Idiocracy
You would get sued by FOX ‘News’ for copying their daily programming.
You couldn’t make Citizen Kane because flashbacks and other innovative filming techniques are now the norm.
Hackers: because no one rollerblades anymore.
To that bottom comment in the picture. You’d be amazed at how incompetent the TSA and other security staff can be at most airports.

They didn’t stop the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber either. There’s a term for what they are, “security theater”.

Arrival with Amy Adams because people would insist on using AI to translate the alien language.

You can’t make “The Princess Bride” nowadays because optimism and feel good emotions aren’t things that we’re allowed to have anymore.
You couldn’t make Toy Story today because NOBODY should be okay with how disturbing Sid’s face is.
On a side note, with all the remakes that are made nowadays, why has there not been a shot-for-shot remake of Toy Story using Pixar’s modern tech? Please, fix those terrifying lips. PLEASE
Scully and Mulder often had to clarify “they were in an area that did not get great cellphone coverage” thirty years ago, they were always getting separated in urban settings
Airplane!
Lots of reasons. Pick one.
You couldn’t make Soylent Green today because literally everybody already knows by now that it’s people
You couldn’t make the super Mario live action movie in 2024, because Bob Hoskins is dead
