Well, there?s the fact that the only thing Harry Potter and his friends ever use the Time-Turner for is get to classes on time, save a Hippogriff, and release Harry?s godfather. They could?ve saved all those people being killed, and more importantly, killed Voldemort before he even became a threat. But no, it just came and went in the third book, and then in the subsequent books, everyone ? even Dumbledore ? acted as if it never even existed.
And in the first
Superman film, Superman travelling back in time just enough to save Lois Lane, but not stop those missiles or whatever from firing, or save that town of people being killed.

Not so much a "plot hole" as an extremely aggravating story element that has irritated me for years. The Sixth Sense, often described as Shyamalan's only "good" movie. Balls to that, I say, it's terrible too.
So you're a little girl.
You have a step mother. Your step mother doesn't like you. You're aware of this.
You begin to grow suspicious that your step mother is slowly poisoning you. "Keeping you sick", in your father's parlance. She's putting it in your food.
Despite your young age, you have the foresight and wherewithal to hide a video camera that catches your step mother in the act of poisoning your food. Utterly damning evidence.
Once in possession of said evidence, you continue eating the poisoned food until you die, at which point your ghost beseeches some tow headed little kid to help you expose your stepmother.
It's cool though. There was a twist ending to distract you from how nonsensical and leaden-paced the film was.
I always thought that she was initially recording her puppet shows (keeping it secret from her family for whatever reason, maybe out of embarrassment or something), but she only learned of her stepmother poisoning her food until
after she died, in which case, she gave the evidence to that kid, realizing that it could help her to pass on if her father knew what her stepmother had done to her.
But a plothole in
The Sixth Sense that bothered me was how Bruce Willis? character somehow didn?t realize he was dead the entire time. I mean, seriously, he?s been dead for, what, a month? Two months? And he doesn?t think anything of the fact that
no-one but a strange boy with psychological issues has spoken to him since then?
How would he even manage his life like that, if he was somehow just floating through day-to-day without ever having to converse with another human being? And, plus, how did he get to talk to this boy in the first place? He?s dead?he can?t just suddenly be assigned this patient, without any parental permission. Did the boy contact him first? Or did he just turn up, assume that he had some problems, and say, ?I?m going to help you?? Is this how he conducts
all his meetings with his child patients? Doesn?t that sound a bit dodgy?
