Coming to America: Lisa would Google Zamunda out of curiosity and discover Akeem's real identity.

The Sum Of All Fears: The government tried to get all the news outlets to cover up the attack in Denver. Today there would be pictures on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Millions of people would know before they could shut everything down.

I'm not really thinking political correctness. Just plotlines that wouldn't be feasible in a current setting.

Not that it works in the first place since the family has to be despicable for it to work, but Home Alone. A family as big and rich as the McCallisters would for sure have multiple channels save for the phone to communicate with him.

the Sandlot

Those kids wouldn't be allowed outside to play or they would be on the damn phone all the time. Squints would have been arrested and sent to prison for rape. S'mores are high sugar, and fattening, would have organic yogurt. Etc

Same could probably be said for Stand by Me, Explorers and whole lot of other movies like these.

"Overboard"

Even if the "wife" had forgiven him after recovering her memory, Kurt Russell's character would still have been charged for kidnapping or some other domestic charge by the state.

Star Wars. Spaceships would be self-driving, eliminating the need for Han and Chewy.
