14 Movies That'd Make No Sense If They Happened Today

The hope is that all movies will stand the test of time.
Any director wants their movie to be "timeless." Well, that's too bad because they can't all be.
Some movies have aged horribly and actually make no sense when they're scrutinized in the harsh reality of 2016.
But we can't be children forever, so here we go.
1. Psycho took place in the ratty Bates Motel where a crazy person takes a knife and goes into showers when people are already in there.
But Marion just had to use TripAdvisor on her iPhone to see she should avoid that place.
2. The Ring is about a haunted video tape that if you watch it, your life is in for a bad time.
But now we all illegally download our movies or just submit to Netflix movies, so it wouldn't make sense.
3. Home Alone would make NO SENSE considering kids are privileged little monsters.
None of this would happen.
4. Back to the Future 2 gave us the MAGICAL world of 2015 with self-tying laces and flying cars like from The Jetsons.
Guess which one we have...
5. American Pie has a whole plot point where Nadia undresses and finds Jim's secret nudie magazine stash.
But that'd be impossible because no one reads magazines anymore.
6. The Fugitive would be over quick.
If Harrison Ford just put out an ad on Craigslist saying "Single male seeking white one-armed psychopath." it would be easy as pie to catch the real killer.
7. Men In Black wouldn't make sense.
The second that anyone saw guys in suits with black sunglasses indoors, people would be putting them on blast on Twitter.
8. Any James Bond movie would not work today.
Tabloids would be calling out the British spy who's constantly telling his name, posting his exploits on Tinder, blowing up stuff, and causing international incidents.
9. Scream would make no sense because caller ID would make it easy to track down that masked villain.
10. The Notebook would be totally different.
Ryan Gosling would just be Facebook messaging Rachel McAdam's character when he got Wi-Fi instead of the letters he sent going nowhere.
11. Die Hard would be over in five minutes.
Poor old John McClane would just call the cops, and they'd show up and arrest Hans Gruber in quick time.
12. Babe would become an internet fad. Instead of herding sheep, he'd be hocking jewelry on late-night TV commercials.
13. Chuckie would have been returned back to Taiwan and replaced as defective.
14. Twilight wouldn't exist because people would realize that the vampires have been around forever and make those yearbook pictures go viral.
Those glittery freaks would be done in no time.
