I clicked on all the links. Pretty much all of those movies could still work with wired technology. Even the one called cellular, in which a woman is trapped in an attic with a broken landline phone and manages to connect wires and dial a random number.

Yes I'm nitpicking. I guess I'm glad we have Wi-Fi and all, but don't try to sell me on it as a crucial plot device

And what about all the movie plots ruined by the existence of cell phones?
