Die Hard's entire plot wouldn't make any sense now that cell phones exist. It's just that back in 1990 when they cut the phone lines in the building, none of those hostages had a cell phone in their pocket.
Yeah I've found myself watching an older movie and commenting that now they would just call someone... course with the Goonies.... no signal in the tunnels... and chunk would have to have dropped and broken his phone when he ran for help.. that one still gets away with it.
