The Virgin Suicides

• Movie Goof (errors in geography): When the boys are talking about traveling with the girls to the Far East, the narrator says that Cecilia hasn't died but is instead now a bride in Calcutta. However, the picture shown of Cecilia in traditional Indian wedding attire is in front of the Taj Mahal, which is located in Agra. Calcutta is in Eastern India, and Agra is in northern India.
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mr. Lisbon is telling the girls the names of the boys who will be taking them to the dance, he refers to one boy as "Jake Connelly" when later on the same boy is referred to as Joe Hill Connelly (which is the name of the character in the novel). This could be an error on the part of the character (and not the actor's error or a script error).
• Movie Goof (factual errors): In the scenes in Mr. Lisbon's classroom there is a banner above the chalkboard that displays an incorrect value of pi.
• Kim Basinger was originally offered the role of Sara Lisbon, but after the success of L.A. Confidential she became very expensive. Alyssa Milano was also considered for the role of Sara Lisbon, but dropped out from the project due to scheduling conflicts from Charmed.
