I noticed this around 2015 as a mini-sperg forced to watch The Minions with my at the time five year old niece, which had I Will Survive and Yellow Submarine in its sountrack, despite the movie taking place in 1970 or thereabouts meaning the former song wouldn't be released for ten years and the latter song was already a few years old. Plus, there was a lot of color TV, which wouldn't have been as common, especially not in the UK where people were making the switch as late as the eighties.

It got me wondering what the worst case of anachronism in a film was. Other than 1 Million Years, B.C., which is just a trainwreck. If you've seen a movie where it took every ounce of willpower to not shout "but that's not right!" then let us all know so we can gawk at it.

Now that you mention it, Meet the Spartans is not really an accurate depiction of Spartan life around the Greco-Persian Wars when you think about it.
 
What ruined Minions for me is that Minions aren't even real! I expect nothing less than complete scientific and historical accuracy from my movie about farting yellow turds aimed at 3 year olds.
 
That 'different' Minion wearing those starfish for a brassiere and the little things acting like the T-Rex's Pikmin.
 
PORN-OG-RAPHY!

There was a spy thriller-type movie with Helen Mirren that had flashbacks to the 1960s... what was it... [checks her filmography on Wikipedia]... oh yeah, The Debt (2010) that had early 1980s Ford LTD Crown Victorias in 1965. I generally allow for a three-to-five-year fudge factor for model years in movies where I don't think the average person would notice anything amiss with, say, a 1963 Impala in a film set in 1961, but a 1980s car in the mid-1960s was glaringly out of place.

A more obvious anachronism example is how The Goldbergs has everything from the 1980s happen in seemingly the same year, "Nineteen Eighty-Something", but I think that's part of the joke.
 
The Land Before Time had music made with instruments that didn't exist 65 million years ago. Really broke the film's immersion for me.

is having a period-incorrect soundtrack really the worst thing about the minion movie?

I thankfully wouldn't know, because I've yet to suffer through it.

I remember when I watched the fighting scenes from TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze in slow-mo so I could better learn the Turtles fighting style, and painfully realized that nobody was actually getting hit.

I felt like I had been lied to.
 
Would The Mighty Mighty Bosstones playing in "Clueless" count?
Especially as Cracked writers called the lead singer a drunken rapist.
 
All Dogs Go To Heaven.
The very name is a lie because the main character has a nightmarish vision of hell.
