Scenes in movies that just don't happen anymore.

I can't remember the last time I saw a bar room scene with people shooting pool in a movie. Or a music montage in comedies, my favorite example of such would be in Empire Records.

This could work in a modern film. Cell phone battery dies, frantic search for a payphone only to realise they barely exist anymore and the ones that do either don't work or swallow all your money because no one has used them in so long it doesn't have any change in it.

More a sitcom thing, but urging people to not be loud, so as to not cause a souffle to collapse from the noise.

A while back I watched some older movie which had a scene where the main character was traveling on a commercial plane, and the (not related to the plot) person sitting behind him was smoking during the flight.

That still happens in movies all the time. Off the top of my head, it happened in This is the End.

Something they've kind of stopped doing is having a character light a cigarette only to instantly get a short lecture about smoking or being told to put it out. I swear, this happened in movies all the damn time, I even saw it again today in a movie from 2001 (Kill Me Later). Thankfully, this doesn't seem to happen very often in newer movies.

Scenes taking place in video arcades, or arcade games in general.
