Inaccuracies In Movie Storytelling

Only mildly related to books, but I had a blast reading these two links:

Top 10 Scientifically Inaccurate Movies
Top 10 Historically Inaccurate Movies

Some of the books that were made into movies that made these lists are: Jurassic Park, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Starship Troopers, Memoirs Of A Geisha, 300 (in this case, the source was a graphic novel, which in turn took for its source The Battle Of Thermopylae as detailed by Herodotus), and Total Recall (in this case, the source was a short novelette, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale", by Philip K. Dick, and then the movie was turned into a novel by Piers Anthony).
