Just curious: what movies do you remember seeing on a plane?
I think I've only seen one, and I've been on many flights in my lifetime: Happy Gilmore.  Didn't care for it.

Snakes On A Plane, believe it or not.  :buggedout: :buggedout: :wink:

Three Amigos  :bluesad:

I don't fly much.

Pure Country and The Bodyguard are a couple I remember. 

National Treasure and um...something with Adam Sandler in it.  :thumbdown:  I think it was Spanglish.

Just a random side note.  I saw a safety video once with a guy in it who I swear was Bruce Campbell.  I looked up and down the internet but there is no documentation of him doing on.

That just gave me the worst idea. What if Evil Dead was remade...ON A PLANE. :buggedout:

I have only been on a plane once, and it was a short trip on a cheap airline so no movies for our flight.

I've been to Europe a couple times and those are the only times there have been movies available to watch.  Some of the ones I remember:

Envy - terrible Ben Stiller/Jack Black/Christopher Walken movie
The Big Bounce - Morgan Freeman/Owen Wilson, also not good
My Cousin Vinny - classic.  Ralph Macchio is 49 now....
Lawrence of Arabia - this is a fantastic movie for chewing up long flights, for the same reason it's a great Sunday afternoon movie.  You can put it on, doze off now and then, and it doesn't matter.  It will be good when you're watching but it's not so riveting that you can't fall asleep.
The Third Man - great old movie.  Orson Welles/Joseph Cotten.  Zither music.  Fantastic film.

Also, I once took a flight and only had my laptop available for entertainment, and only had the first couple episodes of LOST to watch.  Probably not the best choice for in-flight viewing.   :bouncegiggle:

I've seen quite a few . . . but most of them I had already seen in the theater or on tape or DVD.  I can't remember most of them (I think I watched about 4 movies on my way to China a few years ago and probably 3 or 4 more on my way home . . . damned if I can remember what any of them were).  Here are a few I can think of, but this list is not nearly complete:

* THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE
* RV
* TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
* THE INTERPRETER
* THE RUNDOWN
* MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III

I actually can't remember much of what I've seen in-flight. The last movie I remember is The Prestige.

I did read Stephen King's The Langoliers on a flight once.  :bouncegiggle:

Funny!  How fitting!  :bouncegiggle:
Actually Final Destination or maybe Airplane would be good too.

That's nothing. I flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg in 2006 ~ shortly after I'd seen SOAP ~ and Samuel L Jackson was on the plane, along with Kimberley Elise, Alfre Woodard and my man Carlos Santana.  :thumbup:

I have seen a few the last one I can remember though was Big Mommas House 2.

I saw Girl Interrupted on a plane and it was early into a 9 hour flight and I was on my own.

I remember not loving this film, but at one point I accidentally laughed out loud at something really inappropriate and the couple who were next to me who was also watching it, looked at me horrified.

Lets just say we didn't chat much after that. Oh well their loss.

I can't recall ever being on a flight that showed a movie I'd be interested in seeing, but sometimes I've been bored enough to watch it anyway.  A lot of my least favorite movies ever I only watched because I was on a plane.

MUST LIKE DOGS (ouch!)
That one with Ed O'Neill where he coaches the pee-wee football league, terrible
The CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY remake

Probably some others that were totally forgettable...

Oh, yeah.  Another one is WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING.

The Postman  :bluesad:

I've never been on a flight with in-flight movies.  :bluesad:

Yeah, now there's a depressing movie and a half.  Eesh.

Things I remember seeing on a plane:

- The Armour of God - Jackie Chan movie, and appropriately enough on a trip to Hong Kong in about 1988 or so.  I had already seen in fives times, but to see it in a plane was great.

- Masquerade - at least, I think it was.  Kim Cattrall movie in which she appears bare breasted on a bed, this time on a boat, surprise surprise.

- Mission to Mars - what a waste of a movie.  Remake of 2001, only on Mars.  Duh.

- Georgia Rule - Lindsay Lohan movie in which she plays a messed up slut.  Whoa, what a stretch.

- Anvil: The Story of Anvil - fantastic rockmentary about an 80's heavy metal band that never made it big like Poison or Motley Crue.  I highly recommend this one.

- Salt - not the Angelina Jolie movie, but another documentary, this time about the great Australian landscape photographer Murray Fredericks, and how he spent five weeks a year, for six years, camped in a salt lake in Australia.  His photography is stunning, and the movie is definitely worth watching.

I don't fly, but on a recent bus trip to NYC, the showed Daylight on the way up AND on the return trip.

Yeah, bus trips.  I traveled on two overnight bus trips between Melbourne and Sydney.  On the way down we watched Twilight; the Japanese tourist sitting next to me barely spoke English and couldn't really understand the film (which no doubt spared him the true horror that is Twilight). 

The second movie was The Ramen Girl with Brittany Murphy, which was a surprisingly good movie about a girl who followed her boyfriend to Japan, only to be dumped by him.  She was utterly despondent, and somehow managed to apprentice herself to a ramen chef who could not speak English, much to both their chagrin.

Never been on a plane that seated more than 30 or 40 people. My flying experience is limited to small charter flights and private planes.

None.

And I am not talking about the title of a film. And there are a number of reasons why.

(1) I have already seen it, and I have no interest in seeing it again.

(2) I have not seen it, but I have no interest in seeing it the first time.

(3) And they often edit the film for content, and I will not watch a film that has been edited for content.
