The Lake House (2006)

Corrected entry: Kate asks Alex to rescue her copy of Jane Austen's 'Persuasion' from the train station bench. Alex tells Kate he will save it for her for when they meet. Then, in her apartment bedroom at 1620 Racine that she's sharing with boyfriend Morgan, Kate checks a loose floorboard to find that book hidden beneath; though the story makes clear that Alex has never been inside the apartment.

Correction: When I saw the scene in which Kate discovers the book under the floor, I immediately thought that Alex, at some point, went into the apartment building while it was still in the process of being built and furnished and hid the book there. He, as an architect and builder was able to pull it of and thus fulfill his promise of bringing her the book. He did it sometime after they broke up and before Kate moved in. I therefore believe this was not a plot hole but a clever idea that fits the movie perfectly.
