Movies that couldn't be made today
Whether it's because of a different social climate, extreme violence, or a shock factor that wouldn't fly by studioheads-what are some films made in the 70, 80s, or earlier that would likely not be made in 2016. What aspect of the film makes it a product of it's time, and what groups would it offend to ensure of arrived DOA at a committee?

In this day and age, the plots of the first two Home Alone films wouldn't be possible due to advanced technology. They would probably only last about 15-20 minutes because of cell phones. Once Kevin's parents found out that he had been left alone, all they had to do was call him on one after they landed in Paris. Plus nowadays, people can use the alarms on their phones to wake them up in time. While a phone can't recharge without electricity, it's internal battery wouldn't be affected by a power outage.
And in Home Alone 2, I don't think anyone would let a kid with no boarding pass and without a parent/guardian on a flight. And now that I think of it, even after Kevin pointed out the man he thought was his father to the attendant, it was still a bad move on their part to let him on. Even before 9/11, the attendant would have gone up to the man and asked him if he was Kevin's father.

Home Alone is great, but so true. 👆
