Armageddon - It’s a fun ride, but don’t think about it too hard.

Indie fails to keep The Ark of the Covenant from falling into Nazi hands but that doesn't matter because it melts their faces off when they open it.

Highlander 2.

They don't come any bigger than that.

I'm pretty sure The Adventure of Baron Von Munchausen counts, in spades.

Frequency. The movie follows time travel issues very well until the VERY ending, which makes no sense at all. I wont spoil it here though. Awesome movie and a good plot otherwise.

Some really good movies that, unfortunately, hinge on pretty big plot holes

Inside Out: probably one of the greatest animated movies ever, but why didn't they just send the core memories back up the tubes? The best explanation I can think of is that Joy is a control freak and thinks she needs to deliver them herself.

Meet the Robinsons: not as popular as Inside Out but I personally consider it great. The time travel rules make no sense though. Lewis going back in time and startling his birth mother while she left him at the orphanage, implies the whole thing was a stable time loop and was always supposed to happen that way but somehow he was able to completely change what happened to Goob at the baseball game

Mr Crocket: as far as horror movies go, it's one of my favourites though it scared me too much to watch again. But the whole thing hinges on a big plot hole. Mr Crocket is in the habit of brutally murdering parents and taking their kids. Our hero is a mom trying to get her kid back from him. But why didn't he kill her when he took her kid? There is no explanation given for why he spared her.

Forrest Gump is an idiot but he somehow he becomes a millionaire?

I hope someone got fired for that blunder

Perfect Days: the toilet cleaner has a humble and fulfilling life but there's no way he can be happy with his low status job

Past Lives: Korean woman struggles when her childhood sweetheart shows up in America despite her having a new man; if she still loved her old flame she'd just ditch the new guy

The Master: Cult leader finds animalistic man interesting/arousing but they are not intellectual peers

Parasite: Poor family stumble upon a dark secret after ingratiating themselves with a rich family but the rich family should be too clever to fall for their scheme and are generally better than them

Casablanca: Humphrey Bogart is supposed to be in love but he lets her go for some reason

Brief Encounter: Married woman has emotional affair with a stranger on a train but doesn't act on her feelings for some reason

Rashomon: None of the characters can agree on what happened even though some events must have objectively happened

2001 Space Odyssey: Super intelligent AI is outsmarted by humans it is supposed to be more clever than

Alien: Perfect killing machine fails to kill everyone

Goodfellas: Gangster gets his commuppance despite the film establishing in the first half that he's a winner

The Exorcist: Ancient demon is supposed to be the ultimate evil but is defeated

Grave of the Fireflies: Child starves despite knowing they are eating mud balls instead of rice - they should have just eaten rice

Big Fish: Man reconciles with estranged father after falling out with him over tall tales by becoming immersed in more tall tales

I could go on but I think I've demonstrated my superior media literacy with the examples I've given already. Movie makers need to start portraying evil as winning, humans as uncomplicated and magic as not being real to improve their artform.
