You couldn't make Blazing Saddles these days because the kids wouldn't know why Howard Johnson, who's best known these days as a hotel chain, would be talking about protecting his ice cream stand.

I'm pretty old and I don't think I get that joke, either.

You couldn't make 8 heads in a duffle bag today, because people would be like "what the fuck? This is just 8 heads in a duffle bag. Did I just pay to buy a decades old movie?"

Golfinger. I watched it for the first time couple years ago. I couldn't believe the misogyny. It was disturbing.

You couldn't make Citizen Kane because flashbacks and other innovative filming techniques are now the norm.

Milo and Oatis - because you can't murder animals for movies anymore.

That's slightly political.

You couldn't make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because Macaulay Culkin is an adult now and nobody wants to see a grown man playing a young child.

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
