrey Hepburn in his "office," she is looking at a picture. She identifies various faces in the picture. Matthau correctly identifies the person without knowing which face she was asking about. Other than her husband, he could not know which of the other three faces she was studying.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I believe Matthau/Dyle handed the pictures to Hepburn and knew the order in which he had put them, and therefore who was in each pic: first, second third.., as she went through them in order from the top.

My Darling Clementine (1946)
Factual error: The movie portrays Doc Holliday as a medical doctor when the townspeople expect him to operate on the wounded Chihuahua. Doc Holliday was not a MD, his title as "Doc" was for his DDS degree. He was a dentist.

Forbidden Planet (1956)
Factual error: The Doctor wonders how the creature can survive three billion electron volts. This is about 0.0000000006 joules. A baseball traveling a 2 miles per hour is one joule. It would take a lot more than three billion electron volts. It would take about 60 billion billion electron volts just to supply one joule. The energy hitting the monster was less than that supplied by running into a gnat.

Rio Bravo (1959)
Other mistake: The cell door inside the jail has the keyhole for the lock on the inside of the cell instead of facing outward. This is very convenient for the person locked inside, but not convenient for the sheriff.
