Movies that would have been completely different with cell phones?

[underpants]

First up "Silence of the Lambs"-If Scott Glenn (Agent Jack Crawford) could have caled agent Starling he could have told her that she WAS in the lair of Buffalo Bill. Of course that would have killed the whole ending.

Any else?

[Literate Tar Heel]

10. I'm not sure there would have been any reception

in either Castaway, Blair Witch, or Lord of the Flies (if you've seen 6 Days, 7 Nights, whatever it's called ... the one where Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are in a plane crash on a deserted island, she actually tries her cell phone but there aren't too many cell towers on uninhabited islands in the middle of the ocean)

[Richardo]

11. "Text-Message 'M' For Murder"

...just doesn't have the same cachet. ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

12. Rear View Window I guess

Jimmy Stewart calls for help on the cell when hes getting attacked, and he calls Grace Kelly to alert her.

[Lautremont]

13. The Blockhouse

The true story of some French POWs who get trapped by Allied bombing in a German officers' bomb shelter. Peter Sellers was in it. The movie takes place in almost complete darkness after they run out of candles. Anyway, they're trapped down there for six or seven years until some workmen stumble into the place by accident. Amazing story which might have been different had cell phones been around. Or, if the cell phones didn't work, just that much more frustrating.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. Gallipoli

They could have just phoned in the cancellation of the attack, rather than sending Mel Gibson as a runner who was too slow.

[Az_lefty]

15. All WWII Movies

Pvt Ryan, where are you? Get your ass back to the beach!

[JohnKleeb]

21. Titanic...

If they could only have called the ship that was so close....

[alarimer]

22. on a side note

How come nobody in the movies has CallerID? They never seem to know who is calling them. Everyone I know has CallerID. It just seems strange to me.

[leftofthedial]

25. rear window

26. "The Andromeda Strain"

They could have used some cell phones, rather than that stupid Telex.

[Unperson 309]

27. Mel Gibson's The Passion!

"Tweetle-tweetle-tweetle!"

"Uh... could someone answer that for Me... My hands are nailed down at the moment!"

Gone With The Wind -

"They aren't gonna lick me! Those Yankees aren't going to defeat me! I swear, when this is over, I'm going to come through this, They can't lick me or my kin or any of my folks. As God is my witness I'll nev- *tweetle-tweetle-tweetle!*"

Titanic -

Chief starts raising his hand, and then,
"tweetle-tweetle-tweetle", Chief's cell phone...
