My husband has movie amnesia. He has no idea what he has or hasn't seen, and oh lord just forget asking him the title of anything, he's clueless. Most recently he recognized an actress from "Saving Sarah Silverman" and was so proud. Until I told him the movie is called Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Edit: I know there's a movie called Saving Silverman, an actress named Sara Silverman, a movie called Saving Private Ryan, etc but my husband does not claim to know any of them, yet somehow mushed them together in his mind to create his own film.
Edit 2: he's actually incredibly intelligent, which makes this one flaw so funny to me. He also cannot recall names of actors or recognize them from other films, nor can he explain a plot line to save his life. If he was being held at gunpoint and you told him to describe a movie he'd JUST watched, he'd prob be shot.

I told a joke and my girlfriend did the playful hit thing. When I asked why she hit me she replied with she was upset I was making fun of her. I was not. She just didn't get the joke. I then inquired as to how often I said things and she didn't get, but laughed because everyone else did. She said "About 50% of the time.".
