There are several web pages one could link to that include lists of Bad
Science in the movies. Notably Phil Plaits Bad Astronomy site (sorry,
forget the URL, but his "bad astronomy" in any search engine and you'll
get it) and http://www.intuitor.com (I think that's it - it's called
Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics).

Don't underestimate the power of the silver screen to educate or
miseducate. I promise you: every elementary school kid will happily tell
you that sea turtles can live to be 150.

can be bought so cheaply, this country is in deeper trouble than I
thought.'
In a related story, this country is in deeper trouble than Scalia
thought."
