Movies With Wired Phones Used in Necessary Scenes

Breumaster
In threatening situations, we grab our mobile or cell phone and call the police. Before there were mobiles and cell phones, wired phones had no affordable alternative. In many movies of the 1980s, first mobiles appeared on screen but here we head for movies with wired phones or phone booths in a necessary function.

Which of these movies has the most interesting telephone scenes?

Call us here.
