Do you look for mistakes and plot holes in movies?

I don`t unless its really big mistakes and plot holes i really don`t take much notice to it.

I don't actively look for them, but sometimes I notice them.

👆 No, it's very rare I notice them.

Not really, but I do tend to notice them a lot. I watched the horribly unfunny Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon last night, and it was so obviously riddled with them, it's hard not to notice.

If a movie bores me, I notice the background more, and that's often where mistakes are found. If I LIKE a movie, I watch it over and over until I've got it memorized, and after 20 or so viewings, I do notice the mistakes. I've also found that watching a film on disc with the commentary on changes my focus from the film's words to the film's images, so I am more tuned to notice the background.

Plot holes, I don't worry about. It's continuity errors that draw my attention. Most of them don't detract from the film - such as the same Ford truck appearing in the same scene in three different positions in 'Mad Max: Fury Road' - so spotting the errors is more just a hobby.

Actively? No, not at all.

There seems to be a lot of people on the 4ct boards whose main goal while watching films is to look for goofs and plot holes above all else. I don't get it.

No, not really, they are films at all. But if it's too obvious or lazy storytelling, it can bother me.

No and I despise the people who do.

Sometimes I watch actors' positions (e.g. their stances, if they have their arms folded, etc.), or that of surrounding objects/props, and see if they change after cutaways. Sometimes they do.

Saw one the other day watching Miller's Crossing (which I turned off after 30 minutes). Marcia Gay Harden pushes Gabriel Byrne into a cart and its contents fall on the ground, then from a different angle the position of the fallen items is different.
