You couldn't make Taxi Driver today, because Travis would have already died by suicide in a school shooting before reaching adulthood and getting a job. Plus watching Travis's nihilism growing not out narcissistic disgust with the seedy underbelly of New York, but out of love for the seedy underbelly of 4chan, wouldn't really have the same kick to it.
Also it would be Uber Driver, which sounds dumb for a movie name.

You couldn't make a sequel to The Matrix because it shouldn't be made.

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
Also because the kids aren't glued to their phones or electronics and have actual toys. I'M OLD
Modern Toy Story, but instead of cowboys, dinosaurs and spacemen, its Skabati toilet and all that other ridiculous shit.

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.
I don't know if this is still accurate, but the TSA failed their surprise tests over 90% of the time.
They didn't stop the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber either. There's a term for what they are, "security theater". They make it look like they're doing something to protect you, when really all their doing is stealing whatever they can get away with stealing and fingering people's buttholes as often as possible.
Also, the TSA (or other country equivalent) is usually at the boundary between public areas and the boarding/departure area, each plane has airline employees making sure that each passenger that boards the plane has a valid ticket for the flight.
The TSA has little to do with what plane you actually board.

Collateral with Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise because instead of hiring a taxi for the whole night it be easier to call a fresh Uber after each kill.
Arrival with Amy Adams because people would insist on using AI to translate the alien language.
Blow with Johnny Depp because of fentanyl ruining the ability to just snort a line of whatever whenever.
Arrival with Amy Adams because people would insist on using AI to translate the alien language.
It would end up like Mars Attacks where the translator thinks they're peaceful
Really any movie that involves legacy telephones.
- Phone Booth: The whole movie
- Scream: "The call is coming from inside the house"
- The Matrix: "Pick up the phone!"
- Etc, etc.
The Matrix could still sort of work as a period piece, since they explicitly said that the simulation being set in the late 90s was an intentional choice by the machines.
That's a good point. It is a simulation as others mentioned. I was thinking more from the aspect that it's completely unrelatable to gen-z and alpha as they've never used a traditional phone. It's like an 8-track player for millennials.
Gen Z's are well aware of traditional phones. Smartphones were not really that ubiquitous (up until 2010(ish)), and by that time Gen Alphas were already born.
The Matrix would still work because it's supposed to be a reconstruction of the world of the 1990s from the future.
Matrix today, put on the headset!
Scream: “The call is coming from inside the house”
i can't even
