1. The Ten Commandments

Nefertiti Anne Baxter played in this Hollywood epic has become iconic, and her aqua-blue silk dress is a big part of it. However, during the time the film was set, there in ancient Egypt was no known natural dye that can produce that particular shade of blue.

In a scene, Jack tells Rose that he has used to go ice-fishing at Wissota Lake with his father. However, if you look up at a map, you can see that the lake was formed in 1917. The sinking of Titanic happened in 1912, so maybe Jack is a time traveler.
